The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time · official art via IGDBThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is a guided, semi-open adventure that follows a more structured path than recent Zelda titles. The game includes loading screens between areas to maintain the feel of the original. Players can switch between child Link and adult Link eras using an anchor, and actions taken as a child can affect the world seven years later.
Nintendo plans to release a physical ocarina instrument for the game, though an official overview states alternative instruments should function as well. On the Switch 2, players can use the console microphone to play melodies by humming, singing, or whistling.
