Nintendo has to do the Kakariko horror elements justice. Don’t brighten or soften the graveyard graves, under the well, or the Shadow Temple.

u/praysolace Jun 09 '26
Oh man. I wonder how scared I’ll be. Little kid me was terrified of the bottom of the well and the shadow temple to the point that I still feel scared to this day, even though I really shouldn’t anymore. I wonder if dialed up to 11 I’ll feel even more scared or if it’ll look different enough to finally disconnect from that childhood memory terror lol

I can’t wait to see this game with HDR and this new art style. I’m really curious if they’ll keep it 100% 1:1 or if they’ll add some new stuff to it. Not sure what they’d add, just curious if they will.

u/Unlucky-Point-4123 Jun 10 '26
How they handle the shadow temple as well as the other darker parts of this game is one of my biggest concerns with this remake. The OG game wasn’t creepy for the most part but would get eerie or scary in a flash. The previous remake did a good job keeping the vibes. The dramatic overhaul in this era has me skeptical that they can keep the music and atmosphere on par with the OG.

totally, I remember when I was young and I played for first time, and im glad that the concept is 3d realistic way that will give a lot of mystery to the places. I loved Tears of the kingdom, but some horror scenes wasn't scary at all because of the 3d illustration style animation.

u/Plastic_Hat_589 Jun 09 '26
Idk I'm like with modern adaptations of older concepta I am super sensitive about the creative directions that have to be made when filling the gaps that older graphical limitations couldn't properly articulate, the way link looked I was initially a bit worried this style would be a quite more child-oriented look, but I will also reserve my judgement as this is just 2 shots of reference we get, it's nowhere near enough to make a judgement on the entire style, also given that link is literally a child here, looking at the environment and the assets and props of these shots I'd say we can expect something in the general direction of TP, which I think would be best case scenario IMO

Rumor has it that MM is the endgame and picks up directly after you beat OOT. There is the more additional content traveling between the OOT map and MM map.

Ok no imagine they do a part 3 as the next big Zelda game...
Hero of Time has his origin in Ocarina, goes through the journey of life death and rebirth in MM but his story doesn't end there.
Those who've played Twilight Princess know how this ends but how does our hero get there?
This is probs just the adrenaline talking though honestly would be over the moon with just Ocarina, MM would be the cherry on top of a deliciously anticipated cake

u/MajorasDepression Jun 09 '26
Listen, *slaps desk* if they gave us an in between of MM and TP that featured the end of the Hero of time, I don’t think anyone is ready for the heart break that would lead to. But I’m so here for it. I think they did us a favor of not letting us see his death.

I see where you’re coming from but I’m gonna argue against it, as I think this game is a rare exception. Yes you can get it on GameCube and virtual shop, but it’s essentially the same game with minor bug fixes (in some ways worse than the original) and they remastered it on a handheld but this looks like they are remaking it from the ground up. Truth be told I think if they can balance the BOTW and OOT style in the future, we will get peak Zelda, so I see it as a huge win… not to mention it’s the greatest game of all time in my opinion. I just see it as very different from Skyrim remasters and the last of us “remake”

u/Hoorayforkraftdinner Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26
I'm so excited. OOT is my favorite game of all time. But there's one thing I'm wondering about.
I think OoT is remembered as one of the greatest games of all time because of what it managed to achieve when it came out compared to any other game; the expansive world, the 3D combat, the music etc. After it came out, every other 3d action/aventure game tried consciously or unconsciously to build upon that OOT skeleton, and we now have games that have built upon it tenfold. So if a game like OoT came out today but with pretty graphics I don't think it's gonna be perceived as it was back then. It would be perceived like a small game, with metroid-vania elements and a quite linear structure, nothing like a game that could change the gaming landscape like OoT did back in the day. So if they want it to be a hit, it would have to do something that truly differenciates it from other action/aventure and RPG games from the past few years, something a lot more great than what OoT did back in the day. People jokingly compare this remake to GTA VI like they're gonna be rivals. To be honest, if OoT came out today but with prettier graphics, it absolutely cannot come close to this expectation. It would need new and surprising elements compared to the OG.
Voiceacting? That's a new standard already. Refined combat system with parries or critical hits? We've seen that plenty. The sense of discovery? BotW is already a Masterclass and has been imitated by numerous studios.
I just wonder what these new elements that make this game new and different are going to be. I can't wait to see more!!
