The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — Official Trailer | Releases November 5, 2026 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuFfiTEr2yc

[u/ihatecatboys]

Nintendo telling us there's movie news and the news is the title is The Legend of Zelda is the most Nintendo thing I can fucking think of.

[u/failure_most_of_all → u/ihatecatboys]

The next movie announcement will be an update on improved stability.

[u/insistondoubt → u/ihatecatboys]

It's so Nintendo that none of us would ever have predicted it, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense.

[u/srjod]

Legitimately days like today remind me how Reddit is filled with the most miserable mother fuckers on earth. This looks fantastic and I’m so jacked up to play it.

[u/Xxviii_28 → u/srjod]

Umm actually the facial details on Link and Zelda are slightly off-putting and I will therefore be skipping the entire game. On an unrelated subject, why can I no longer experience joy? /s

[u/Henslock → u/srjod]

Yea people are legit miserable and ridiculous, I think this looks incredible

[u/DrDennisMcNinja]

God you people are the worst. This is great.

[u/Clbull]

They have some balls to not show a trailer for the film that's coming out in less than seven months.

[u/TLKv3 → u/Clbull]

Reminder: Spider-Man didn't show its first real trailer until about 2 months before its release.

I think this is going to become more and more of the norm for movies. Trailers only releasing 2 to 4 months before the movie releases.

[u/rockman12x]

Man Reddit is getting exponentially more miserable. You guys hate literally everything now.

My opinion is it looks absolutely amazing. So excited. My only gripe is young zelda and clearly the switch 2 struggles a bit.

[u/OldeArrogantBastard → u/rockman12x]

Every sub is just miserable people, especially the gaming sub. If it’s not a 500 hour RPG, everybody hates it.

This sub also has a weird hate boner for Nintendo.

[u/ScruffMixHaha]

Im excited for OOT by all means, but Nintendo will do anything but put Twilight Princess HD on Switch.

[u/schiffb558 → u/ScruffMixHaha]

Wind waker HD too, why's that locked away to wii u?

[u/Chlorophyllmatic]

The duality of the comments here is so fucking funny

[u/CowGoesMove → u/Chlorophyllmatic]

I'd go as far as calling it a tri-force

"This game looks shit"

"This game looks amazing"

"Where Twilight Princess?"

[u/CoolStoryDJ]

"We're making a Legend of Zelda movie and we're calling it - The Legend of Zelda.....anyway, moving on"

Wtf

[u/ChronoLink99]

I'm 100% going to be falling into pits as I forget to jump.

[u/Poltergust_3000 → u/ChronoLink99]

I hope they include auto-jumping as a toggleable option lol.

[u/Ahara_bzz]

Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me princess

[u/oceans_wont_freeze]

Nintendogs: Zelda Edition

[u/Chance-Service-9624]

Hey, Listen!

[u/Ucw2thebone → u/Chance-Service-9624]

Leave me the fuck alone.

[u/Known_Appointment604]

The fact that they made the choice to show us all the Zelda games we could access, clearly showing Twilight Princess is missing, really stung.

[u/hauser255 → u/Known_Appointment604]

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it for NSO during tomorrow's direct with 1 or 2 other gamecube games. I wouldnt be surprised if they didn't announce it either, Nintendo really marches to the beat of their own drum.

[u/Known_Appointment604 → u/hauser255]

Yeah but you’d think a Zelda direct would be the time and place to reveal it. Like they did with galaxy 1 and 2 during the Mario 40 direct..

[u/Pompf]

The most feminine Sheik weve had yet

[u/zombiexmuffins]

I just want a Twilight Princess port 😭

[u/azknight → u/zombiexmuffins]

It was such a tease for them to show all the Zelda games playable on switch and then be like “ok that’s it!”

[u/Stormflier]

My fave Nintendo direct bit is how much they make out the most mundane features as amazing innovations.

[u/Josdesloddervos → u/Stormflier]

I love them, but Nintendo is so strange sometimes. In the bit about the restaurant they talked about 'the views' while literally showing some corrugated metal roofing and siding with a couple of props. Who does that...?

[u/SaveADay89]

I said it another thread. Game looks amazing, but I hate the anime voice acting. 

[u/DoobaDoobaDooba → u/SaveADay89]

I adore Zelda games, but I definitely agree... It's my biggest gripe with the newer games by far

[u/Clarky_Carrot → u/SaveADay89]

Fake wispy american voice here

[u/JeanLucPicardAND → u/SaveADay89]

Yep, this is where I am with it. I have zero problem with the graphics or the art style, but the fucking saccharin voice acting is killing me.

[u/Xxviii_28]

Don't love the voice acting. Prefer the old UI. But honestly... who gives a shit?

Gamers have conditioned themselves to smother their joy with cynicism; an exercise that leads absolutely nowhere. I'm ready to relive one of my favourite childhood games with a beautiful new coat of paint.

[u/pichukirby]

People complaining about no Twilight Princess is a bit weird. They're about to release a remake of OoT, why would they distract from that with a TP release

[u/Shinkopeshon]

IMMA BUY THE GAME

IMMA BUY THE SWITCH

IMMA BUY IT ALL

[u/Red2397]

That was incredible. Although I was wishing for another announcement I am reminding myself that the OoT remake itself is huge

Also glad they over explained. There are going to be plenty of people who only played BotW or TotK and would be wondering why adding a jump button is significant. No complaints

[u/Negative_Strain_5234]

I am still very excited, but it is funny how similar OoT looks to that fan made UE remake scam that lasted for like a decade and never finished.

[u/theglowinggreenorb]

Just casually dropped that it's fully voiced

[u/forlackofabetterpost → u/theglowinggreenorb]

Only the cutscenes

[u/Picnicpanther]

Would love a return to non-open world Zelda games. This just really makes me miss the personality and variety all of the dungeons and locations had. BotW and TotK, though they were very cool, lacked a lot of that imo.

[u/ShokaLGBT]

I played the original on n64 when I was a kid

I played the 3ds version and master quest when I was a teenager

Now I’ll play the final version as an adult. Thanks you for making this game again. I just hope they didn’t cut master quest but yeah the graphics are insane

[u/defdog13]

Middle-aged PC gamer here. Nintendo hasn’t moved the needle for me in years, but a rebuilt Ocarina of Time?

Yeah… this might pull me back in.

[u/True-Letterhead-9525]

the neck beards in this thread complaining about everything. relax guys go to work

[u/shiroe-kun → u/True-Letterhead-9525]

bold of you to assume they work.

[u/mister42]

Wow, personally I think OOT looks amazing. I am way more excited after seeing that than I was after the first teaser. It looks beautiful.

[u/zombiexmuffins]

The naysayers can nay, I'm loving the concept of this remake.

[u/Timebear17]

November 5th Release date!

[u/s3v3nt → u/Timebear17]

I love that they dgaf about GTA 6.

[u/imlucid → u/s3v3nt]

I think it's a perfect amount of time to play and beat it before GTA6

[u/PostedNotes]

After watching the trailer I think it overall looks solid.

The children character models look pretty weird tho. Kid Zeldas face especially looked off.

I hope the inevitable success of this game shows Nintendo there is still a market for the traditional Zelda formula

[u/Sure_Director3062]

"Focus, L"

[u/jaydizzle4eva]

Wii U Remastered

[u/SmokingSamoria → u/jaydizzle4eva]

Like the entire console

[u/NovaRogue]

Okaayyy that new trailer for OoT was INCREDIBLE. Twinrova looks amazing, the Gerudo Fortress, the huge statue outside the Spirit Temple, even the wildflowers in Hyrule Field... PHENOMENAL

And it looks like you can easily swap boots, like when you're in the Water Temple 👀

[u/JosefInstallin]

I'll assume they've adjusted some of the dungeons but the free jump mechanic will break a lot of stuff, speedrunners will be eating.

Then again I expect a full 1-1 PTSD recreation with the Water Temple.

[u/Iron_Phantom29 → u/JosefInstallin]

The fact that you can quick swap items will cut down on stress exponentially.

[u/QXKD]

Looks fantastic, would honestly love a brand new game in this style. Kinda disappointed it’s a 1-1 remake but there’s a ton of understated QOL changes here that will go a long way to make the game feel a lot better.

I feel like the complaints towards this game really just sum up the general state of gaming discourse these days. For decades there’s been nothing but complaining that Nintendo are behind the times on the technical side, so they finally release a console capable of this level of detail and high framerates yet people still aren’t happy and spout whatever buzzword is making the rounds this month.

[u/gevuldeloempia → u/QXKD]

It's not a 1-1 remake. There are some differences from what I could see in the Deku Tree dungeon. But the "general idea" is the same, yes.

[u/mezmezik]

Cant wait to see if OOT remake is an reimagining of the game or just an updated engine with more or less the same game with updated visuals.

[u/ALEXC_23 → u/mezmezik]

Pretty much the latter.

[u/planeforger]

I'm guessing this means we're pretty much guaranteed to get a Majora's Mask remake in the next year or two.

[u/HanzoNumbahOneFan]

Looks good. Never played the original, so I'm excited.

[u/PsychoticDust → u/HanzoNumbahOneFan]

You get to play OoT for the first time?! I envy you, enjoy the experience!

[u/mjb85858]

Lmao the humming is great what a gimmick

[u/Queen_Lepotica]

That trailer holy goosebump.

[u/Adventurous-Toe-2156]

I’m really never going to be able to play Twilight Princess HD on my switch 2 am I?

[u/djdiphenhydramine → u/Adventurous-Toe-2156]

Or Wind Waker HD.

[u/Timebear17]

The game has a very fairytale art style to it. It might take some getting used to for some ppl, but It looks amazing to me at least

[u/LumanAce]

The extreme differences in graphics seem weird to me, some things are realistic and others are very cartoonish

[u/fallenKlNG → u/LumanAce]

There was an uncanny difference between how Young Link looked compared to the market npcs

[u/Unable-Deer1873]

Yeah, I knew people were going to be disappointed. Coming in with lofty expectations getting the bare minimum. Game looks fun. Looks like Ocarina of Time. No movie information is interesting and questionable. I don’t understand why they wasted so much time on the Nintendo Museum that 99% of the people watching the direct won’t go see. Nor do I understand them spending so much time on Zelda Notes. Neat I guess but I don’t know many people who care about the mobile app.

[u/thedavecan]

Fuck, this looks so damn good. I've not actually seen anyone saying otherwise, only people complaining about people complaining.

[u/Anfrers]

All I wanted was a port of the Wii U versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

[u/Genericthrowaw4y]

Ya’ll are a bunch of spoiled babies. This is the best thing ever

[u/mikebe1 → u/Genericthrowaw4y]

redditors just love being miserable, they can't help but bitch

[u/supremedalek925]

I like the art style. I’ve been wishing for a more detailed style again since after Twilight Princess.

My issue though is extreme inconsistency in texture detail. Why are Link’s hat and clothes have so much more intricately designed and have way more detail to the texturing than anything else? Just compare it to the clothes of someone in Castle Town. It’s pretty distracting.

[u/SexyJazzCat]

Nintendo finally achieved the zelda tech demo level of graphics.

[u/usafonz]

I never played the og (havent owned a nintendo since snes until switch 1&2).

Seeing all the hype about how it was one of the best games ever made. And loving how this one looks. Against my better financial judgement, I preordered the physical copy no less than 5 minutes after watching the preview.

This 2nd half of the year is stacked.

[u/predator-handshake → u/usafonz]

Just remember, it's still a 30 year old game. It's fantastic, but when playing it, be mindful that most of what you take for granted now, the game had innovated back in the day. Z-Targeting, day/night cycles, 1st person aiming, "giant" 3d world, horseback riding, etc etc etc.. not too many games did that stuff back then and no game did them all... and properly

[u/index24]

I’m not really sure why this wasn’t just called the Ocarina of Time direct to set expectations accordingly.

Yeah concerts and little stuff in the mobile app are neat, but didn’t warrant the title “40th Anniversary Direct”.

Like we couldn’t even get NSO games? Not even talking about the full remakes but like how hard would it have been to just add Twilight Princess?

[u/Available-Can-5878]

adding a way to play the ocarina through humming is such a Nintendo touch. And it works woth a real ocarina too?!

[u/ashrashrashr]

Looks fucking incredible. Holy shit.

[u/tforthegreat]

I didn't want to get a Switch 2 any time soon. Guess I'm gonna start saving up. 

[u/Franklo]

Guess I'll never have a reason to play the 3DS version I've been hoarding for 10 years . . .

[u/jardex22 → u/Franklo]

You have a couple months to squeeze a playthrough in.

[u/Sajiri]

I am looking forward to being traumatised by the redeads again

[u/Jabroni-the-hutt]

Looks really amazing, especially hyrule field.

[u/Timebear17]

Being able to actually sing into the ocarina irl is actually kinda genius ngl

[u/theglowinggreenorb]

Listing all the games you can play from the series in visual format with no Twilight Princess made my eye fucking twitch

[u/SarcasticGamer]

They added a jump button? Nintendo you did it again!

[u/Timebear17]

Adult link looks much better

[u/Busy-Ant-2921]

THEY HIRED THE MAN

[u/Small-Review-3527]

Better controls and amazing graphics. For me this is all that was needed.  This will be just as special as when I played the original as a kid with my brothers. As much as I'm looking forward to GTA, it won't hit me as emotionally hard as this game.  This is a masterpiece and for newer generations to play it, maybe they will see why it was so loved and why it is the highest rated game of all time. 

[u/overdev]

Looks really good, Im Not a Fan of links character Design tho, Looks a little Bit creepy and uncanny

[u/Otherwise_Edge8798]

Seeing a Zelda game in such high fidelity was so weird at first but I think it looks good. The American accents are taking me out though

[u/dalehitchy]

I have mixed feelings. My honest opinion

When they first saw the game play reveal today I thought the graphics look very 'unreal engine' / AI generated. As it went on, it looked much better, but that was my first opinion.

I'm kinda disappointed that it's a 1:1 remake. I wanted a fairly faithful adaption with some things changed up, like the hyrule field and the castle.

I'm still excited to play it and will definitely get it at launch but my excited has gone from 11/10 to 8/10

[u/tatsumakisempukyaku]

Now here is a trailer, for a game you just saw 30min of.

[u/reddfawks]

At first I thought "Why a new OoT? It's fine as it is."

But now I think... GOD I wanna see the reimagined Shadow Temple/Bottom of the Well as long as its not toned-down.

[u/Kirby737]

Oh fuck I've been focusing on the Direct tomorrow and forgot about the one today lol

[u/Timebear17]

This looks fucking incredible ngl. Link's face is going to take some getting used to

[u/Timebear17]

They got Matt Mercer on Gannon again lmao

[u/werkwerk_]

Wasn’t sure at first, but that trailer cooked

[u/ACuriousDisease]

Kid Zelda's face looks awful. The game looks great. The wet shader is way, way too high.

[u/makersfark]

I'd say it looks good and bad? Like, the character designs look pretty faithful to the original but the graphics went too hyper-realistic for the content. It's uncanny valley weird seeing a cartoon with orange-peel skin with wet reflections and stuff. It looks like they poured oil over everything.

[u/Spleenseer → u/makersfark]

I really dislike how child Zelda looks.  I can't put my finger on it, but something about her appearance is immensely unappealing.  It was jarring when she was revealed.

[u/Librainiac223]

Oh im so insanely excited for the OoT remake, i was giggling and kicking my feet through the whole presentation

[u/CtrlShiftMake]

It looks good, but not great; everything looks way too detailed, like they had some "HD filter" and cranked it to the max resulting in way too much contrast and everthing looking wet. Needs to be dialed back a tad.

[u/Iris_Mobile → u/CtrlShiftMake]

It really does look like one of those fan trailers for a remake done in unreal engine. There's just this "overdone" quality with the shininess and contrast. I think a style closer to BOtW would have been more fitting.

[u/DeepFuckingKoopa]

It’d be sick if they announced they were remastering MM at the same time as OOT

[u/esaul17 → u/DeepFuckingKoopa]

Screw a remaster I want a full remake.

[u/Scary-Training-1353]

I don’t wanna see a single damn warriors game in the direct

[u/Stormflier]

This feels like a "What if Zelda was on Unreal Engine" videos. I think thats whats putting people off. The unreal engineness of it. We're just not used to that in a Nintendo game.

[u/djdiphenhydramine]

I'm so excited for this, and Ocarina isn't even close to being my favorite Zelda. It looks so gorgeous and so fun.

I'm really sad we didn't get any mention of Wind Waker HD or Twilight Princess HD though. I was so hoping for a Mario 35th type physical release. I don't feel like it's too much to ask, I really don't.

[u/DoobaDoobaDooba]

It honestly looks amazing!

Faithful but fresh without breaching the integrity of what made the original game great. Seems like they were delicate and restrained with what they've chosen to add new in the game and focused more on really polishing the original experience, which I think will end up being the right call.

It was always going to be a nearly impossible task to translate the N64 graphics to modern visuals but I think they've done a great job - really stylized!

[u/AcTough5653]

Why are people always so negative because it doesn't match their way too specific preferences. This looks amazing and I'm really excited for it.

[u/KML42069]

Looks great. New way to play one of the greatest games of all time. If you didn't like it… you still have the old one. Wouldn’t mind Majora’s Mask in this style next.

[u/tuftyz3bra]

Anyone saying “Unreal Engine fan game” or “ugly” or any other memes of this is honestly just a hater. Nintendo will never do anything to make those people happy, so be default their opinions are meaningless. People wanted a remake for years and they are finally delivering and all I see at the end of the stream is “rip twilight princess” like come on people. Real Nintendo and Zelda fans are more than happy with what they saw today.

Edit: I can tell from all these comments that the trolls are hard at work to downplay nintendo.

[u/TheStupid_Guy → u/tuftyz3bra]

People are allowed to dislike things. I like how the game looks but it’s definitely not for everybody

[u/Yin15 → u/TheStupid_Guy]

People are not allowed to dislike things that I like! Nintendo is love, Nintendo is life!

[u/Bongs_Berny → u/tuftyz3bra]

It's not being a hater to be TIRED of all games looking the same nowadays, the unreal engine/dlss5 criticism are well suited

The game loses a lot of it's atmosphere for me, even compared to the 3DS remaster that was executed extremely well

[u/Linuky → u/tuftyz3bra]

If you say so.
I love Zelda and I will definitely play OoT HD, but I’m not a fan of this art direction and most certainly not a fan of the Unreal Engine aesthetic. Everything looks so shiny, like porcelain or clay. It’s irritating.

Wasn’t a fan of Wind Wakers art style at first, but it grew on me while playing. Maybe it’s the same here.

If that makes me not a real fan and hater, so be it.

[u/J2289]

Map the iron boots so I only have to press a single button instead of going into the menu every time and I’ll be set.

[u/supaikuakuma]

Wish I knew why they refuse to port Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD to Switch/Switch 2.

[u/thenatural134]

Man OoT was such a huge part of my childhood. One of the best stories in a video game ever. Tried playing it on a N64 emulator the other day and I forgot how brutal the gameplay mechanisms are. The worst part being the poor camera control. I'm excited for an updated version with modern graphics and gameplay.

[u/justicefinder]

The remake looks so good

[u/jp2v]

Can't wait to experience this with enhanced controls, graphics and music. My only gripes are that Young Link looks like my kid's Labubu doll and if I have to hear Navi's 'listen' a thousand times, then I would like to have the option of the original soundbite.

[u/UltraNoahXV]

Not a nintendo person but I hope this direct has everything you've been waiting/hoping/looking for

[u/Mrkaoz]

Gotta get used to Link’s new face. But overall looks very good so far. Love it.

[u/MaterialPace8831]

This looks fantastic. I'm really excited for this.

[u/Mir3y]

That looked really really good. Super psyched for the game!

[u/Hammerheadshark55]

GTA VI and OOT in the same months is basically the iconic guns and ball game vs the iconic swords and potions game

[u/SK_GAMING_FAN]

Why everyone is so oily 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Knudson95]

Releases on my birthday I think thats a sign I must get a switch

[u/El_Toolio_Grande]

They said they had multiple initiatives going forward with the Zelda franchise, I wish they had shown more than 1 thing. I guess they don't want to detract from the Ocarina remake, but at least some idea would have been nice.

[u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

10 minutes orchestra, 10 minutes film, 10 minutes new amibo, 30 seconds teaser for OoT remake release date

[u/DrDennisMcNinja]

This game is for me. I never had a N64, and when I tried to play OoT -- I just couldn't get past how it looked.

[u/rixukiri]

I'm sorry, but this looks almost exactly like the unreal engine 5 fan project that was made like a year ago and I don't know how to feel about that

[u/Issah_Wywin]

Not sure how I feel about the art style. It's objectively a good looking game but I don't love the faces. Some things worked in the original because of the low fidelity. Bringing that forward into high definition doesn't always work.

[u/JarlofCitrine]

I’m really, really excited for the OoT remake, don’t get me wrong.

But I’m a little disappointed to see the modern UI sticking around from the Wild era games. The minimalist, airy, light weight look was amazing for those games. But Ocarina of Time’s original pause menu looking something like it was carved on giant stone tablets was so much more fitting for the grandeur and legendary story being told.

[u/Candytencandy]

Terrible Direct. I mean, not even a single minute of thumb wrestling!

(But in all seriousness, I'm super excited for OoT! I've never played any verison of it.)

[u/SmokingApple]

This art style is incredibly disappointing to me. Genuinely looks like those unreal engine videos you'd see on YouTube of ocarina of time fans made back in 2015 but obviously more polished. Links face in particular looks really fucking weird to me 

[u/TimeManagement91]

I've got three major complaints.

1. The English voice acting is still low quality (and no lip-synced animations for English is just inexcusable at this point). The game should have been fully voiced.

2. Link is over-designed, even down to the belts and buckles themselves.

3. BotW's item quick-swap UI being injected into everything with 0 changes feels like genuine trolling on Nintendo's part. The #1 thing that people complain about BotW and Nintendo just completely ignores those concerns and continue to act like nothing is wrong with it. It's a huge downgrade from dedicated item menus and I didn't see one at all in this trailer or preview.

I like the music remixes though, and the Ocarina function is a neat idea.

[u/Shipwreck_Kelly]

Looks good, but seems pretty 1:1 as far as I can tell.

[u/sendinthesounds → u/Shipwreck_Kelly]

Ohh nooo the greatest game of all time is a direct remake...

[u/treeizzle → u/sendinthesounds]

There's a Quake 3 remake dropping?

[u/ellitlan]

looks like Nintendo finally hired that man

[u/ruobrah → u/ellitlan]

imagine pokemon like this

[u/makman44]

Looks really good but it was pretty funny how they just completely ignored the 3DS remake every time they talked about improvements from the N64 version

[u/Chlorophyllmatic]

"Preorder now" okay just gimme the link

[u/SirPugsvevo]

Did wolf link poo on their bed or something. Why do they hate twilight princess so much

[u/CarneAsuuhDude]

These fuckers really are gonna get me to spend $500 for one game

[u/Myhtological]

If Nintendo can do something like this on the switch 2, Sony should be fucking terrified at how much they’re pissing us off.

[u/Top_Finding_2832]

Don't like some of the choices they made but i'll still play the shit out of this.

[u/ChronoLink99]

Do we think the cartridge itself might be gold coloured?

[u/Malt129]

My body is ready

[u/respondin2u]

I just want a new 3D Zelda game. Not a remake of an old game, a new game. I don’t care if it’s not released until 2030, that’s fine, just I want to know it’s being made and that it’s going to be awesome.

[u/scamartilhon → u/respondin2u]

But you already know it’s being made. They are always making one.

[u/IEatPandasEveryday]

Remake of the highest rated game of all time

[u/SoCalThrowAway7]

One of the reveals isn’t even Zelda specific, it’s just a restaurant that Zelda will also be in lmao

[u/PapaTinzal]

World looks incredible, Link looks a bit uncanny valley like for me

[u/DontBeAngryBeHappy]

That initial OOT remake first look is gorgeous.

[u/witerawy]

Why is the hat veiny

[u/SirPugsvevo]

Unreal engine 5 zelda

[u/ruobrah]

you’re all miserable. it looks great!

[u/houndbloke]

I absolutely hate the narrator over explaining everything that's happening

[u/luckyvonstreetz]

This was incredible! Arguably the best game of all time and now it looks amazing too! So hyped to play it again after all this time! Sadly though, no new games announced.

[u/bevan182]

I can't have been the only one whose eyes were darting around that overview looking for Twilight Princess

[u/niles_deerqueer]

I think it looks phenomenal and I can’t wait to play the entire journey, super excited they added new dialogue and little changes here and there.

[u/21-savage-the-1]

Haven’t seen the whole thing yet but besides kid Links face the artstyle looks really good and prefer it over botk & totk.

I think it does a much better job than 65% of old game remakes do, with adding modern lighting tech and a more realistic look, while still keeping that cartoony-ness/atmosphere.

[u/batedcobraa]

Curious to see if they'll include Master Quest in the game as a sort of new game plus, if it will be DLC, or if it's coming at all.

[u/cheezman22]

Im not sure why we as a society have progressed to "the game has realistic lighting, therefore it is slop" do you just want to stay at PS4 era graphics and never advance or somthing ?

[u/malexj93]

I'm pumped, but I do wish they were redesigning things a bit more, especially dungeons. That trailer showed us pretty much every dungeon and major location, and it's clear that everything is where it used to be, it just looks fancier.

[u/HonkHonkMTHRFKR]

Damn.

Now I have to buy a switch 2

[u/vande361]

Forget the graphics, I’m really struck by the amount of detail in the still images I’ve seen. It is like they decided to take all the effort they put into making the world in BOTW big and focus it on making the small in this hyper detailed.

[u/UnintentionalWipe]

Hopefully we get a remastered Windwaker trilogy set with Windwaker, Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass. A new game in the cel-shaded series would be amazing.

A sequel to Echoes would be great too.

[u/mfac91]

Holy shit... this looks amazing...

I'm finally putting the ocarina I've had for 20 years to good use. And my wife is going to hate me.

I was really hoping for Twilight Princess and Wind Walker HD on Switch 2. Oh well.

[u/BlazeWolfYT]

I will be honest. The game looks good, but the characters feel a little uncanny valley. Idk, probably just me. I was absolutely blown away

[u/Satisfriedviewer]

maaan they reusing the horizontal menu selection from botw/totk, and echoes ;-;
We literally had a wheel for twilight princess and skyward sword. Why are we regressing

[u/SchmeatGripper69]

Looks absolutely incredible. I was thrown off by the new character designs and voice acting at first, but by the end of the full trailer I can say they've grown on me very quickly.

[u/Wontonbeef]

Looked really good excited to pick this up

[u/Key_Amazed]

I wish it wasn't a 1:1 remake just because it means I'll beat the game really quick. But I'm excited to see how the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple look in all their creepy glory. They really nailed the atmosphere and fairy tale feeling of the original game.

But I understand this is Reddit, so obligatory "iT lOoKs LiKe A pS2 gAmE" comments abound all over

[u/How2Face69 → u/Key_Amazed]

anyone who says it looks like a PS2 game hasn't played a PS2 since it was a current console

What a great day to forget my headphones. I won't be able to listen to it at work now and instead be a productive worker bee.... 😭

[u/Distinct-Ganache-698 → u/UnintentionalWipe]

take a 30mins shit

[u/wemakebelieve]

Quite hilarious that it looks like the "Focus, M" meme. I'm not sure there could've been any way people liked the changes, it's one of if not the most iconic games of all time after all.

[u/sankto]

Woah, I love the graphics!

[u/ThePumpkinPrince61]

This looks like those fan make remake trailers you'd see on YouTube. Like the fan made FF9 one.

[u/Meret123]

Nintendo gameplay showcases always show simple mechanics like jumping and merchants and the voiceover talks like they are revolutionary.

[u/GroundbreakingAd2709]

Insane good Graphic.

This is Switch 2 Hardware don’t forget.

[u/SirPugsvevo]

The npc faces look so weird

[u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

"Mysterious, isn't it" nah not really bro we've all played this game a gajillion times

[u/KidGold]

At the end of the day in a vacuum THIS game with the updated tech might be the best game of all time.

[u/EffortOk5339]

that was a great OOT direct! when does the 40th anniversary direct start?

[u/Skwurt_Reynolds]

My kids are gonna love this.

[u/tripstar1]

Nintendo are nostalgia drug dealers. I felt so many feelings and I want them all.
