28 Years Since the Original Release and a Full Remake
The masterpiece from Nintendo's popular game series 'The Legend of Zelda,' 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,' has been fully remade for the Nintendo Switch 2, 28 years after its original release in 1998. This game, as the series' first 3D installment, paved the way for a new era.
The remake version will be released on November 5, 2026. By once again setting foot into the land of Hyrule, former players can enjoy both a nostalgic experience and new discoveries. Even for a new generation of players unfamiliar with the original, an enticing adventure awaits.
Hyrule Where Nostalgia and Novelty Coexist
In the remake, the scenery of 'Kokiri Forest,' where the game begins, is depicted even more vividly. The appearance of the Kokiri tribe living deep within the forest and the trees with moss and mushrooms emphasize the original atmosphere further.
In Hyrule Castle Town too, memories from the past are revived while a glimpse of a more vibrant life is visible. The bustling square filled with people breathes new life into familiar places.
Expanded World of Adventure with Improved Playability
In the remake of 'Ocarina of Time,' playability has been significantly improved, making it naturally enjoyable for modern players. Camera operation using the R-stick and the introduction of a dash function double the fun of exploring Hyrule.
Familiar controls from the original, like the jump slash, are kept, allowing players to operate with the same feel as before. It is designed to be enjoyable for both longtime fans and new players alike.
Expression Adding New Depth to the Story
In the remake, the expressions and motions of the characters have become richer, making the story resonate more deeply. The words of the Kokiri tribe when Link departs from the Kokiri Forest strongly convey the bond between them and lend a new meaning to the story.
Navi's presence has also been enhanced, assisting Link throughout the journey and sharing their joys together, leaving a lasting impression. Such additional elements provide new surprises even for players familiar with the game, strongly highlighting the adventurous aspects that are worth passing down to future generations.
