[00:00] It's been a long time coming, but the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake is finally on the horizon and is set to release on November 5th, not too far from that other game everyone

[00:15] is talking about. Ocarina of Time remake is a complete ground up remake of the N64 classic that's widely considered one of the best games of all time, and while its new 3D art style looks vastly different when compared to recent Zelda titles, it looks gorgeous nonetheless.

[00:31] Now graphics aren't everything here, since this remake includes a ton of quality of life enhancements, like the ability to jump whenever, quickly swap between items, and use motion controls to aim, though Water Temple might not be such a slog this time.

[00:45] We're going to take a look and compare what we've seen in the remake with the original's graphics. Anyways, I've talked on long enough, let's get on with the video. The End

[01:26] Thank you.

[01:56] I think I always knew.

[02:18] He knew that you'd leave the forest behind someday. Even if that much is true, You're my friend. Forever and ever.

[02:31] Who's there? That's great stuff, kid. Come on, you're a real event. You know what? You're not half bad.

[02:54] I'm not the one. Thank you, Lord. Go down the hill.

[03:07] Now this world and the Triforce belong to me. Get out.

[03:24] The End

[03:54] Okay, let's go a bit deeper in.

[04:15] There's someone over there on the right. Even in places with gaps, you can jump. And jump again to cross them. Just like with the camera.

[04:54] Hello! There are all sorts of things for sale. It's important to be prepared for your adventure, so... Let's see... I'll buy these Deku nuts on the left. They can stun enemies.

[05:24] Sariah mentioned something earlier about the great Deku Tree.

[05:49] It must have been a good one, though. So huge!

[06:20] This area inside the great Deku tree is a dungeon.

[06:46] Okay, let's draw our sword and fight. Here we go. Take this. And that. Okay we got it

[07:22] What do you think is inside?

[07:42] We got the slingshot. Use the slingshot we got earlier and fire at it.

[08:04] Bullseye. Just like that.

[08:52] I'm sorry.

[09:22] It's a loading screen whenever you move between certain areas. This is something we intentionally kept to preserve the essence of the original game.

[09:39] And here is Hyrule Field. Located in the heart of the Kingdom of Hyrule, it serves as a gateway to many different locations.

[09:51] So, over there, you can spot a volcano called Death Mountain. By the way, if you need to know where to go, there's a new feature we recommend using.

[10:21] How How This is Hyrule Castle Town

[10:48] Hyruleans come and go through this bustling square. As you can see, there are a lot of people here. In the original game, the camera was fixed, but now you can move it freely, so you can take your time looking all around town.

[11:21] I'm not sure if I can help you.

[11:51] This tune is called Sun Song. And voila! It was evening, but now it's daytime. Mysterious, isn't it?

[12:21] so

[12:35] hey

[12:51] Thank you.

[13:21] And there you have it, the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake releases on November

[13:42] 5th on the Switch too. So will you be picking it up or is the original fine for you? the snow, and for everything Zelda, Nintendo, and gaming, stick with IGN.
