The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake gameplay finally revealed during 40th anniversary Nintendo Direct, and it looks… interesting

Gameplay has been released for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake at long last during today's Zelda 40th anniversary Nintendo Direct.

The short version

• It'll be releasing on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the 5th November.
• The gameplay, narrated by producer Eiji Aonuma, shows what looks to be a largely faithful recreation of the original 3rd person adventure classic, albeit with some modern advancements.
• For one, Link can jump manually now, and the whole game has been brought to life in a new engine.

What happened

A lot of classic sounds and animations also appear to have been either brought over untouched, or recreated faithfully. The famous chest opening animation, for example, looks very much the same as it did all those years ago.

Why it matters

Just with that newer aesthetic applied to it.
