The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched on Nintendo Switch 2 with a new launch trailer, and the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 items have begun appearing in retailer restocks. Posts single out Link’s Great Fairy moment as a standout, praise the remake’s updated day and night cycle and Polish localization, and repeatedly note how the opening theme and upgraded visuals are driving tearful nostalgia. One player celebrated finally receiving a special foil physical copy, while many describe the game as snappier and more modernized compared with the original.

I see people comparing what bugs/exploits/etc are missing in the ocarina of time remake but… it’s a remake… literally none of it will be there

I think this is a solid reason why it does actually matter to use “remake” (new visuals and code base) and “remaster” (mostly new visuals only) correctly lol

While true, I gotta say some of the best stuff in FF7 Remake games is when they reference the old bugs The fact that in the PS1 JP version they forgot to remove a weird beta testing enemy that just begs to be killed in one area, and in the remake they turn it into a real enemy, is so cool

Are people just latching onto the fact OOT3D did this? It is basically a juiced up version of the N64 one, unlike the NS2 one

otoh, i'm pretty sure it's the botw engine underneath, right? so we might still get some of these bugs

It amused me that some of the Old Ways still work--being able to put a deku stick away before it burns to save it after using it to light a torch is one. I'm loving it.

i appreciate the changes to the day/night cycle in the ocarina remake. time passes in towns now rather than just in outdoor areas like hyrule field, and on top of the sun's song there are now spots you can rest to pass the time if you need it to be a specific time of day

While the Ocarina of Time Remake eludes me till I can get a Switch 2, I did get my hands on Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered. Never played the original, but I'll be honest...this is fun as hell. A tournament fighter with big monsters destroying shit. Me likey.

Also, maybe it's cuz I know this game from AVGN's Godzilla Games video, but the announcer going "MONSTERS, FIGHT!" is super iconic to me.

This game legit makes me wanna put on Blue Oyster's Godzilla song as I fight these kaijus (or the awesome Serj Tankian cover from KotM).

I spent like 5 hours tonight in it.

Here’s my beginner tip for anyone jumping into the Ocarina of Time remake: have the game basically memorised from having played the original several times. It’s a real time saver!

if we go off of the 3DS to guess the Switch 2's next move, we're due for a Majora's Mask remake next though who knows, maybe they'll go crazy and remake Mario 64 or some shit, throw us all off xD

The new remake of 1998's "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for the Nintendo Switch 2 system manages to somehow improve on one of the greatest games ever.

ocarina of time remake is making me realise i miss this style of game. games these days either have extreme handholding, or they don’t tell you shit. games used to be in the middle, man. i wanna know what i’m meant to be doing by checking a menu, and then i’ll just run around to find it.
