'Hey! Listen!' Zelda Classic 'Ocarina of Time' Is Back
- For the 40th anniversary of the Zelda series, Nintendo released a remake of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for the Nintendo Switch 2, priced at $70.
- Nintendo opted for a faithful, 1:1 remake rather than a reimagining, preserving the original's structure while updating graphics and animations for modern hardware.
- Gameplay updates include refined combat with a dedicated jump button and faster item access; the Switch 2 microphone lets players perform melodies, while cutscenes are now fully voiced.
- Critics have praised the remake, awarding it a 96 on Metacritic, positioning the title as one of the highest-rated games on the platform.
- Despite strong reviews, some players noted narrative issues in the final part and pointed to limited save slots—only one manual slot alongside five automatic overwrites.
