The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has made a massive comeback with its Nintendo Switch 2 remake, introducing a new generation of players to one of the most beloved adventures in gaming history, and Echoes of Hyrule arrives alongside the remake for those interested in Hyrule. Not surprisingly, the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched to universal acclaim, hitting a 96 Must-Play Metascore after 80 reviews.

While Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are understandably the biggest names in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Hyrule itself is home to dozens of interesting personalities. Some help Link along his journey, while others have their own problems, relationships, and stories that unfold in the background. Characters like Malon, Saria, and the residents of Kakariko Village contribute to what makes the world feel alive, and a new release is taking a closer look at the people who usually remain on the sidelines, offering a very different way to experience the world of Zelda.

Nintendo confirms that the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake makes changes to the Water Temple, one of the most frustrating dungeons in the N64 version.

A new book titled The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Hyrule explores the events surrounding Ocarina of Time through the perspectives of its supporting characters and NPCs. Written by Anna-Victòria Teixidó, who also goes by Kurusonna, the 332-page hardcover tells a collection of interconnected stories that place these overlooked characters at the center of the action. The stories unfold chronologically, beginning before the timeline/events of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and eventually taking readers beyond Hyrule itself.
