## Key points

- Aonuma says he is nervous about the remake’s reception.
- The 1996 original is considered a landmark game.
- The preview has received over 1.8 million YouTube views.

## Summary

Eiji Aonuma says he is nervous about releasing Nintendo’s remake of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*, due out next week. The project carries particular weight because the 1996 original is widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever made, and remaking it means revisiting a landmark rather than creating a new entry.

Aonuma told AFP at an event in Paris that he cannot stop thinking about how the remake will be received. It was his first project with Shigeru Miyamoto, and some members of the remake team had never played the original, which Aonuma considers beneficial. The article says the remake’s preview has drawn strong audience interest, including more than 1.8 million YouTube views, and gives its release date as 5 November.
