《时之笛》重制版11月5日登陆Switch 2

Nintendo Life published over 20 minutes of gameplay footage from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2, based on roughly two hours of hands-on time. The author notes that the ladder leading up to the Kokiri Sword was not present in the N64 original or the 3DS remake. The game launches on 5th November 2026, and spoiler-sensitive players may want to wait until then.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake adds a dedicated jump button, and the author's hands-on time suggests the change is a good one. The demo covered Kokiri Forest, the Deku Tree, Hyrule Field, Hyrule Castle Town, and part of the Forest Temple with adult Link, where jumping was mostly used for small gaps and climbing vines. The author says the button felt natural and that modern games feel lacking without one.

GameSpot's Steve Watts lists six main changes from his hands-on time with the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He says the new art style won him over quickly in motion, with characters keeping their exaggerated doll-like look and more detailed clothing textures, while Kokiri Forest and the dungeons have been visibly reworked. The version also adds full voice acting, which puts pressure on the performers to carry the original's characters.

Several outlets published hands-on previews of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, including IGN, GamesRadar, VGC, Eurogamer, GameSpot and TechRadar. IGN says the remake is more different than you think, while VGC and TechRadar describe impressions after two hours of play.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's infamous tutorial owl seemingly won't trap you in conversation in the Switch 2 remake

A VGC reporter played about two hours of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2 and found it keeps the original's core while adding new content and tweaks. Kokiri Forest gains talkative Kokiri and more rupees, Navi's hints move to speech bubbles and can be summoned on demand, and a hold-button sprint is added. Hyrule Castle Town becomes one connected area without loading transitions, the frame rate rises from the N64's 20fps to 60fps, and the game adds an always-on map, quick item swapping and three interface settings. It releases on November 5.

Eurogamer published a preview of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, arguing it is shaping up to be a brilliant remake regardless of how players feel about the art style. The full preview is on Eurogamer's site, with the link pointing to a Switch 2 version.

The author spent roughly 30 minutes playing the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and came away impressed. The remake looks impressive graphically and plays better than before, evoking nostalgia for Link's first 3D adventure while feeling modern.

Eurogamer's Lottie Lynn played the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and describes it as a ground-up rework whose visuals are rewritten rather than smoothed like the 3DS version. Auto-jumping has been removed, the jump button can be mapped to Y, and a quick item select menu from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom has been added. Dungeons also differ, with an elevator added in the Forest Temple and fewer Skullutas in Inside the Deku Tree, while Hyrule Castle Town drops its fixed camera and Hyrule Field's geography has changed.

An IGN editor played about an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and found it is not a 1:1 remake, adding expanded dialogue, revamped puzzles, and a more detailed art style. The preview covered roughly the first 90 minutes of the adventure and the Forest Temple, the first dungeon as Adult Link, running at 60 fps on Nintendo Switch 2. The piece also describes a theatrical style, with loading screens between areas framed as set changes.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake arrives on Switch 2 on 5th November, and the author spent two hours with it across Kokiri Forest, the Deku Tree, Hyrule Field, Castle Town, and the Forest Temple. The remake adopts Breath of the Wild-style controls with a jump button, adds a summonable Business Scrub seed, and removes the time limit on the Forest Temple Poe picture, while visuals and lighting are heavily reworked. Navi speaks less aloud, but new floating text boxes now appear mid-screen during exploration, which the author found undercuts the scenery.

In the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the tutorial owl Kaepora Gaebora seemingly no longer traps players in long conversations. During a 15-minute preview, Eurogamer found the owl's dialogue short and pleasant, with no mention of the map before it flew away. The remake launches on 5th November, and the owl has a new design while still offering flights from Lake Hylia.

An IGN writer played over an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2 and listed 29 changes from the N64 original. They include a starting wallet that holds 200 rupees, Skulltulas that must be struck before exposing their weak spot, a third-person Castle Town with no loading screens, a new elevator and reworked torch puzzles in the Forest Temple, and expanded dialogue and voice acting. The writer notes the game releases on November 5 and that this is not the official preview, with screenshots limited during the preview period.

Game Informer's Brian Shea played over an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, covering both Young Link and Adult Link sections. He describes it as a full remake with new visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, and additions like a jump button, sprint out of a roll, and a freely controlled camera. He also saw a new Threads of Time system that recaps the story on a tapestry and offers hints; the game launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5.

The author played three sections of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake at a demo event, covering young Link in Kokiri Forest and the Deku Tree, his departure into Hyrule Field and Hyrule Castle Town, and adult Link at the start of the Forest Temple. He says the remake largely strikes the right balance between reverence for the original and modernization, with the most striking change being its presentation, including an angular doll-like look for Link and the Kokiri children and detailed clothing that reads better in motion.

Nintendo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming soon, giving the Nintendo 64 classic a new look and quality of life features. The remake also adds two major additions that expand the gameplay experience, both of which exist outside the game itself.
