All these remakes and remasters - give me a remix. Make it just different enough that I don’t know the layouts, the puzzles, the plot twists, and story progression. Give me different side quests and a new item.
Majora’s Mask was sick too. I don’t necessarily need a new engine. I got 4 more dungeons, a new theme, and a new bad guy. That was lit.
That’s how the Resident Evil remakes are. The bones and story beats are the same, but the puzzles are different, levels expanded and reworked, new weapons, new game modes, etc. I think they’re the gold standard for that sort of thing.
I think the most we get is some Amiibo support that does virtually nothing like in BOTW and maybe some extended cutscenes. Not even really sure if we get Master Quest remixed stuff, kinda doubt it.
We don’t know yet what is it, do we? Considering we had the 3DS remake (or remaster, really), I’m expecting them to do lots of overhauls. Hyrule Field in it’s entirety will likely be remade.
I’m not buying it because I both played the 3DS version, and don’t care enough to replay it - or something too similiar to it - again, but I don’t think the veterans are the target audience, it’s new fans of the series after BotW came out.

I remember somewhere in my adolescence, somewhere between the N64 and Wii, I was all “this is so fun! I can’t wait to see all the new characters, mechanics, and worlds that come out!”
And I mean there are plenty or people making plenty of new things. I just kind of thought major studios would be pitching into the effort. It’s a way that the inevitable concentration wealth of wealth and its incentive to churn out safe gray slop is disappointing
Damn, now I want a MGS1 remix using MGSV playability

Not super crazy about this but I realized it’s been like 10 years of botw. The children yearn for normal zelda
It’s pretty amazing how much TOTK ruined people’s enthusiasm for open world Zelda. People loved BOTW and seemed to just want a handful of old Zelda stuff back, like good dungeons. After totk the prevailing opinion seems to be that they should just go back to the Lttp formula
I guess Nintendo was really hoping that the custom vehicle stuff would be enough of an innovation to stand on its own, but that’s just such a different type of game from Zelda that most people ended up ignoring it and experiencing TOTK as a full price expansion pack. I think open world + classic gadget style puzzle dungeons would be
- that’s kinda what my personal goated Zelda A Link Between Worlds does and it’s great in that game.The building mechanic seems like something they came up part way through development and got so excited about it they forgot to make the rest of the game. They should have used the building mechanics for a new Pilotwings game or something that would be based around it.
I don’t even mind the concept of an open world, immersive sim, style of Zelda game. But the vehicle building mechanics, and doing so much with the magic ipad, instead of just giving me a traditional Zelda toolkit…It just felt like a fundamentally different game, and I didn’t like it.
Shut up. Shut up. Just shut up.
OoT has perhaps the single most perfect opening screen of all time. You wanna make a teaser? Black screen,sound of hoofes on dirt, a gently plucked guitar, faint moon rising, a silhouette with a goofy hat and a sword riding through an open field. Hit the violins, hold the shot, hit the flute, pan over smoke on death mountain. Make it not look like glossy unreal engine slop. Fade to title. 15 billion likes.
OoT is 80% atmosphere and like 2% Navi or some sage yapping. Just please stop talking. Stop explaining. When did “show don’t tell” die? Fuck off.
I wish they made something original in the pre-BotW formula, but I’m okay with this. My dream is for a Link’s Awakening style remake of the Oracle duo. Someday maybe.
I imagine we’ll get a direct for this in the next month or two with more information. It’ll probably get a November release for holiday sales.
Had Ages when I was a kid, loved it.
You should check out Oracle of Seasons. They’re two entirely different games with the ability to carry over part of your save from the other. Both of them just had the gimmick of maps changing depending on time/season.
Oracle of seasons/ages were the first Zelda games I fully beat and makong one a sequel to the other with passwords or link cables was cool as hell. If theyre gonna remake a Zelda it shoild be those ones, partially cause I think they would genuinely benefit from not being on Gameboy color and they didnt hit the widest audience possible at the time and have gotten a bit of a cult following. The bad graphics and me beong like 10 means I imagined everything way cooler thsn they would make it tho
My dream is for a Link’s Awakening style remake of the Oracle duo.
Me too, but for an odd reason: I want all the music in the Oracle duo to be reimagined. It’s the one major area where those games fall flat on their face.
looks like shit as expected
it is very obvious they’ve modeled Link after the Live Action Actor child for the presumably shit movie they will put out next year. 
we didn’t need a OOT remake with the ugly ass Unreal Engine render. Will I be buying & playing Day 1? Well of course I will, I have a Majora’s Mask poster hanging in my apartment for all to see when they walk in and have played every other edition of OOT. Will I like it? Probably fucking not it looks ugly as shit lol and I can only imagine they’ll ruin/change parts of it.
Anyways I personally believe OOT is perfect as is (yes, even locked to 20fps) because it is primarily a product of its time. Without OOT you have no z-targeting/strafing in modern games, as well as a few other things like open worlds (debatable really but I think few would deny that OOT really pushed things). A large part of OOT’s charm is definitely tied to the design limitations of the N64.
Do we need a 4k version? No. Do children need a new version to play on their Switches? No, isn’t that what the NSO subscription is for with the N64 Emulator??
I guess on the bright side we’ll have a lot less “OOT is the best game of all time, no I haven’t played it” LARP. Am willing to bet $50 they fuck up the camera controls/movement and it just becomes a completely different game as a result though.
OOT with free cam
Waitin’ for more info but I’ve hated voice acting in Zelda games so far and I hate how that 3D model of Link looks. The N64 and 3DS games look really good in their own ways and I assume this is going to be an UE5 engine horror vacui ugo-fest like how Halo 1 remake needed to put more random shit everywhere to look more superficially detailed even when it didn’t add anything aesthetically positive.
Would love if it’s secretly a sequel or total remix or something. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s different gameplaywise, but also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same as that Starfox remake where it’s basically the same game again.
Adult head on child body.
I probably won’t play it for years until Switch 2 emulation gets there, but still hyped on this. OoT was such a huge part of my childhood, I played it for years and knew it inside and out, and 12 year old me wrote OoT fanfic. Even “found the triforce.” It’s in there, in the gold cart version anyways, but you need gameshark and can’t do anything with it.
I had a dream a couple months back I was playing this, an OOT remake with photoreal graphics.
I just get Ship of Harkinian when I want to play OoT.
