I don't think that Zero Mission was a remake of Metroid one. For one thing, everything in the game was different. The suits, the abilities, the areas, and the storyline were all very different.
Second, it adds more content to the series.
Third, it's entirely possible. I think Zero Mission was the first mission that Samus ever went on in order to discover her origins. Metroid 1 says that she began as a member of the Federation, and then became a bounty hunter. Perhaps Samus is making that transition in Zero. The Federation has trained her, now she can use those skills along with her suit, given to her by the Chrozo, to stop Mother Brain.
Then in Metroid 1, another Mother Brain is appointed to find a way to control the Metroids. In Zero, I just think the Metroids were there, and weren’t actually used by the Space Pirates. I think the Space Pirates were more interested in the Chrozo technology. |
