Zelda Ocarina of Time sur Switch 2 gagne la 4K et des commandes modernes

Lire en : English · Français · Deutsch · Español

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a fresh look on Nintendo’s Switch 2, and the preview makes one thing clear: this is not a lazy remaster. The game runs in 4K and introduces a handful of modern tweaks that change how you move, fight, and think through puzzles in Hyrule.

On the ground, Link can sprint, which eliminates the tedious backtracking of the original as you chase bosses or dash through fields. There’s now a manual jump, a free-rotating camera, and a scrolling inventory that replaces the old menu screens. These changes are designed to bring a sense of immediacy to the game without erasing its classic structure.

They also addressed how you manage your loot. Link’s wallet is fatter, which is more practical when you’re collecting rupees from the world or spending them at shops. And while the dungeon layouts stay familiar, the way you interact with each room is streamlined so players don’t feel stuck in “old-school” rhythm rather than puzzle-solving brainpower.

The soundscape has been given its own lift too. The composer’s work now carries more room-filling brass and a livelier tempo, which helps the game feel alive in 4K. Nintendo isn’t just upscaling; it’s reimagining how the music supports exploration and combat in the same way modern games do.

But upgrading a cherished classic invites debate. Some fans worry that the new visuals look too glossy or that Link’s character model loses the charm of the original. The preview notes that Link now has large glassy eyes and a different facial style, which has drawn both praise and criticism online. An art director who helped shape the remake has explained his thinking behind the character design, but the tension between past and present remains a talking point.

Even as some fans weigh nostalgia against new capabilities, the core adventure remains true to the spirit of the 1998 original. The Castle Town shooting gallery, bosses, and iconic temples are all present, but the new tools offer a different way to approach them. The result could be a game that feels both familiar enough for longtime players and fresh enough to intrigue newcomers who mainly know Zelda from later, more expansive titles.

Nintendo has not released a firm release date or price for Switch 2’s Ocarina of Time remake yet. The preview makes it clear this is a celebration of both memory and progress, a game built to live on a modern console while honoring the design puzzles that defined a generation.

今回のモデルを見て感じたのは……ここにも宮本さんの「人形劇好き」がしっかり表れている気がする❗️ https://t.co/ENPmW2Pavc
