Nintendo has remade The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Switch 2, according to a review published by The Verge. The original launched on the N64 in 1998.
The reviewer says the remake keeps the story unchanged. Players control Link, who must stop Ganondorf from taking over Hyrule, using songs played on a magical ocarina. The reviewer describes the game's dungeons, which require clever puzzle-solving with the ocarina and other items, as a core strength of the original that carries over.
The most visible change is the graphics. The reviewer writes that the blocky N64-era visuals have been replaced with a style that blends fantasy art and realism. Characters are rendered in a look the reviewer compares to puppets and stage shows. The reviewer says the approach mostly works, though some areas are frustratingly dark.
The reviewer also highlights gameplay changes. These include free camera control with the right stick, the ability to jump at any time, quick item equipping with the D-pad, and a "threads of time" tool that tracks quests.
