Environment looks pretty good. Link looks over-designed.
Looks pretty good. Some of you younger folks might not believe me, but when this came out on the 64 and I was 11 it looked exactly like this to me.
Overall I think it looks fine. I think the spirit of the original is there.
I don’t like how shiny some parts are, especially when they’re wet. It just looks bad like a simple filter slapped on.
I’ll probably play it at some point, but I don’t need to play it day one.
No puzzle will be a puzzle
No story twist will be a twist
I know the route through the lost woods and can get the biggoron sword without any thought.
I know everything.
I don’t think I’ll play it.
We must be twins. I love the cutscene where kapora is flying link to kakariko village after leaving the top of death mountain. I purposely have saved files where I know a specific cutscene that I love will happen, and I leave it. Whenever I decide to smoke one, I’ll get ripped and start that file and watch beautiful cutscenes.
if they made Majora’s mask I probably would play it
I hope you got to enjoy tears of the kingdom because I really liked it.
Inconsistent, like two separate people were in charge of what the game looked like and they didn’t agree with eachother at all. You can tell there was an attempt at retaining the games distinct style in some of the character design and and animations, but they went WAAAAAY overboard with Link’s design which is for some reason extremely overly-detailed compared to the NPCs. There also the issue of the game world itself seeming almost obsessed with geometry. Kokiri foreat may have looked flat in the original but it’s like a huge overcorrection in the remake. Especially compared to the Hyrule castle town which looks like it was remade with much more sense.
I hate it. It looks like shit. The overly designed tunic is disgusting and reeks of the issues with video games today. We are too focusing on the fact of making shit look cool instead of making shit look like a video game which is a constant issue over the many many myriad of multiple graphic generations.
Also I really wish Nintendo would MOVE THE FUCK ON FROM OOT. GOD DAMN IT.
Tl;dr: gamer don’t want shiny picture, gamer wants game
the character style seems jarringly inconsistent
I’m excited as hell.
I love Ocarina of Time with all my heart, but it hasn’t aged well like most games of its era. I can’t wait to re-experience it with modern controls and quality of life.
Additionally I’m more excited that it’s a faithful remake vs a reimagining. I’ve wanted an updated version of OoT for a long time, and the 3D versions never scratched that itch for me.
Have you tried Ship of Harkinian?

I think it’s the best version of the game, enough quality of life and playability improvements but without losing what made the original so good.
I haven’t! Idk where to get started. I have a pc. Just don’t want to do shady stuff like pirate the game or anything.
Post Napster fear lol
Ain’t shit Tendo can do about you downloading a rom, my friend.
And add the 3DS HD textures with it. Better graphics, modern resolution support, and twin stick camera movement is amazing
Same here. I hated breath of the wild. But this Zelda is true to the dialogue and game mechanics looks simple like the OG 64 version. From darunia smacking your head to the great fairy. Oh man I’m psyched. Buying a switch 2 just for that.
yeah this was the title that convinced me to pull the trigger on a switch 2, that plus the xenoblade upgrades
[insert the totality of the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream 'Hate' monologue]I finally understand what one of my mates felt when everyone was glazing SH2 Remake.
Trash garbage. Looks AI Generated. Looks like DLSS5. Looks like those old “THIS WILL BE MARIO IN 2016” shitposts from the olden days.
The shitty runoff of something I loved.
OTOH, as long as Nintendo keeps sucking, I’m glad, means I won’t be tempted to give them any more money, which with how evil they’ve been, is good for me.
except you and your friends are wrong. the SH2 remake was fantastic and universally praised.
you are hating on it to hate on it, it seems.
You can’t really be “wrong” about an opinion on a video game
Anyone who thinks there is such thing as a “wrong opinion” has no idea what an opinion even is.
And is probably 14 years old, that too.
keep telling yourself that.
Okay I will ☺️🌈🌞 (picture of me living in an awesome world where people’s opinions on video games can’t be wrong)
SH2 Remake completely misunderstood what made SH2 a masterpiece and was garbage. At least it didn’t look like GenAI. Plus I don’t have any personal attachment to SH2 unlike my friend. People just glaze it because they are young and never played the original so they don’t get it.
This one, on top of all that shit, looks like Generative AI. Ugly as all fuck. If you want to pay a fortune to play algorithmically-generated slop that can and will be taken away from you with no warning because you don’t even own it, be my guest.
I see, so you just irrational hate on things to hate on them. got it.

It’s cool and all but I’m tired of the constant remakes. And it’s past due. They already remade it on 3DS but should have gotten a big boy console release back then. At this point I really want a new, regular 3D Zelda that isn’t BoTW a third time in a row. It’s been FIFTEEN YEARS.
they make what sells.
you may want that, but most consumers these days don’t. they like open world games and adore remakes.
Not to mention most people playing these games haven’t played them in the past. n64 only sold 33 million units, worldwide, over 6 years. switch 2 has sold 23 million units in a single year.
It will definitely sell, that’s not in question. But how much longer are we going to do this? It’s been remade twice. Halo has been remade twice. Are we really gonna go for a third time in 10 more years, STILL with no original content? Or nothing good at least in Halo’s case. At some point people who were going to play it will have played it. And it’s not inaccessible. You can fire up an N64 emulator on any old phone or computer. A decent one will emulate the 3DS version.
It’s not that I don’t see the value in it, but it should have been done a long time ago. I’ve played it at least twice. I’m not going to play it again. When do loyal fans (or anyone mildly tech savvy) get rewarded with something new? And what happens when there is no more nostalgia to huff because we stopped making things?
because people want to buy it.
I love it. I love being able to re-play these old games.
you realize you are only one person right? and millions of other people disagree with you, at least judging from sales numbers on these.
nobody is forcing you to buy or play this game, for sure. plenty of new games are also being made, you can go buy the new kirby they just announced today. i’m not sure why you think nintendo should only make the zelda game you specifically want to play, that’s a bit nutty isn’t it?
Looks great. I wish Mario 64 got the same treatment in its recent rereleases. The game’s got good bones, but it has some rough edges with respect to controls that we could fix with a modern C stick, and I don’t think early 3D graphics have the same sentimental value that pixel art does.
I kinda disagree on early 3d graphics not having the same sentimental value, but for some reason its specifically the ps1 wobbly style 3D graphics for me that do it, maybe because it is so distinct, almost in the way pre-rendered 3d backgrounds from 90s era pc games are. For whatever reason the n64 just kinda looks like shit to me and the dreamcast looks like it belongs in the ps2/xbox era anyway.
Yeah, that seems like another slam dunk if they do that. Remaking N64 games makes a lot of sense as the audience was so small for them 20+ years ago but the gameplay and design of those games is eternally good.
Everyone was so skeptical of StarFox but then they played it and loved it and it’s done very well.
It looks foggier than Superman 64. Why is there fog or mist in every shot of that trailer?
Young link looks like a toddler, not a 10 year old. Why do their faces look like that?
How does voice acting improve on the original?
I’m going to stick to the fan recomps when I get the OoT itch. This looks like dog shit.
i’m pretty bumbed. a remake of OoT that incorporated the improved combat and map design of the newer games would be an insta buy, but it seems like the same game but with a focus group approved Nintendo-Hire-This-Man hyper detailed art direction. the “playing the songs into the mic” thing is neat at the very least, but other than that i can’t think of a reason to play this over the original
I have qualms about it as well. Hype realism freaks me out sometimes. Can’t even handle the 3ds version. I luckily got a Nintendo and first edition OoT on eBay. I stick to that.
I was more excited when I thought this was a trailer for the movie. I am not a big fan of remakes; I prefer entirely new things. The only thing aside from the visuals that would be beneficial is modernizing the control scheme; but OOT is so simple, the fact it was an early 3D game when they hadn’t yet nailed the controls wouldn’t really make a huge difference. The camera might control better having the right stick be dedicated to it; but that’s about it.
I got the remake of links awakening because I never finished I the original.
I’ve beaten OoT on N64 & the master quest on GameCube…
Oooh. They made it pretty. Yawn.
