    Some thoughts:

    • This was leaked ahead of time, kind of ruining the surprise
    • Art style looks like it's favoring realism in the vein of Twilight Princess/The Wii U tech demo again
    • The logo typography matches Breath of the Wild. This probably means some game design elements may be ported back and this will prove controversial to classic Zelda fans.
    • This will prove controversial regardless so I don't know why I singled that out.

      If anything, remakes should be transformative in some way to justify their existence. But I hold that belief under the hope that the original is always easily accessible.

        I have the cartridge in my 3DS and the original is on Nintendo Switch Online. And people will still get angry because that's just what they do unfortunately.

          I think it's fair to be disappointed if you just want the same game but with better graphics and controls and you get something different. But people will obviously be much worse than disappointed...

    The character design in the trailer does not inspire confidence. It looks like they took the first result for "i remake zelda in unreal engine 5" on YouTube and hired the designer. It's so ugly.

    This is the second remake and the fifth release of Ocarina of Time. I wonder how much more they can milk this game.

    I'd really like a brand new Zelda game. TotK was too similar to BotW and I just couldn't get into it. Echoes of Wisdom was fun, though quite short. Releases are getting further apart, and I hope that EoW doesn't mean the next original Zelda installment is another decade away.

      Idk feels fine to me. The OoT remake was on the 3DS, and it mostly kept the same gameplay. Honestly OoT feels pretty dated these days, from the awkward camera movement to always starting the game...

      Idk feels fine to me. The OoT remake was on the 3DS, and it mostly kept the same gameplay. Honestly OoT feels pretty dated these days, from the awkward camera movement to always starting the game from Link’s house. Not surprising given it was one of the first 3D third person games. Things have changed a lot since it came out.

      A remake has a lot to offer.
