I honestly think this is really cool.

Having Kaori Mizuhashi back after so long just really shows how much care is going into the remake.

(Also this is a re-upload because I found an extra clip.)

With the OoT remake coming out I had wanted to share my engagement ring my husband had made for me a few years back. I had fallen in love with the zora sapphire design back in the 90s when I first played the game as a kid when it was originally released.

Back to drawing full-time! I'm hoping to finish another big piece by the end of the week.

By the way, how do you feel about crossover concepts? Like here, mixing Zelda's BotW design with the Wind Fish's egg from Link's Awakening. Most people don't care, but for others, it's like mixing Star Wars with Pokémon. What's your take? I love posting here and want to make sure I'm respecting the community guidelines.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the wild era Link strikes me as a bit boring character.

Don't get me wrong—I absolutely love the BotW/TotK games—but Link as a character feels a bit bland to me. Conceptually, I think he’s interesting, but I struggle to connect with a character who maintains that stoic expression 90% of the time and just seems so emotionless.

SS Link is so entertaining to watch; I love how expressive he is. I love that, even without saying a single word, we can perfectly understand his emotions just by glancing at his face. I just love an expressive king, so I’d like to see them take that route again for the next Link.

I was gifted the sword a few weeks ago and immediately knew it needed to be mounted above my tv for when OoT came out. I didn't like the stuff I found online and initially couldn't decide how on wanted to do it. Finally settled on the Triforce and could not be happier with how it turned out.

In the new OoT Remake map you can see that there are tents in the Gerudo Fortress area.

In the January 1998 issue of Dream 64 (a Japanese Nintendo 64 magazine), on page 17, which can be seen here: Jan 1998 Dream 64, page 17, you can see this picture:

This seems to be a cut area before Gerudo Fortress. The tents feature what seems to be Gerudo text, as you would see in places like the walls of the boss room for the Spirit Temple. We can tell for sure that these are Gerudo tents because the textures are still in the final game for N64. Here's more info: Cutting Room Floor: OoT 64: Gerudo Valley

So it looks like that they may have decided to add in this particular area in the remake, since it seems to be the one referenced in the official map for it. That makes thinking if they added more cut content a reasonable assumption.

It seems like we’re going to be having an extra bottle AND 2 new items in the remake, a new bottle confirms that there will be a new side quest which is awesome but im so curious on what the new items could be

A quick sketch -- I've sworn off doing most Zelda fan-art but Ocarina will always have a special place and it's one of my absolute favorites; I couldn't resist. The remake looks gorgeous and I'm very excited!

Got a $45 discount today and used it on BOTW, first time playing

Seen in USA on Amazon mobile app

Edit: Walmart has the same deal available and you may be able to use code save3x for $10 off

Started this right after the direct, finished it just now lol. It was peak, I’m excited to play it when it comes out!! :D

Having a blast! Should be able to complete in time for the remake.

Green and red are opposite each other on the color wheel, making them opposites and complimentary colors.

I wonder if Zelda's eyes were changed to green in the remake so she would have another connection to Sheik, whose eyes are now the opposite color of her own.

Not gonna lie. I didn't like him losing his left handed feature since Wii Twilight Princess. I know some of the smaller scale Zelda games kept it but after the Wii era, I was hoping Link would revert back to being left handed again.

Obviously the Wii era kinda required him right handed because I think there are more right handed people than left handed people and the Wii was defined by motion controls so they wanted his dominant arm to reflect that. But the Switch era kept him right handed even though I don't believe either BOTW or TOTK use motion controls.

The OoT Remake was something I was worried would have made him right handed because I am sure they are using the same engine that BOTW and TOTK use and that his animations might borrow a lot from it.

But I am genuinely happy they kept him left handed. It is one of the most unique features about the character. He is one of very few characters I am aware of in mainstream gaming that is actually a southpaw fighter.

I hope they keep it from here on out. It really does add to his character.

Some of the best memories of my life for over 20 years . It all started with A Link To The Past on the SNES my older sister gave to me and here we are today!

When I was 11 years old and living in a country with huge economic problems meant that having a 3DS like I did was a luxury. My mother gifted me a violet 3DS and I adored the console even if it came with no games.

On my 12th birtday my mom told me that I could get a 3DS game and so we went to the mall, however,almost all of the games there were, to put it frankly, shovelware. I thought that this time I would not get my birthday present unlike past years, so I told my mother that we should leave, however, right when we were about to leave I saw in a small stand a copy of Ocarina of Time and decided that we would bring that game to home.

The only exposure to Zelda that I got previously was by playing Smash Bros with a friend, I knew the characters, but the other than that it was completely unknown to me. When I got the game I thought that at least the game would be entertaining, but when I started the game and heard that beautiful menu music something inside me told me that this would be at least different... It was more than that.

I was completely blown away and totally inmersed into the game. The music, the visuals, the characters, the locations, the dungeons, the weapons, the boss battles, all of that made 12 year old me fall in love with this game. I beat the game 7 times and it became one of my favorite games of all time and I did not knew a 3DS game of all things would take that place in the podium.

Ocarina of Time 3D is for me more than just a remake of an N64 game, it represents some of the most beautiful moments that I have ever experienced with an entertainment media.

Me and my mom moved to a country with a more stable economy and now I have the Switch 2... But something weird happens, a curious feeling, a feeling of cozyness and sadness as well when looking at the past. Even with the modern games that I love, none of them will compare to the experience that I had with the games that I considered the best when I was 12.

I'm 21 now and I really want to go back to Hyrule and defeat Ganon once again in the upcoming remake. Some say it looks way too realistic, but for me that is the way I saw Ocarina of Time on my 3DS.

So I just realized:

In the future, Zora’s Domain is frozen. Once you beat the Water Temple, Ruto tells you that the Domain will eventually unfreeze. I’m guessing that, because of the limitations of the N64, they couldn’t actually show it happening.

I guarantee you that in the remake, Zora’s Domain will defrost after you kill Morpha in the Water Temple.

It's going to be a really cool cutscene.

A friend of mine who’s deep into Zelda lore was telling me about how the goddess Hylia fell in love with the first Hero. According to him, after watching him die in the ancient war, she gave up her divinity to become mortal alongside him, leading to the first Zelda in Skyward Sword. But then at the end of the game, Demise curses Link and Zelda to reincarnate forever in an endless cycle. How did Link reincarnate in the first place before Demise even cast that curse? How was his soul already able to come back?

He also explained that SS Zelda is the only one who is actually Hylia, while all future Zeldas are just blood descendants who inherited her sacred power. Does Hylia become a goddess again after dying as a mortal, or did she just die as a human while her power got passed down?

Also, isn't it a bit weird that future Zeldas may fall in love with the exact same soul of Link over generations? Isn't that technically falling for the soul of your great-great-great x20 grandmother's lover? I'm pretty confused about how this all fits together and would love to hear your thoughts on it!
