Nintendo is considering remaking Majora's Mask for the 3DS in a similar way to what they did to Ocarina of Time for the handheld.
Eiji Aonuma said the reason OoT got a remake was due to the high demand from the fans and because OoT has sold very well so far, if the fans demand for Majora's Mask to be remade then Nintendo would start on the project.

"It's been 13 years since Ocarina of Time was originally released, and one of the big things that we made this remake possible was that there was an outpour of emotions from people who said they would like to see this game done," said Aonuma. "We said we could do it in 3D, so we did. I think certainly if there was a similar output of emotion and clamor from fans for a remake of Majora's Mask, it wouldn't be an utter impossibility."

Aonuma did hint Majora's Mask wouldn't just be a simple graphical and 3D-effect update like OoT but the 3-Day system would be reworked to take advantage of handheld gaming. He mentioned there wouldn't be a need to rush to complete parts of the game and fit into the traditional short time play nature of handhelds.

"Thinking on it now, having a handheld Majora’s Mask where you could kind of just set things down on your own time – close it, set it aside and come back to it later – might be a game play element some fans will actually take to and might really appreciate. Especially considering how you really had to rush through the original game, in a sense."
