if i had a dollar for every time i heard someone say "dont change too much , maybe just add a few more things here..." blah blah blah

guys...nostalgia is kicking everyones arse. OOT is my fav game too but gaming has changed so much in the past 25 years that even attempting a 1:1 remake would be stupid, a waste of Switch 2 horsepower/potential, and bad for Nintendo as a brand

you can't just "add a few more things" and think that will hold up in 2026 lol

Everyones always like "oh but dont turn it into BOTW blah blah"

NOT ME. i say TURN THAT SH|T INTO BREATH. hell, make it even bigger. Hate to break it to you guys but BOTW and TOTK set a new standard for Zelda...its gonna be hard to go back to being smaller than that.

"Oh but theres not enough OOT content for a map that big"... cool, add sh|t. embellish this amazing legendary Universe man. Build on the foundation thats already there, then add more stuff to build on top of that. make everything bigger + and use the added content to fill in the gaps/ lore.

I want this shit to look unrecognizable in every way, honestly. i want controls to be updated/changed, updated (botw) physics, i want Link to have bad ass swordplay moves instead of his vanilla 3 slash, spin boring combo

If you are dropping this game holiday season, as the title that goes up against GTA 6 for petes sake, you dont have the luxury to be scaling back in any capacity as some would suggest. you have to scale up

This is your only chance to remake the best game of all time , nintendo. this has to be larger than life...or dare i say, larger (or at least on par) than botw. there is no 1:1. This aint Starfox brother.. There are no hardware limitations. no story limitations, no time constraints. you have to swing for if the fences here.

luv u guys

I bought a switch 1 cartridge and have the switch 2 upgtade for the game. I’m having these audio issues does anyone know how to fix this?

Truthfully I’m not that into Zelda, however I do love the music and have always admired the soundtracks. That said I do need help finding what I think is a Zelda song that was used in a video I watched.

Video in question

The attached video at 20:29 is where the song plays, can’t find it. Every time I Shazam it some shitty unavailable remix pops up and no matter how much I dig I can’t find which song the artist sampled.

If you know the song please tell me I’ve been dying to listen to it without the videos commentary.

Also I don’t know if it’s actually from tears of kingdom or a Zelda song at all im just assuming because I can’t find anything about it.

***NOTE:** This is not officially confirmed but heavily supported by Twilight Princess that Link ended up marrying Malon in the Child Timeline. However, it is confirmed that the Hero's Shade is indeed OoT Link and the ancestor of TP Link. **Also, I am talking about Ocarina of Time Link specifically, not Link in general.***

In case your thinking "Link must've married Zelda, plain and simple", I like to point out that while it's a popular and very common ship, it's not entirely impossible but it wouldn't make sense, otherwise TP Link would've been royalty to begin with. Princess Zelda is royalty. Malon is a farm girl. Also, I am well aware that Minamoto did say that it would be great that Princess Zelda was Link's girlfriend, but this is not necessarily confirmation for the story and that was before Twilight Princess entered the picture.

I would also like to rule out some other possible candidates besides Zelda for some specific reasons:

*Saria is close childhood friends with Link and I think that's sweet, plus she seem to really like him. However, the biggest is issue is that Link is Hylian and Saria is Kokiri. Kokiri never reaches physical adulthood and they are created by the Great Deku Tree.

*Ruto likes Link and decides that he shall be her husband. However, not only this is one-sided and he only took the Zora's Sapphire from her because he needed it to save Hyrule, she's a Zora, an aquatic humanoid. Otherwise, TP Link would've been half-Zora.

So the internet isn't giving me a straight answer. Some places say peach, but i see straight up Daisy

Let me know if there’s another song yall want me to play (I know quite a few). Enjoy!

I feel like it would avoid the BOTW comparison simply because you’re playing the same world. If they changed the map it would be treated as a completely different and better game.

The announcement of the OOT remake has motivated me to draw the scenes again! Third slide was my first OOT piece when they met. I wanted to parallel the scene with the farewell scene 💕

I already defeated two beasts and have a decent amount of hours in the game, but have only five clothes, is that right? Does the game had that few armor or I'm missing something?

Hi! I have a switch 2 and im looking to get into one of the games, I hear a lot of discussion about how one of the games makes the other look worse and vice versa and I know they both have their pros and cons but for someone who kinda knows nothing about both games which would you recommend? thank you!!

Hello there! Recently I have been playing ToTK and I'm very invested in the lore of the game and the universe. Sadly, I didn't have the opportunity to play most of the other games so I'm a bit confused with two of the timelines.

Timeline number one in which Link is defeated I understand. Problem comes from tl2 and tl3.

So, TL2 is the one that happens in game in OoT: Link defeats Ganondorf and Zelda sends Link back to the past with his memories intact, which makes him able to alert child Zelda about what is about to happen, Ganondorf is stopped way before he was in the game itself and so Link the hero never actually appears (because he didn't have to). Child Link then goes looking for Navi and the rest is history.

In TL3 Zelda sends Link back without his memories? I'm assuming this last part but I'm guessing it's what happens because otherwise what would be the difference with TL2? And if Link doesn't indeed have his memories, wouldn't the events of the game come to pass nonetheless? He doesn't remember anything so he has his nightmares, is sent to look for Zelda and the game repeats itself.

What am I missing or misunderstanding here? And thanks!

ETA: thanks everyone for the explanations! I get the timelines being a bit wonky is part of the process so I'll just play the games and enjoy without worrying too much about it ^{^}

Working on my gbc style pixel art. Decided to create a picture of our favorite grandpa tree.

Imagine this scenario: TotK comes out, with a lame story, Zelda gets kidnapped or whatever. There are new abilities but they are just dumb stuff, like setting stuff on fire, or getting a hookshot, idk. HOWEVER, the map is completely new. Not bigger, not better, but completely new locations, new landmarks, new enemies, new characters. Would it be a better game, and why?

In my opinion yeah, it would be a better game. It seems obvious that an exploration focused game requires the place you're exploring to be unknown.

I'm making this post because we're at the hating TotK stage in the Zelda cycle apparently, but I don't see this choice the devs made being given it's due blame to how the game turned out in the end.

This topic is probably very stale by now, sorry

Welcome to the Hyrule workforce! 🏰 Are you happy with your new job?

for context, I've played through TotK, really enjoyed it. 210 hours. Trying to get into Botw now. Anyway, I'm thinking of picking up Skyward Sword for the Switch 1. I know it's a lot more linear and less open-world, but I do really like story-focused games, and felt like TotK's story was lacking in many areas. I've also been wanting to get into more traditional zelda games. Should I?
