7:34 not BS at all man, I spent a not small amount of time walking up and down the stairs near King Zora the other night. Diagonally, straight on, fast, slow, all combinations. 😅
It could be like RE 4 Remake but unfortunately I won't know! I have a switch but a switch 2 is needed. Truly gutted.
prefer the old Gerudo Valley song to be honest I was very disappointed as it really didnt seem to slap as hard.
Never played OOT have tried but my Gen Z brain can't quite handle the controls and graphics as much as I respect the game. Something about the remake still just makes me weirdly emotional, running through the lost forest with Saria's song swelling getting louder just put a shit eating grin on my face and nearly got a tear out of me.
BOTW was my first Zelda game and I only got round to playing it within the last few years but even still something about this game just hits different it strikes a cord I didn't know I had.
I think that this is one of the best looking games ever made. Nearly every frame of this game looks like a hand made painting, but is also looks beautiful in motion too.
I think all the naysayers of this game's look will be looked back like the people who talked poorly about Wind Waker.
This is the type of adult link that has been used for nintendo marketing for like years as well. You'd think such an iconic design would be used in more games besides twilight princess and ocarina (you could say skyward sword did but theres some differences
I just finished it and man what a fantastic remake
Im 48 yo dad, and this is my first time playing OoT, and it's magical!
Love just about everything about this game but the voice acting is a little too cheesy in presentation. Sounds a little too over the top anime for me. It doesn't make me hate it but also wish the voice acting was a little better. I am a xennial/late gen X and started with Zelda on NES and OOT has been my favorite Zelda till this day.
Def not resident evil 4 level sadly 🥲
Idk why people are suddenly expecting OOT to be dark souls
This game has made me tear up several times while playing it thus far. I wasn't alive for the original release, but like Jake has said, I have heard these songs throughout the game series and entries that I have played. It has been amazing hearing these classic themes in their most grand form put back into the game that they originated from.
Went to the midnight release at my local Best Buy. Got the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch and the foil cover physical copy of Ocarina of Time, but they only had 8 controllers and I didn't get one.
I never knew Jake played Metal Gear. I wonder if he's ever played The Order 1886.
As someone who has NEVER played OoT in any form, the fact that I just rolled credits on the remake and concluded that it’s in my top 5 favorite games of all time, proves that it’s not just nostalgia… the game is just THAT GOOD! The overall design and pacing of the game is straight up SUPERIOR to basically every other game that the industry has put out in a long time! I had no connection to OoT, but now, it’s my favorite Zelda game, and possibly the best gaming experience I’ve ever had! Now, if they could give us a Master Quest DLC, so I could play it all over again with a bit more bite, it would be a literal PERFECT game!
I’m gonna ask again! How’s the fishing!!?? I use to love the fishing in this game when I was a kid! I’d rent the game and play all the way to that point and fish for few hours and continue on and than come back n try to beat my biggest fish
Ocarina was my first video game ever. I remember sitting on the floor and struggling my way through it. Now for the remake I am again, sitting on the floor and looking up at the TV. It’s truly beautiful and you can tell they put so much care into it!
This is the first Zelda game I can say I enjoy without any caveats in I dunno how long. Since Link to the Past?
Now we wait for the Master Quest DLC and Major's Mask announcement. No way they aren't gonna make those.
Good call on mentioning the music, such great improvements!
Make a new category for gameranx, “Remake of the year”. Remakes/remasters are common enough. I feel like every year you would have a couple of good choices
It’s so fire bruh
Reason I bought a Switch, Zelda. Reason I bought a Switch 2, Zelda 😂 and so worth it!
The swell of the music on the title scream had me smiling ear to ear
Could you imagine if they put the blood stains on the floor in the Shadow Temple with these graphics? I don't think it would be a kid's game anymore at that point. So I can kind of see why they took it out. Lol
People are saying it's AI, scandal?
I was lucky enough to snag a limited edition Switch 2 and physical copy of the remake on Direct day and born are here now. I’m wrapping up a playthrough of Bloodborne and then jumping straight in. I cannot wait
It good PC get to experience this game, its great and everyone should play it,
Its still just reselling you an old game. Cashgrab just like every other remake ever made. Nolstagia? You meaen you havent been playing this game for years all along?
Master quest shadow drop at game awards?
What's weird is being a millennial unc that grew up gaming and yet somehow never got into WoW or Ocarina of Time… And now seeing remakes of both come out this month.
I’m a sappy Gen Z and this was my first Zelda and I have to say they remade this perfectly I love it so much, if anyone ever even considered playing this it’s well worth it. We wouldn’t have half the games we have without this game. Yes it’s my favorite game ever so I may be biased so what!?
The only con about nintendo releasing this game is that it left me wanting a majoras mask remake even more lol
There are reasons I love this game a lot. Nostalgia is not one of those reasons. Or at least, not nostalgia for the original.
If anything, it is nostalgia for the game design. I enjoy not having to spend 1.5 hours of my 2 hour playtime traveling from 1 point on the map to another fighting trash mobs to make it seem less boring. The areas are dense with stuff to do and despite there being many corridors, there are nice secrets to find within them.
For difficulty, it is not challenging, but while I do enjoy challenge in my games, not every game needs it for me to have fun. Not every game needs to be challenging. I can have fun with no challenge. I like watching movies, reading books and listening to music. None of which is challenging to do.
Not goty dont care how yall feel zelda sucks
I'm not a Nintendo fan, and I didn't grow up with Zelda, so I never played the N64 games. BUT I've played some of the newer entries, and Zelda is pretty much the only Nintendo IP I care about.
I don't think I'll play this one myself, but my girlfriend is playing it, and it looks amazing. It also brings back memories of when games didn't hold your hand 24/7 and actually let you figure things out on your own.
I had a weird zelda journey. First on the gameboy, oracle of ages, oracle of seasons. I never had a nintendo console until the wii so then it was twilight princess (easily my favorite) and skyward sword. And finally botw (kinda cool) and totk (i lost interest pretty quickly). I’m just looking for the feel of the journey, characters and dungeons, the music and the flow i felt with twilight princess and honestly, this looks perfect❤ so i’m going to be playing this pretty soon probably and i’m looking forward to it
Such generic voice acting though. Wish they better there, but Nintendo never does.
surface level details glazefest ends at 10:00
The voice acting ruined the immersion and creepiness. Gannon just wasnt intimidating. Impa was the only character that had good voice acting. Such a shame
I was waiting for a reason to buy a switch 2 and then this game came out. I own a Switch 2 now and this game is incredible, its just as great as i remember
This game means so much to me. It came out when I was 20, and had nothing. No idea what to do with my life. The original basically saved my life. Gave me something to smile about when I was down so deep I couldn't even think of surfacing. To see such a beloved game given the love it deserved for a remake feels so good. Yes I cried when the title screen music started. Again, it saved me then, and in way it's saving me now.
I bought a switch 2 to play BOTW, which was my first time playing a Zelda game. I cannot wait to play this
I was old enough for the N64 version to be my first game but I had a PlayStation. My first encounter with OoT was the 3D remaster on the 3DS and I loved it, but I didn't have the nostalgia a lot of people have for this game. That being said, this game still absolutely BLEW ME AWAY. It's just an incredible, INCREDIBLE remake and I couldn't imagine how it feels to play this as a fan from the original N64 version. So happy for anyone that got to experience that level of joy when playing this.
Ive been a giddy little kid the second i heard Epona galloping on the title screen. Ive stopped playing so many games to play this non stop
I don’t often comment online, but I felt like I should this time. Also, I never beat the original OOT, since I only ever played it at friend’s places, and I’m definitely getting the remake soon, but that’s not why I’m putting a comment here either.
Listening to this, felt like listening to a friend who just played the best thing they’ve ever played in their life. Someone who enthusiastically loved every second of that gaming experience and couldn’t wait to tell their friends about it. And for a moment I felt like a kid again. Like Jake was the friend next door that wanted to invite all his friends over to check out this new game.
Im been replaying Skyrim and kingdom hearts for the first time in years, and with BioWares shutdown the world has seemed really heavy lately. Nostalgic games and videos like this are some of the few things that still bring joy into my life.
Anyways! All I’m saying is, thanks for sharing your love and passion for the games you enjoy.
