We received a short trailer with no real gameplay during the last Nintendo Direct.
Nintendo has officially announced a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeending months of rumors and speculation. The company released a short trailer during today’s Nintendo Direct livestream and it looks like a top-to-bottom remake with a huge graphical facelift. The game will launch later this year on Switch 2, with more details to come.
There’s still a lot we don’t know, including the price and whether there will be new content. We also don’t know if there is a remake of Majora’s Mask going down the pike. Still, it’s good that the company is celebrating the franchise’s anniversary in a big way, because we all know that another true 3D Zelda is likely years away. Breath of the Wild And Tears of the Kingdom were released more than six years apart, and they used the same engine and much of the same map.
Of course, this isn’t the first remake of Ocarina of time. The game was remade for the 3DS, as was Majora’s Mask. It was also ported to the Wii, Wii U, and Switch via Virtual Console and the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service.
For the uninitiated, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the very first 3D Zelda. It was released on the N64 in 1998. It is widely considered one of the best Zelda games of all time, and many consider it one of the best video games ever made.
