If Nintendo wanted to, would they be able to remake these great games on DS!? Is the DS powerful enough?
Would the DS cartridge be big enough for both games to be tied into one, since they are connected?

The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.
Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask - Are they possible on DS?
Ocarina yes, unfortunately though majoras mask is a no
The majoras mask thing isn't facts from me its just what I heard. Cause they had to do something graphically to it using a different chip or something (think about star fox with the SX or whatever it was chip, that made the game almost impossible to emulate the graphics properly. From what I have heard Majoras mask used something somewhat similar but only slightly (not the whole game)
"Ocarina yes, unfortunately though majoras mask is a noI thought they were just shaders, made possible thru the use of the Expansion Pak.

"how would you incorporate the stylus in a good way though?They would have to completely remake these games to use the stylus. So, Nintendo wouldn't do it. If they could port it, without adding stylus support, then it's possible, but highly doubted. It would be sort of to have it on that platform, but it's available on so many other ones, I don't know how much it would sell. Probably to the most hardcore of Zelda fans. But either way, it's highly doubtful.
perhaps you could control the ocarina with the stylus, and bow/slingshot/hook?"
It would be awesome to have a polished handheld version one day.m I would like to think in the next gen of Nintendo handheld it will be a certainty.
When ever Nintendo releases OoT and/or MM on DS, I'll buy a DS. Or if they just remake them for the Wii.
"They would have to be downgraded graphically like Mario 64 DS was, but it should still play them well enough."Super Mario 64 DS looks better than the N64 version though.
