## Key points

- Manual jumping makes familiar dungeon routes harder to navigate.
- The writer likes the remake’s more responsive movement elsewhere.
- They question whether classic Zelda needed a new jump button.

## Summary

The writer argues that adding a manual jump button to the Ocarina of Time remake makes some familiar dungeon sections awkward, because the original was designed around Link automatically jumping at ledges. The change matters because it alters a basic control choice in a remake the writer otherwise considers an exceptional overhaul.

Manual jumping makes movement through towns and the overworld feel more responsive, but the writer finds it easy to mistime jumps or roll by mistake in traditional dungeons. The article contrasts this with Breath of the Wild, whose open-world design made manual jumping a natural fit, and notes that automatic jumping remained a feature across many earlier Zelda games.
