Nintendo says the Ocarina of Time remake aimed to feel better, not just different

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake keeps the original's foundations while adding a dedicated jump button and updated controls. Producer Hidemaro Fujibayashi told GameSpot that pre-production set clear boundaries on what would and would not change, with changes focused on using Nintendo Switch 2 hardware to reduce friction. The team also upgraded the visuals to convey more information and added 5.1-channel surround sound for the background music.
