Interesting - did not know that
Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake – Coming 2026
jacksilver@lemmy.world 5 days agoIt was a version made for the N64DD that got released for the GameCube instead. It’s definitely more like DLC, given it had improved graphics and alternate dungeons, so it’s more than just a re-release.

Yeah, I was surprised too. It’s a weird concept from the get-go, but I guess the idea was to release an “extended” edition to promote new hardware.
I guess it’s most similar to what they did with pokemon games. Blue/Red leading to Yellow or Gold/Silver leading to Crystal.

Yeah, but it wasn’t even sold in stores - it was a bonus disk with Wind Waker.

Actually this remake would be the perfect time to bundle that in

They never would, because N64 NSO exists. Kinda surprised they haven’t tossed it on there, though.
