The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time comes out tomorrow (tonight, if you’re a sicko like me staying up for it), and damn, those reviews look great. It’s a historic game, a classic that people rightfully remember and love for its incredible highs and, with hindsight, in spite of some of its weirdest lows. Having played the original recently, back in January, I can confidently say it’s mostly held up, though a remake smoothing out its roughest edges makes a lot of sense in 2026.
Ahead of that launch, though, why don’t we take a quick tour back through Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 and remember both its best and worst moments? Let’s get some perspective on just what’s in store for us tomorrow before it hits:
I mean, just look at him go! I hope this looks just as ridiculous in the remake.
Yes, Kaepora Gaebora, I did get all that! Why are your options swapped?!
Forget the Water Temple, this is the real worst dungeon in Ocarina of Time. Carrying Ruto around while enemies attack, her crying and returning to the start at the slightest gust of wind touching her, and her berating you the entire time…the bit where she totally gives up if she sits in water really drives me nuts. You’re a Zora! Learn to swim, geez!
