3 things from your list i definitely agree with. Keep the sad things sad…keep the scary things scary. And more in depth sword combat…id like the added skills that were in twilight princess for instance. I dont think that will happen as there has been no sign of it. But never know. Nintendo has surprised us before. 3 other things id like though. Have more enemies in hyrule field. And more underground caves with more puzzles. Another thing is make the fire and ice arrows more impactful and worth getting. I always get them for completion purposes but rarely use them. And one final thing I would like. Id like a light temple. Make me earn that light medallion. Now these things I can take or leave as ocarina of time is my favourite game of all time but these things would add more to the experience.
#8 and #2 are clearly the most important items in this list.
Also don’t lie, you’re already playing this game lol
“Some of this stuff Nintendo just would not do today”
That’s what we thought 2 years ago as well but they kept the noose in Paper Mario TTYD 😂
My only hope is that it fails. Just imagine how many NEW games we'd get if it flopped.
THE ONLY CAMEO I'VE EVER WANTED
Temple of Light!
Arlo: I don't want games to waste my time
Also Arlo: I want a longer King Zora scoot
Wow, you really read my mind. I’ve been talking to my friends about my hopes for this game, and they match your list precisely!
I'm calling it right now, Nintendo is going to gentrify the hell out of the shadow temple.
you just described master quest
I really hope they don't leave out king zoras bumshuffle.
I get that it's a faithful remake, but it did really need to be? We've already had a faithful remake of the game.
I would love if they took the opportunity to actually use the ending of oot to connect it to the 3 time lines. If you lose to Gannon the screen turns white, and it says the hero has fallen. Then theres a cut scene leading to og zelda. You beat him you get a cut scene that leads to a flood happening. Then a cut scene where like at the end screen of OoT, where link sees zelda you get a option to tell the royal palace about Gannon, and it leads to majoras mask.
Now these Hopes I can get behind with. Especially relative to plot and dialogs. There is literally the final Nabooru dialog where she compliments Link and regrets not "rewarding him". That, with Ruto wanting Link to be her husband, with Talon making a joke of Link marrying Malon and the gossip stones saying Malon is waiting for a white knight in shining armor, I want all of it still there.
As Arlo said, don't pull any punches.
MARRIAGE CANDIDATES YEAAAH 😂🎉
But I do like the idea of adding more usability to the iconic temple items.
And I am also begging for A SCARY OOT. It needs to be so scary. And please don't ruin another character like no more upside down kaepora gaebora.
Wow thanks Arlo, I’m sure Nintendo will take this into account 24 hours from launch.
Um, it does have some minor changes but at its core QOL amendments aside, it is largely a 1:1 so I'm not sure why Arlo's title is treating and approaching this full of hope and expectations as the next brand new Zelda game (even though in the most literal sense of the words, it is) 😅😭
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone discuss the idea that if they made it so you don't have to fall in the forest temple and work your way back then what about the fire temple? There are seriously sketchy ledges with a timer on top of if you Mistep at all you fall into the main chamber quite a ways back.
Also there is a platform section that if you fall it can be so annoying to get back on.
The forest temple is meant to be just a touch of what you'll find ahead.
What's the music during the Cameo section at the very start?
4:28
you think getting lost in the water temple in oot is "wasting time"?
Based Arlo takes in this vid.
There was a glitch with my YouTube and the video was completely silent. I thought you were saying that you wanted Navi to be silent haha
Off topic but what is the soundtrack that starts at 2:45?
You’re kind of a whiny baby
I'm not as worried about the item system because OoT actually doesn't have that many items, especially since you can't use all the items as child/adult.
I think you forgot about the bombchu baddie.. looks like I might be helping running a shop end game 👀
I was TERRIFIED of the zombie grabby things (re deads?? Cant remember) I am wondering how horrifying they'll be in the remake
I think the item scroll wheel honestly won’t be that bad this time around. There are WAY fewer items in this game than Totk. So I think it’ll be fine.
That note about melancholy is spot on. The world is dour, hope will redeem it.
I hope there are some decent side quests and fun cutscenes that make the story feel more epic. Need that palette cleanser.
My pie-in-the-sky impossible hope is that Majora's Mask is a second 'Kanto Region in Gen 2' post-game surprise, lol
I love how some of these are genuine hypothetical QoL suggestions and some of them are just clearly silly jokes
#6 NO SHORTCUTS!
Make everyone suffer through it!
Don't hold anyones hands!
If you fell off a ledge and have to spend 4-5min. getting back to where you were…well TOO BAD.
#3 They better not water down the horror aspects of the BottomOfTheWell or Shadow Temple.
I want to see those red stains, or guillotines, or "x-shaped" chambers….and don't mess up the ReDeads either.
I even in my 3rd playthrough back in the day I still refused to go down the royal tomb to get the Sun Song, cause I was just THAT scared of ReDeads.
