New Ocarina of Time Remake trailer and previews showcase a rebuilt Hyrule

Nintendo is rebuilding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 rather than giving the 1998 classic a simple visual refresh. The official game page promises overhauled graphics, voiced cutscenes, expanded dialogue and symphonic orchestral music, alongside jump and dash controls and modern camera movement.

A hands-on preview from The Verge found that the changes make the adventure feel more modern and welcoming to players familiar with newer Zelda games. The remake adds Threads of Time, a progression marker available from the pause menu, and Zelda Notes integration for maps and other information in Nintendo’s mobile app.

Nintendo’s overview trailer shows more of the rebuilt Hyrule and its updated characters. Tokyo Game Life also highlights the Hall of Fallen Foes, a new addition where players can inspect enemy statues and rematch bosses.
