    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake arrives on Switch 2 on 5th November. In Nintendo's Ask the Developer blog, producer Eiji Aonuma said the team added warp points he had proposed, then removed them all after playtesting showed they cut out the moments of discovery along the way. Aonuma also said remaking the 28-year-old game could give younger developers insights for future work, and art director Aya Shida described early art direction as aiming for a puppet-show feel and the analog feel of practical-effects films.
