This game needs no introduction, and it's unlikely many are on the fence about it: you've either already pre-ordered it and put aside the funds, or aren't buying it on principle. Whichever way you swing, the video below shows how the game's shaping up now it's just over a month away.
The video shows Sheik, Ganondorf, Zelda and plenty of other staple characters, both good and bad, all presented in the same art style as its N64 predecessor.
Not long to wait now, adventurers.
Thanks to JafriYakin for the tip.

But...Young Link IS short! What does this mean?! D=
EDIT: I just realized it said "Line Young Link, It's Only Short". I'm an idiot.
Indeed, with the quality of the video and the fact that I haven't played an N64 recently, it's a bit hard to tell this apart from the original. I imagine people will be happy with that.
Why am I so excited for a game I've completed several times?
@moosa the graphics are noticeably improved due to the superior hardware but the art style's remained the same which is why it looks similar (which is a good thing!)
Sheikh has an H at the end?
@Kid_A It does when you have an auto-correcting spell-checker!
I'm excited, as I've said several times the original has aged terribly so it'll be nice to play the game again without accidentally walking through a wall.
I'll definately be picking this up the day it comes out, even though I've practically memorized the whole game, but I'm still waiting for an awesome North Ameica pre-order bonus.
Better than ever before!
got it pre ordered my 3ds is screaming out for it
İ have beaten this game on N64.But İ am going buy 3DS version too!
i want it i like it i love it pleas just give it to me
Hmm...
Same game is the same.
Will it be like the N64 version, so if you've played it on the N64 you can replay it on 3DS?
Looking good!
The graphics look so much better than in the screenshots, sweet.
N64 Link looks WAY better, but I still wish this game all the succes.
@16....How does N64 Link look better? It has that Michael Jackson nose and no strap and sharply angled hair and everything...
The more videos I watch of this, the more I feel that I've played this all before. The walls are prettier but it's making me less convinced to buy the game again for $40 when I have it on VC for $10. I know it's a remake, I wasn't expecting much to be changed but the graphics don't look quite nice enough to me to pay $40 for a game I've already played through. It would certainly be a must buy if they included Majora's Mask also or even just A Link to the Past with upgraded graphics or maybe if the graphics were updated enough where it looked like a modern Wii game. The screenshots look amazing but when I watch it in action, it doesn't look quite as amazing to me.
Amazing game though. I'm just thinking I'll stick to the VC version for now. I'm in the Water Temple on my second playthrough. I guess I'll wait for reviews but there are enough other games I want coming out sometime this year and my wallet doesn't like me.
I've played this game over a dozen times and yet I'm still wanting this one.
This is where Nintendo is failing at. All these new videos are nice, but wasnt this kind of stuff what spotpass was designed for. Why not be sending these videos to our 3DS' so
#1 We can see them in 3D
#2 We can show it off to people.
Great 2D videos BTW
Looks.....
way too N64-ish
I guess their not much you could do with a low polygon game.
@22
I believe that will come after the update. The videos may still be in 2D mode though.
great! BUT WHERES SKYWARD SWORD!
God, I hope they let you speed through the dialog and text faster this time. No offense to anyone, but nearly every sentence of narrative text in OoT is so badly written it makes me stupider just to sit through it.
I don't know if I can make it through all the corny thee's and thou's from that dang tree again.
I don't care if I've already bought it on the VC. It'll be nice to have it on a handheld... but maybe it's better to buy the "real 3DS releases" first.
@warioswoods
Wow, I usually find myself agreeing with you but I definitely can't in this case. I love the language of Ocarina of Time; there's a child-like simplicity in it that I actually find kind of perfect for the game itself.
@warioswoods I like the dialogue actually, but I do want a way to skip it quickly because even though it's good the first time around, it does kinda get in the way of multiple playthroughs, at least for me.
"Verily, thou hast felt it." (What's with this faux King James stuff?)
"Fly, Navi, fly! The fate of the forest, nay, the world, depends upon thee!"
It's almost as corny as dialogue in the new Star Wars movies.
Link's Awakening had a far, far better story and text, as did Twilight Princess (Midna is easily the best-written character in all of Zelda). Majora's Mask also showed ten times more cleverness with writing than OoT. I stand by my point.
Perhaps if I actually played this game for the first time as a child... but alas, verily I was quite a bit older.
i'm with pik — i can take or leave the text, it doesn't really bother me (lol, the corny crap is part of the zelda-series charm, IMO), but having a way to speed through the dialogue would make multiple playthroughs much, much easier. do want :3
This game looks like it runs at more frames per second than the N64 original! Awesome!
Graphics are still too blocky!
give it slack man it has to fit in a ds card
@20 Agreed.
A remake of a classic isn't a bad thing, but meh... completed it quite a few times now and its still absolutely brilliant from beginning to end. I'd love to see it in 3D and play it again but with the portability factor. Only thing is, its missing something, i don't know what though.
And the graphics still look blocky and a lot like the N64 version. Its not a bad thing, ofcourse, but I wouldn't of mind a little more fleshing out. It'll probably look better in 3D, however.
This is going to look so much better in 3D. The game looks great in 2D but I don't think we should judge it by a video. Videos of games always look like crap anyway.
Look's great! I can never get tired of hearing the music from this game, it's stuck with me for so long.
The animations look jerky. There clearly isn’t much of an improvement to be seen here… i think i’ll pass on this. I’ll buy a 3DS once something original surfaces.
what if im not buying it cause i already own it for GC? Is that principle?
Hey Jamesy, you forgot the 3rd group of people: those who want the game and will get it, but don't have money for the game or the system.
@42
Sadly, I'm part of that group
Nice trailer/preview
Graphics don't matter. I would still get it if it looked exactly like it did on the n64
there's is master quest mode and other things yeah still same kinda but it's still cool to have a portal game last 50+ hours that's is you like to 100% it
I really liked the Orcarina of Time for the N64 and would like to see a remake of Majora's Mask to...
