The Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Sounds Meaningfully Better Than the Original

Previewers say Nintendo’s new version of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* feels more responsive and polished than the original, suggesting the remake is designed to improve how the classic plays as well as how it looks. The article argues that Nintendo’s investment reflects the importance it places on its games’ quality and its reputation.

The original N64 game ran at about 20 frames per second, while early impressions describe the Switch 2 remake as smooth and streamlined. The article also notes that Nintendo intends to release its own games in full on physical cards, despite their higher manufacturing costs, and contrasts the remake’s apparent in-house development with earlier projects handled by external studio Grezzo.
