Zelda boss Eiji Aonuma says he is all nervous about the Ocarina of Time remake launch.
"I don't know how it's going to turn out, I can't stop thinking about it," he told reporters in Paris.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake lands November 5, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.
The original launched in 1998 on Nintendo 64. Many still call it one of the best games ever made.
Fans want the magic they remember. New players want a game that feels fresh today. Both is hard.
The remake keeps the classic story style, not the open world of Breath of the Wild.
Some developers never played the original. Their fresh ideas shaped how the remake feels.
Aonuma: "It's thanks to these young people that this remake came into being."
Previews are glowing. The game runs at a smooth 60 frames per second on Switch 2.
It launches just two weeks before Grand Theft Auto VI, the biggest game launch ever.
Aonuma wants younger staff to shape future Zelda games. He will guide them, together.
