Release date is Nov 5 2026. I believe the physical release is an actual physical release and not a game key card.

Looks like it’s going to be very close to the original, at least judging by the scenes they chose for the trailer. The camera and scenarios look 1:1 identical to OOT. I like that!

Hope they introduce some bonus content or an Easter egg, but I do think that being faithful to the original is a the right choice.

    For anyone lamenting they don't have a Switch 2, or looking for OoT with QoL improvements for cheaper than whatever Nintendo's asking price is, there is a free PC port of OoT that will run as fast as your hardware can handle it without messing up gameplay speed etc, has a ton of switchable QoL features, and has mod support for using 3DS (and better) graphics/models. You can even use Master Quest's edited dungeons with all the benefits of the 3DS version.

    It's called Ship of Harkinian. All you have to do is provide a copy of the game ROM.

    Never played the orig (never had a console after the Atari 2600), but as much as I've hears of the zelda-games, it's probably worth a shot?

    A pirated ROM will probably do fine too? Before even thinking of giving nintendo a single Buck.

    Thanks either way!

    I think so, I think Ocarina of Time earns its high esteem, and Ship of Harkinian irons out a lot of the QoL issues that make the original annoying, like being able to toggle boots without going into the menu.

    After you finish OoT I'd recommend running Majora's Mask via 2 Ship 2 Harkinian as well. It's less popular than OoT but every bit as good, I think. I can't pick just one, but if I had to pick a "#1 favorite video game of all time", Majora's Mask would be a finalist. It's really good.

    the amount of overly detailed shitting on it is something else. so many bitter weirdos just trying to find some absurd detail to hate on because... they have nothing better to do and no idea what non-bitter gaming people care about?

    it will sell 20 million+

    I'm honestly surprised how I haven't seen people ranting yet about how Nintendo is fascist and run by neo-nazis and this remake is proof of that.

    The Nintendo discourse cycle:

    1. Months of furious, irrational debate
    2. Releases to record sales
    3. 1 year later, no lasting cultural impact and most people agree that you should probably just play the original for the historical context (maybe the 3DS remaster, more debate ensues)

    I prefer their remakes, not gonna lie. Improvements to gameplay QoL here and there, good looking graphics, better frame rates(!).

    And I grew up with NES and N64. I know what it was like. The slow frame rate is a big source of frustration for me, personally. But upgraded visuals are a big plus to me also.

    Nintendo finally hired that guy!

    Jokes aside, looks pretty good. The faces are throwing me off a lot though. They're so... weird. I was expecting something closer to breath of the wild than the semi-realistic style. I hope they adjust kid link, at least.

    I thought the faces looked good, except young Zelda looked a little weird to me.

    Uncanny valley where nobody wants this, identityless UE5 visual style, but it's a box check to sell more copies.. aka, soulless, greedy slop.

    It looks like it's gonna be bad.

    If it's unlikely to be better than the original, the only reason for it to exist is to make money.

    Also what in garbage name is that awful voice acting? If there's better voice acting in WWF, your voice acting sucks piss.

    I just want the people making games to care about us again and stop making things that are clearly, so blatantly, insultingly soulless garbage just to extract money from us and play on the weak minded who are slaves to their nostalgia and have no self control.

    Stop giving people that make shit like this money.

    Hard pass.

    I don’t like realistic looking Zelda games. There’s enough call of duties on the market already

    If I can still parry Ganon with a bottle, I’ll be content.

    I know this game inside and out so I'm afraid I won't really enjoy it. Looks a little weird.

    I still get sad about Saria. She's the best character in the game.

    Sheik has a long braid? Are they just giving up on the disguise thing?
