New Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Trailer Is A Throwback To The '90s N64 Ads
Art thou hyped? The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time might not be Nintendo's next Switch 2 exclusive (don't worry Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, we haven't forgotten about you), but the looming 5th November release date means that the marketing campaign is in full swing. We're getting new trailers, shorts and TV spots all over the place at the moment, and the new 'Art thou ready?' ad shared by Nintendo UK has left us sufficiently hyped and unexpectedly reminded of the N64 original's ads back in
This New ROM Hack Lets You View N64 Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Hyrule from a Whole New Perspective
Update: First development update released! As much as I loved exploring the world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, there was one thing that always bothered me - the inability to view certain areas in first person. Don't get me wrong: it was never a deal breaker, and I felt the 2D, pre-rendered backgrounds did a more-than-adequate job of creating the impression of a larger, more detailed world.

Feature: The Seven-Year Silence: How Ocarina Of Time Held My Grief At Seven Years Old
A safe space to process the unthinkable. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is frequently crowned the greatest game ever made, celebrated for its dungeons, its music, and a critical legacy that stands as the highest-reviewed title in gaming history. For those of us who were there at the time, it was for gaming what the sequence in The Wizard of Oz is when the world around Dorothy turns to colour: pure magic and wonder. But for those of us who look to art to make sense of the unthinkable, it wa

29 New Changes in the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake — Redesigned Puzzles, Updated Miniboss Fights, and Deeper Dialogue
I played more than an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, and as someone who’s finished the original several times, I noticed a lot of small changes that shine some light on the thought process behind recreating this adventure. It seems everything was on the table when considering what to tweak: altered puzzles more closely fit the modern controls, redesigned miniboss fights spice things up across each round, and new shortcuts and context clues make navigation more intuitiv
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Is Surprisingly More Different Than You Think | IGN Preview
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is far from a 1:1 remake. When I played it, I found familiar rooms containing redesigned challenges that change how the world and player function. I spoke to old friends who had new things to say that added texture to Hyrule and its people. And, I unpacked how its updated controls and detailed art design redefine its old-school combat and puzzle solving for the modern day. This remake isn’t about scope; it’s about depth. The Zelda series is full of old storie
The Ocarina of Time remake feels remarkably modern — and surprisingly terrifying
With its upcoming remake for the Switch 2, Nintendo might have nailed the best thing about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: its timelessness. The 1998 3D action adventure game for the Nintendo 64 that pioneered so much - 3D graphics, movement, exploration, openness - has been reengineered with changes that make it feel more modern, and surprisingly terrifying at times. Based on my early hands-on time with the game, it's shaping up to be the best-looking, best-playing version of the game tha
No matter what your opinion is on the art style, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is shaping up to be a brilliant remake
I honestly can't tell you how many times I've completed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, let alone how many hours I've spent in its bucolic version of Hyrule. Though, when I told my Mum about the upcoming remake she said, 'Oh the one with the music,' in a tone I've decided to interpret as delight. I think that says a lot about how much of a fixture this game was in my life, in our household.
