Nintendo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming soon, giving Link and Zelda's classic Nintendo 64 adventure a dramatic new look and quality of life features. The Zelda remake is also getting two big additions that will expand the gameplay experience, and they both exist outside the title itself.
One of the cooler new features involves physical ocarinas that will work with the Ocarina of Time remake.
The first release is a fully-fledged ocarina that fans can play in real life. The physical ocarina interacts directly with the game, where Link will perform the exact notes that fans play on the wind instrument. Series producer Eiji Aonuma showed this feature in action by playing Epona's song, a ditty that hailed Link's trusty steed.
Players can still input notes normally, through dedicated controller buttons. Alternatively, Nintendo revealed that fans will be able to use the Switch 2 controllers' microphone to hum notes into the game for the same effect.
If you didn't download the Nintendo Switch app to access Zelda Notes for Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom back in 2025, Nintendo just gave you another excuse to check it out. For the Ocarina of Time remake, the app feature will have 11 different options to peruse — but Nintendo only explained a handful of them.
Today's Record will highlight the player's accomplishments in chronological order, complete with screenshots of when the action was completed. Think of it like Nintendo's version of achievements, except specific to Zelda.
