## Key points

- The reviewer prefers the 3DS version to the new remake.
- Added cutscenes did not make the story more engaging for them.
- Matt Mercer’s Ganondorf performance disrupted their immersion.

## Summary

The article shares a reviewer’s reaction to a recent remake of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*. They found it worthwhile because of the game’s legacy, but said they would choose the 3DS version if replaying it, highlighting how a remake can struggle to replace a version whose presentation better suits a player.

The reviewer liked some additions and changes to the lore, but felt that longer, voice-acted cutscenes did little to deepen the original’s thin plot. They had replayed the Nintendo 64 game earlier in the year, which may have coloured their view, and criticised Matt Mercer’s performance as Ganondorf for taking them out of the scenes.
