Will Ocarina be like a full fledged remake and not a simple remaster? If it's a remaster I'm not interested, already played a remaster version on 3DS

I felt the game design (read: the dungeons) was good, but the controls and camera needed a severe overhaul. A full remake with better controls, camera and combat flow would have me interested

My guess is full fledged remake ala FF7 Remake. 

They already have an engine seemingly for it (see Wii U Zelda demo) anyway. 

I think they want to tie in to the Zelda movie next year and this will sell through that movie release window but to bring that game to a new generation of consumers a 3DS port probably doesn't cut it lol. 

We'll see though, who knows.

Ocarina Remake would be day 1, assuming it isn't a remaster. I already can play it upscaled, with overhauled controls and texture packs.

Switch 2

Looking back at that Wii U Zelda tech demo ... I kind of doubt this was ever running off actual Wii U hardware. It looks better than BOTW/TOTK (aesthetic debates put aside). 

But Switch 2 could really make an engine like this cook and enhance it significantly. A OoT Remake that looks like this but better would be outstanding. 

They could really enhance the story too ... OoT actually has a pretty cool story, but the derpy N64-era visuals really could not convey it that well and lacked punch.



All of this along with the evergreen effect of Pokopia leading the charge could make this a solid year for Switch 2 even without the new Mario. Let's just hope for no price increases.

It depends on how big of a scope that Zelda remake is. If we're talking like FF7 Remake type of deal and care put into it, or even if it's running on that Wii U demo engine (enhanced) ... that would be a big, big deal. 

Duskbloods could be a big deal too.
