Hi. Nothing. Thanks.

You got it!

No games besides the OoT remake, it does look nice tho ngl.

I really do dislike the VA here. I think, at least the English shown, it all sounds like absolute dogshit, haha. I wonder if there will be a way to play the Japanese audio at launch.

No complaints on the models of Link or anything, but I'm a bit mixed on the 'geographical' graphics, but I think once I play I'll get used to it.

Not jumping automatically will honestly really mess with the muscle memory here. No lie, I'll also probably do the humming of songs feature for the ocarina because anything other than the c-button/a button combo on the N64 controller is really hard for me to get used to.

Overall, cautiously optimistic, but I'm still hesitant that I'd play this version more than a couple of times before going back to N64.

They hired that man.

Can't wait for Ocarina but I really hope they do a Majora's Mask remake.

So many overreaction comments on YT, it's basically looks like the UE versions that the guy has been making for years.
Adding a Jump button and rotating the camera with an analog...yah! (Sarcasm)

Honestly not impressed, but it's decent though! Already completed this game, numerous times, better graphics isn't going to get me to play it again.

The English Voice over guy was hot garbage, and talked to the audience, like everyone was in preschool....WTF!

Nintendo is either out of touch, and really never took the time to learn who their real target audience is, most of the people, who were looking forward to this are adults that played it as kids on N64.

Still not a system seller, and look at all the copy and paste bot comments...Pre-Order when? If they don't stfu...

Not a bad remake, but extremely boring presentation. - And sitting through 30 mins of unnecessary ads for other games and DLC b.s. was trash too.

P.S. They didn't even have the decency to add voices to the characters, they said we added more dialogue to the characters for more personality...and I'm like they still have no voices, how is that personality?

Hello, i did not watched the Direct because I don't want any spoil not even a single image.
But can you tell me if there was others announcements? Other Zelda games?

I don't blame the VO guy, he's just doing his job- doing an English voice fer what everyone was saying in Japanese. I do agree with the preschool vibe though.

That aside, very excited, this looks amazing and will be playing it with my dad. The English dub voices fer the characters is an amazing surprise as well. Pokemon- TAKE NOTES!

cant blame them, it does look like that...

the english vo was, once again, the worst one out of the ones ive watched so far.
not a fan of the faces, whats with the wide noses? zelda especially looked weird

retrospect · 2026-09-08T16:07:34+0100

Well it aired, and it looks like a disappointing 1:1 remake with graphics from Fable.

JuanMena · 2026-09-08T16:08:21+0100

Glad I'm not the only one.

Amazing.

But still hold my opinion towards murican dub... it makes it sound like a parody.

This could've been a little better without the stupid ass murican dub.

erikas · 2026-09-08T16:10:07+0100

I was hoping they would announce wind waker and twilight princess HD for the switch or at least switch 2. guess they are keeping those as releases for 2028 and 2030 probably, or maybe they will do full remakes of them too? Honestly im a bit disappointed we didn't even get one shot of the movie.

DbGt · 2026-09-08T16:10:25+0100

GOTY. Looks amazing

OOT Remake > GTA 6

No other games just an app

sevenisseven · 2026-09-08T16:24:09+0100

very clearly something they threw together in a year to appeal to the same breed of man-children they've been chasing after for the last decade and a half now. what the fuck was the point of adding a jump button and a "quick equip?" couldn't be bothered to modify the engine to handle TP controls?

Jaxmc · 2026-09-08T16:28:53+0100

The one thing that applaud the most out of this is that Nintendo at least got the balls to launch it in the same month of GTA6, i could not care any less about that game but people and the industry acts like its the second coming of Jesus and shit in their pants when thinking on releasing a game near of it

anhminh · 2026-09-08T16:30:08+0100

This just OoT again. With all that money and developer, they can't add a single new map in. The tiny Hyrue make me sad to look at. It was fine on N64 but it look patheticly small now.

Hadrian · 2026-09-08T16:35:17+0100

This remake looks great! Sure Link looks like a figure you great granny would have with other ornaments if pixies, elves etc but jeebus that attention to detail in everything.
