The only thing that I am interested in is KH4, and that's because I am in too deep
I got burned out after Birth by Sleep. (Played through 1, CoM, 2, and BbS.) I didn't play the 358/2 Days, but that one seemed interesting. I thought 3 was supposed to be the conclusion (Like Metal Gear Solid 4, yeah?), but sure enough, KH4 was announced in 2022.

Protip: If you play 1, CoM, and 2, you have a complete (enough) arc that you can walk away from. Going beyond that point is to enter... the minus world.

I think I've asked this before, but does KH3 cinch things up at all?
 
I read this and all I can think is, What a bunch of whinging

- This direct was one of the greatest directs ever, Although First Party was definitely lacking
- Paid Upgrades are not a new thing, And Nintendo isnt even the first to do it
- No?
- Yeah no shit, Nobody is expecting games to run and look like they do on the PS5 Pro or PC at Maximum Graphics, Its a fuckin half an inch thick tablet
- While I'm not excited for an OoT Remake, Its still kinda a big deal

Kingdom Hearts 4 for Switch 2 is a Crazy Reveal
And most of the Third Party Ports are Crazy Gets as well
You said a lot of nothing, just so you can say someone is whining! lol (Next time spell it right)

The point is, we have people that will accept anything Nintendo releases, or says!
This direct was disrespectful period, and any Nintendo fan who can't see that is either using blind loyalty or literally Stevie Wonder blind, and can't see through the cloud of b.s. they keeping pulling.

The New Business Nintendo doesn't care about their fans, the old Nintendo is gone, but you eluded to where I stated that!

Regardless of the 3rd party announcements of old games, that is nothing to get excited about, when people have played those games over 3 to 6 years ago. Almost full generations before, and the new ones like Kingdom Hearts IV was announced years ago, it's 3rd party Square, of course they would have made it for Switch 2, especially with them slowly porting the rest of the series.

It's business and it's additional income.

And stop always saying the paid DLC crap everyone does it, non-sense!

Most DLC has actual value, Nintendo is making people pay for actual patches, just like they did Pokemon ZA where the files were already on the original disc and people paid $20 to $30 to unlock a 13kb file to unlock it - Again! Disrespectful

The b.s. upgrades they keep talking about with fps and 4K resolution, should not cost their fans anything.
Sony and Microsoft does these upgrades for free!
Sony charges for game upgrades, meaning if you have the original, you pay maximum of $10 for the Remakes or Remasters, which actually look like upgrades, with actual textures, graphics, gameplay fixed and additional levels. $10 freak'n dollars.

Not one so called upgrade for Nintendo has done anything of that! Again someone doesn't value their hard earned money to keep overlooking the obvious and paying the dipshit's to give you nothing, and giving you what should be a free patch, that is super disrespectful.

These directs continue to show us, Nintendo is out of touch and still living in the past on who their audience is anymore, and it shows on how they present stuff, and how they release content now.

They live in the past without the same team or people who made that past so great!

Who had passion about the games and content that was presented.

This was a mediocre business direct of crap, after crap, 100% of the people watching wanted to see the new Zelda and they gave us a 6 to 10 second glimpse of absolutely nothing!-

When will fans say enough is enough and stop pushing money in their bank accounts, so they can truly see the frustration and anger people should be feeling for them, instead of blind acceptance of any and everything?
 
I think a friend helped me, plus I had a guide book, so I don't have bad memories of it myself :)
but they did make it easier in the 3ds version, and this remake will have a reworked version too - I assume
(hopefully not too easy haha)
What was made easier exactly?
 
What was made easier exactly?
(not sure myself but) - https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Water_Temple#Themes_and_Navigation last paragraph of that section, pasted:
Eiji Aonuma apologized for the design of the Water Temple in a 2009 interview.[8] Due to the confusing layout and controls for the Nintendo 64 version of Ocarina of Time, several changes were in Ocarina of Time 3D. The Iron Boots were changed into an item rather than a piece of equipment, the dungeon received glowing markings on various walls and corridors to mark where the player must go and to make changing the water level more clear,[9][10] and an additional camera scene was added in the central tower of the dungeon to make the location of a commonly and easily missed Small Key more obvious.
