## Summary

The *Ocarina of Time* remake on Switch 2 has revealed small visual details that are prompting players to question how they remember the 1998 game. Close-up graphics show Kokiri Forest’s fairies as fuzzy, glowing creatures rather than simple balls of light, sparking amused discussion among fans.

Other details include the royal guards’ jorts, which were apparently part of their original design, and ReDeads’ eyes hidden behind their masks. The remake launched last week and has already drawn attention from players, dataminers and speedrunners examining its updated visuals and gameplay.
