Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Zelda Notes could add a playful layer to the remake: photo hunts and quizzes offer extra reasons to explore, while sharing tunes gives players a way to engage with friends. For players who enjoy companion apps and optional challenges, it may extend the adventure without changing the core game.
The case against
Because none of the app’s features is essential, players may prefer to experience the game without a phone alongside them. Checking maps, statistics or quizzes in a separate app could interrupt play, and those who value a self-contained game may see little reason to use it.
Explained simply
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is an adventure game in which players explore a fantasy world, solve puzzles and play an ocarina to trigger musical effects. Nintendo’s Switch 2 remake is a new version of the game for its latest console.
Zelda Notes is a companion app for mobile phones, made by Nintendo to use alongside the remake. Its features include photo-based quests, maps, game statistics and ways to create and share ocarina tunes.
The poll is about whether players plan to use these optional app features. They add activities around the game, while the story says they are not needed to complete it.
