I just played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake — and it looks and plays better than I could have ever imagined
As someone who just recently gave Link’s N64 magnum opus a chance, I walked away from the remake of that game with even more excitement about its November release.
After playing the remade version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Switch 2, I am even more eager to experience the original game. The switch from first-person to third-person during the initial cutscene was a fun little change, making Navi's interaction with Link's house more amusing. The forest and village areas look and feel more detailed, with vibrant colors, lush grass, and towering trees bringing the world of Hyrule to life.
The new graphical presentation, combined with the familiar combat mechanics, makes the remade game a joy to play and showcases the power of the Switch 2 hardware.
