## Key points

- Planned warp points were removed after playtesting.
- The team wanted to preserve discoveries along the way.
- Sprinting and Epona will still make travel easier.

## Summary

Nintendo’s *Ocarina of Time* remake will not include the fast-travel points the development team initially planned to add. Producer Eiji Aonuma said he asked for shortcuts, then had them removed after playtesting suggested they took away from the discoveries players make while travelling through Hyrule.

Aonuma and producer Hidemaro Fujibayashi said exploration and unexpected detours are central to the game’s experience. The remake, due out on 5 November for Nintendo Switch 2, will still make travel easier than in the Nintendo 64 version: players can sprint with a dedicated button and find Epona at Lon Lon Ranch.
