"Why do they keep remaking these old games?" /s

    I have a coworker who says this kind of crap. I don't mind. I have a '98 copy. I'm not buying a Switch 2 just to play the new one, but this would be an excellent way for younger people to experience one of my favorite games for the first time.

    Not just that, but the level of detail in the remake is stunning. The game is downright gorgeous.

    I'm 39 and I love Zelda. I just happened to miss this one.

    I've also played the new Link's Awakening, because when I played that in the gameboy I was so young I never finished it.

    I love that they are remaking them. And remaking them so well.

    Game looks way better than I would have imagined for a remake. I still won't buy a switch 2 but makes me really consider one.

    This is my absolute favorite Zelda game now. Also love Twilight Princess and BoTW but this is the definitive game for me.

    Hell yeah hopefully they make Majora's Mask now.

    Something fun to notice in this remake is that all the NPCs are on a daily schedule. They have day and night locations and they move between them naturally.

    They definitely built that feature planning for Majora's Mask.

    Someone spotted an IMDB listing for fierce deity. And with the way this remake has the "routines" function that made MM iconic, i'd say its close to a guarentee that they're working on it.

    I was not a Nintendo kid, but OoT is great. I can see why it was praised.

    I still prefer the OG, but this is a great way to play it also. I just imagine how magical it must be for a kid to play this for the first time.

    Has it had a shitload of updates to like controls and menus and general quality of life stuff?

    I go back and emulate it from time to time and its always jarring to me how awkward it feels to play

    Pretty much every QoL improvement you could want is there. And there's enough new/changed that I'm going to need to cross reference after I'm done. I hadn't played it in a long long time, and the things I've forgotten are meshing with the things that have changed in a pleasing way.

    Fantastic well done remake. Reminds me when Nintendo was innovating on software.

    I first played OoT on the Wii VC in like 2010 and really enjoyed it but felt like it was really poorly aged in a lot of ways.

    I wondered if this remake would end up highlighting a game that was revolutionary for its time but basic by today's standards. But nope. It's a masterclass in game design. I can't put it down. It's so beautiful and perfectly structured.

  • Does this include preorders?

    This will teach them for cracking down on emulators of their current systems.
