Ocarina of Time remake gets Nov 5, 2026 release date and gameplay in Zelda 40th Direct
I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks quite nice, honestly..! It reminds me a lot of Jim Henson's fantasy works, like The Dark Crystal I understand it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I personally find it pretty charming and it's exciting to see a Zelda game in so much detail! #zelda
Calling it "Realism" would be a bit of a misnomer, I guess It's very detailed, but it isn't trying to be particularly realistic with its designs! I do understand a lot of the negativity though, between the history of Unreal Engine recreations and OoT's importance, but I think the art style is nice!
yeah!!! you get it!!!!! its scary at first but ngl after seeing the faces and models for characters, its ABSOLUTELY giving dark crystal and the like. i really enjoy it!!
That's a nice way to look at it. I appreciate that film for inspiring the Kyantol, one of my favorite things to come from the Shining series.
What's so concerning about the new Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake... ?
Had to find this post again, because this is the vibes seeing the characters in these clips gives me.
I agree with everything about the state of the industry, but as a chronic jumpaholic, I am pro adding a jump button to every game. When I learned I could jump on a mount or with rotom in pokemon games for the first time, I joyfully screamed. Let my boy leave the ground!
Saying this as someone who has issues with the art style: I think Nintendo's big remake kick says more about a future-thinking audience shift than anything else. The kids who were inspired by N64 have grown up. Nintendo is saying, "here's the thing you loved as a kid, updated for YOUR kids."
