What Retro Game Deserves A Remake? #GJAsks

Personally, I'm a bit iffy with how remakes treat retro games. A few turn out really good, while others miss the mark.

But if I were to guess, I'd pick Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.


Why?

Because I believe it deserves a second chance of fixing the issues that game had. It's considered to be the hardest Zelda game in the series.

The game definitely had some design problems. Maybe they could balance the difficulty to be fair, but still be challenging for those who like having challenges. If a player fails, it's the players fault and not the game's fault. Because we all know that some old games tend to be very hard and unforgiving and unfair.

Add mini a map for the overworld, adding a proper list of missions that you can keep track of, maps for dungeons, get rid of unfair enemy designs (invisible enemies), remove the Lives system, update the dialog, etc.

Also, they could add anime cutscenes to add more story lore to the game. The art style should remain the same.

I'm not sure what else the could improve upon, but that's my suggestion.

I'm not quite sure if I really have a favorite enemy boss. If I were to choose, it would be I.N.E.P.T. from Yooka Replaylee.
