  "account": "Nintendo has officially revealed the studio behind the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. After speculation about which team would be responsible, it has been confirmed that Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development (EPD) Production Group No. 3 is leading the development effort. This studio is known for its involvement in most of the Zelda games, so the news comes as no surprise. However, some fans may have wondered if this remake would be handled by a different studio, given that the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time was developed by Grezzo and the 2024 release of Echoes of Wisdom was led by Monolith Soft. Despite these doubts, it seems likely that EPD Production Group No. 3 is handling the remake with support from other studios, such as Grezzo and Monolith Soft. While some fans may be disappointed that the main Zelda team isn't focusing solely on the next major installment, it's possible that this approach allows for more efficient development. The full list of studios contributing to the remake will be revealed when the game is released on November 5.",
  "summary": "Nintendo has revealed the development team behind the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. As part of the company's Ask the Developer Q&A series, Nintendo confirmed that the project is being handled by its Entertainment Planning & Development (EDP) Production Group No. 3. This group is the same team responsible for most The Legend of Zelda projects from the last 30 years.\n\nThe announcement clarifies previous fan speculation that Xenoblade series developer Monolith Soft might be leading the reimagining. The Q&A features franchise producer Eiji Aonuma and series directing veteran Hidemaro Fujibayashi. Additionally, EDP Production Group No. 3 members HokWai Ng, Aya Shida, Hiroki Taguchi, and Masato Ohashi are listed as interviewees for future highlights.\n\nWhile Nintendo is known to be secretive about which studios work on its games, Polygon notes that the company often maintains a high level of secrecy to create a specific sense of wonder around its brand.",
