It&#8217;s since been removed (presumably it just wasn&#8217;t meant to be seen yet), but here&#8217;s what it said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The N64 classic reborn as a full remake for Nintendo Switch 2. Experience Ocarina of Time with stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, we can&#8217;t be 100% certain about this until we see more footage, but we reckon we&#8217;re in for a faithful recreation of Ocarina of Time with updated visuals, designs, and maybe a few quality-of-life improvements here and there \u2013 kind of like what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time\">3DS remake<\/a> delivered back in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>As for the gameplay, however, the word &#8220;timeless&#8221; perhaps indicates that the core experience will remain unchanged. And that&#8217;s fine with us. Though we recently went through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/features\/six-things-that-need-to-change-in-the-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake\">a handful of things<\/a> that we feel might need changing for the remake, Ocarina of Time is still a damn-near perfect experience. Why change it, right?<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully we won&#8217;t need to wait to long to find out more.
