## Key points

- The remake makes Ocarina of Time feel fresh while keeping its original character.
- Visuals, controls and music have been substantially updated.
- Handheld image quality has some flaws despite smooth performance.

## Summary

Nintendo’s Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time refreshes the landmark adventure with striking visuals, modernised controls and a revamped soundtrack. The review says it makes Hyrule Field and the dungeons feel exciting again while preserving the original’s spirit, though it remains largely the same game.

The remake adds detail throughout, makes small changes to item and character locations, and gives key cutscenes voice acting. It runs smoothly at 60 frames per second, but distant scenery can shimmer and look overly smooth; handheld resolution also drops enough to make Link appear fuzzy at times. The reviewer says these flaws are noticeable but do not significantly harm the experience.
