The world, in perspective.

In 4 dagen tijd heeft Nintendo al meer dan 5,2 miljoen exemplaren van 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' verkocht.

I Think You Should Link (we really t

For fantasy nerds, it's hard to top The Legend of Zelda video game series and Lord of the Rings film trilogy. If that's you, like it is me, then X user Seven will probably give you goosebumps with his cover of "Concerning Hobbits" in-game with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time . Watching young Link recreate the iconic song from The Fellowship of the Ring

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a stellar remake of a beloved classic , so it only makes sense that it would have somewhat of a halo effect.

As a result, I've been

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is very faithful, but it also takes some liberties and notable updates. From our wide-ranging interview with producers Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi , it sounds like this was something of a training ground for younger staffers to understand the world and dungeon design of a classic Zelda format,

Since its launch last year, the Switch 2 has proven itself to be a portable powerhouse, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake may just be the best game to show off its capabilities.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of Nintendo's most revered games of all time, even by the lofty standards of a company known for making influential, groundbreaking video games.

Every The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time player remembers their first encounter with the ReDeads. The shambling zombie-like enemies occupy Hyrule Castle Town when you emerge from the Temple of Time and immediately freak you out, with a sudden piercing scream that freezes you in place.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 is a mostly faithful remake, but it does introduce some new features and bells and whistles that modernize the experience.

Geschraubt wurde an den richtigen Stellen und das Spieldesign funktioniert tatsächlich heute noch

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite Zelda stories--the type of story that truly feels like it encapsulates the "legend" name. It's full of broad moments of heroism and lore that feel as if they could be the stuff of an oral history of Hyrule. It is also, weirdly, very funny. The contrast between Link's heroic journey and the goofball s
