I am see mixed thoughts on the visuals on the game. What do you all think?

I really like how it looks. 

Imho, looks good. Needs some work on anti-aliasing, but I like the choices of the art team.

The animation has a smooth felling, I feel like the combat will deliver something visually good and satisfying with such smooth animation.

One minor complaint I have is that I'm not seeing much variety in the way water looks. With the exception of 1 scene, the bodies of water all seem to be the same completely clear and see-through water with barely any reflections. One moment shows shallow water at sunset that looks absolutely gorgeous because it reflects the orange sky instead of just showing the bottom, but outside of that, the water has a very Twilight Princess feel in how see-through it is. I'm hoping to be proven wrong, but that's my nitpick.

I’m really torn on this. I was hoping for of a reimagining than a remake, even if I knew that a remake was much more realistic.

My biggest gripe is going ”backwards” to a linear game makes me on the fence for this one. As I stated earlier in this thread, I just recently replayed ALttP and the linearity really drags that game down and OoT is even more linear.

I don't really have the money. Otherwise that would be quite tempting.

Twilight Princess is crying right now. Still no clear sign of any version of it coming to Switch 2 though it might for the 40th Anniversary.
Also, interesting that Nintendo hasn't (as far as I'm aware) acknowledged Ocarina of Time 3D. Now they aren't saying in a literal sense that this is the first remake of OOT but a bit weird to not reflect on that for the history of the game.
