Wait, are we actually supposed to get excited about OOT? Of course I’m looking forward to see how it looks and what they did to some enemy designs. But that won’t change its core which is still OOT if I had a S2 I’d consider getting if they add a story expansion, but as it stands right now I have 0 hype for this and actually expected it to be the case for most people.
It came out in '98. There is over an entire generation of gamers now who have never played it.
I don’t know the plan. If they’re angling to just milk nostalgia, probably no big deal. If the game stands on its own merit and people under 35 see it as just “the new Zelda game”, it doesn’t really matter if it’s a remake or not. That’s a big slice of the market.
Its 100% nostalgia. Unless they change quite a lot of how the game actually works, the game kinda sucks now.
It was beyond incredible for its time, and has earned its spot in the all-time hall of fame, but you won’t be able to get kids of today to actually enjoy it.
Yeah maybe. My nephews are absolutely obsessed w/ Mario 64 despite having basically every console.
Honestly, Mario 64 never resonated with me.
I’m not saying kids will like it, I’m just not as certain as you that they won’t. People went bananas for stardew valley, which is at it’s core SNES harvest moon. The right game in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
or people just like good games that capture their imaginations and are fun and rewarding to play.
and what makes a game good doesn’t really change with time.
It’s a remake, not a remaster. It will likely have entirely new assets and a modern game design. Familiar but new
Yeah I agree, I even think nintendo’s has a bigger nostalgia market with parents who will buy it for their kids.
I think a lot (or at least a lot of the more vocal) older fans will realise that a ground up remake isn’t going to hit the same mark gameplay wise, a mixed bag no matter what for a game with a cult following like oot
Did you see the trailer? It’s impressive what they’ve done
You can really feel the thrill of discovery and exploration.
Also I am glad that Nintendo is finally taking a political stance wath that sentence at the end.
i would like to be able to play OoT and MM with a normal controller sometime
I do get that, im just confused about the hype surrounding it. You can maybe take a look at Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian then! Its a decompilation of the original games running at 120 FPS with Modding support and all sorts of enhancements.
I never had a nintendo console beyond the NES until I got a switch as an adult since I ended up on the sega and then playstation. I missed out on many of these games. I know I could emulate them, and have done so for some games, but I never played OoT. I’m mildly hyped for a remaster/remake that uses modern control schemes and hopefully QoL changes.
I haven’t really looked into it, and it won’t be a day-1 purchase, but it’s on my radar.
I think they’ll be including more lore and cut content, but thats just the vibes I got from the video

New feature: now you can get the fairy to shut the fuck up by paying a microtransaction for it.
