Ocarina Of Time Remake Producer Explains Why Mario Easter Eggs Were Cut

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has removed some of the original game’s Super Mario easter eggs to make sure players are as immersed as possible.

If you’re a Zelda veteran or just an easter egg aficionado, then you no doubt know that Ocarina of Time included a few cheeky references to Nintendo’s other juggernaut series, Super Mario. Talon’s design and the Bowser pendant that he and his daughter wear are the obvious ones, but the real treat is a bunch of Mario portraits that can be seen through the windows of Zelda’s courtyard.

Even though the easter egg is really just a few images from Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64, it’s still a beloved secret from the original game. Sadly, those portraits are nowhere to be found in the Ocarina of Time remake, which the series’ producer has explained was done to keep players focused on being immersed in Hyrule.

As pointed out by GameXplain founder Andre Segers on Twitter, looking through the windows of Zelda’s courtyard in the Ocarina of Time remake will no longer treat you to some pixely Mario artwork. IGN points out that the windows now give you a sneak peek at the full Threads of Time tapestry, which, while gorgeous, is a bit of a downgrade.

We finally got a chance to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and it's still one of the best games ever made.

GoNintendo actually had the chance to ask Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma about the Mario portraits being removed from the remake.
