Feature Six Things That Need To Change In The Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake
And one that MUST stay the same
Until earlier this year, I'd not really considered what I'd want to see in a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. After all, the 2011 3DS version did a pretty good job at updating the 1998 original, and so I'd operated under the assumption that it wouldn't be a thing again for a long, long time. Alas, it's real. Ocarina of...
