Until earlier this year, I’d not really considered what I’d want to see in a Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/a> remake. After all, the 2011 3DS version<\/a> did a pretty good job at updating the 1998 original<\/a>, and so I’d operated under the assumption that it wouldn’t be a thing again for a long, long<\/em> time.<\/p>\n

Alas, it’s real. Ocarina of Time will be “reborn” on Switch 2 later this year, with our first brief glimpse at Link suggesting the most realistic depiction of Hyrule and its residents that we’ve seen so far.<\/p>\n

It’s still too early to determine just how faithful the remake will be to the original. Will this be a 1:1 recreation like Star Fox<\/a>, or should we be prepared for something more radical like Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/a> or Resident Evil 2<\/a>? Either way, beyond the obvious audio-visual improvements, there are a small handful of things from Ocarina of Time that I feel need updating for the remake, and one very specific thing that should be kept exactly<\/em> as it is.<\/p>\n

So let’s go through them together…<\/p>\n
