Hey listen! I don’t know how to feel about this look. I’m happy about the Remake, because it will be realized in full 3D, without the early technical limitations of Nintendo 64. But I guess we need to see this in action in the game, rather than this quick few seconds at non gameplay sequence.
Will this be a re-imagining like Final Fantasy 7 Remake was? Sure the overworld map will be more interesting this time without loading screens in between the areas, with the lessons learned from Breath of the Wild. More than the graphics update, I’m very curious about the gameplay changes and how the world will be layed out. And the soundtrack off course.
How far will Nintendo diverge from the original? BTW I won’t buy a Switch 2, so will miss out on this unfortunately.

I love OoT and I still play the game semi regularly, but I just feel so conflicted about this. It’s good that a game I like so much is being made more easily available and is getting the (nearly) 30 year old limitations and rough edges polished out, but on the other hand… I just don’t know. In my opinion those rough edges give the game a certain charm that gets lost even if the devs do everything right

I guess for the middle ground, there is still the unofficial de-compilation project www.shipofharkinian.com . Just added it to the post.

Ship is amazing. Played through z64 like 5 times when it came out and tried to play on cart again, but the frame rate, cutscenes, and item selection were painful. I can’t go back to the original. I’ve been spoiled

Ship of Harkinian is how I’ve been playing OoT the most lately and I can’t recommend it enough

The thing that I remember the most about OoT, even all these years later, is the ambience. If they can keep that general feeling while modernizing the game, it will be awesome. We’ll see whether or not they’re able to!

Also worth pointing out how many very popular games even today have visuals on par with the N64 game. Kids are fine with that; they just don’t want to set up yellow, red, and white AV cables of an N64.

I’m of a similar mind, but at least no remake, good or bad, will remove the original. Thanks to the hard work of decompilation teams, anyone can play a truly definitive version of the original OoT at any time. It’s both preserved and perfected, available as it was but with support for the controllers, PC setups, and refresh rates that we are used to today.
That’s why I’m okay with the remake even if it is a strong departure from the original game. I’m more interested in a reimagining type of remake rather than one that just tries to do exactly what the original did with better graphics.
