Ocarina of Time is my favorite game of all time (original, i known) but i have to ask, who is this really for?
The original game is AMAZING for it's time, and that time was 1998. There are games on it's on series that surpasses it in scale. Like, what's the plan here? Hyrule field for instance is sooo tiny and uninteresting, no amount of realistic trees and bushes wiil be enough to hide that fact. BUT, if they changed it too much, it wouldn't be Ocarina of Time anymore, would it be? Hyrule field is more like a hub world akin to princess peach castle than a sprolling open world, and that was totaly fine for it's time, it worked. The tecnology wasn't there yet.
My point is, i think a sequel would be a lot better. I consider Twilight Princess to be pretty much a "Ocarina of Time 2". So a knew entry akin to this two games would make a lot more sense.
I'm not saying that the game is going to sell porly or anything like that, just to be clear. I'm just talking strictly as a fan of the original.

The original runs at like 15fps, so thats a reason for the remake alone.

I give you that, but, we have a extremely servicible remake on the 3DS already. Running at 30fps and it looks great there. Why not realease a 4k/60fps version of that on the switch 2 and then they could focus on a new entry instead of another remake.

Remakes are so commonplace now for three reasons.
The first is that consumers have shown they will buy the same game twice (and three times, and four times, and five and six and--), and publishers go wherever the money is. The second is that remakes are significantly cheaper to make, so the overhead, or lack thereof, is very attractive. The third is due to the abhorrent development times of modern gaming. If it's going to take ten years to make a freakin' sequel, what are you going to do to keep customers locked into your brand? You need something. Remakes fill the void and do so on the cheap.
I don't buy remakes, myself. I own the originals. I play the originals. I don't want the the originals changed, because I adore them, as is. I want new games, on new consoles, not old ones.
But I am clearly not in the majority.

I agree, but here's the thing. The game looks to be very ambitious, a complete rebrand in therm of graphics. It can't be a cheap project to produce, as far as we seen of course.
Why not just go all out? Make a new game at this point. Release a port of Oot 3D slated for this year and tease a new entry in the oot style of titles for next year.
Again, i understand the idea. Remakes like this sell for nostalgic sake alone, it's a good business decision on Nintendo's part. This is just me wishful thinking pretty much. 😄
