Ten questions about the Ocarina of Time remake

Nintendo’s summer Direct revealed a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo Switch 2, due later this year. The brief trailer offered little beyond a tapestry and a shot of Link asleep, so nearly everything else remains unknown.

Key open questions include how Link will look and move in-game, whether the remake will be a faithful reconstruction or a more extensive overhaul, and whether familiar moments like Jabu-Jabu will be unchanged. Observers are also wondering how Hyrule will be reimagined visually, what updates the controls and camera will receive, and how Navi’s voice and presence will be handled.

Other points of curiosity: whether the game will tie into the upcoming film, why Link appears to be wearing odd clothing in the trailer, who is developing the project, and when Nintendo will share more substantial footage. A longer Direct or focused trailer would likely answer many of these questions before the release.
