re: Nintendo Direct Sep 9 @ 9:00 CDT *OoT Remake November 5 Release - Video in OP*

I was telling a friend that it amazes me that they revamped so much, the visuals are so advanced and unique, yet every scene, monster, location they showed was definitely from OoT.

I give Nintendo a lot of crap, but I'll give them props for this. It's going to be an amazing experience.

I posted the full OoT video in the OP.

The detail in Link's hat alone is crazy.

I hope that's actually on a Switch 2 and they didn't demo it on a PC or something.

The redeads in the market after you get the master sword made 9 year old me shite my pants. If they were as detailed as this they might have put me in the grave.

There was someone here that was very much against the art design of Link when they teased it a few months ago. Whoever that was, did this reveal change your mind at all?

Guess I’m alone in thinking the visual design is atrocious. It looks like the fan-made Unreal videos from a few years ago that everyone roasted. Kid Link and Zelda faces are objectively awful.

That being said, I’ll be buying a Switch just for this. Looks to be a 1:1 gameplay remake and for a top 5 game all time, that’s enough for me

I think it looks good but it looks a little too much like every Zelda game that's released now. You take a still from the video and there's nothing that makes it stand out. You look at the original OoT and you immediately know what it is. Wish it looked a little more unique.

Yeah I'm in the camp that think it visually looks unappealing on the whole.

Everything has like a plasticy sheen to it. There's a certain charm that gets lost when you try to take something that was cartoony and make it look "real" I think you end up with the worst of both worlds. It sitll looks cartoony but now it has absolutely no warmth and actually looks more fake than before.

Also hate all the environmental effects, particularly the fog. I don't find it atmophseric I find it annoying.

Thanks for posting the link. Just pre-ordered the physical edition because I want that hologram look. Hopefully that's the one! Would be awesome if the keycard or whatever it's called is gold. I feel like a kid again.

They're saying it's "while supplies last," so in typical Nintendo fashion it will likely be based on when you made your order and you won't know for sure until it arrives. At least, that's how it worked with the Switch 2s that were bundled for about $30 cheaper vs the Switch 2s that weren't bundled and required a separate purchase of Mario Kart World. In that instance, I was actually happy I "missed out" because the bundled version had a digital code for Mario Kart World instead of a cartridge. I didn't think they were clear about that prior to the presales, but the version you got was literally based on when you placed your order.

Hopefully I get a hologram one, but honestly I'll be happy either way. I'm just glad somebody isn't crazy enough to stop doing physical releases. If I get the hologram one I'm likely to never open it and go buy another copy for playing.
