@PJOReilly how would you say the face buttons feel on the controller? I love my 8Bitdo Pro 2, but sometimes pressing the face buttons hurts my fingers over an extended period of time. Contrast that with the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller, which has very soft buttons that are easier on my fingers.
@Spider-Kev No problem. Honestly though they’re not going to be super impressive but I think they still count. The Maka Rah Shrine in Hebra plays the music, along with To Aquino which you mentioned being near the leviathan bones earlier. Noya Neha by Hyrule Castle also plays music, along with Toto Sah by the dueling peaks. Perhaps only caves with Shrines play the music, but Ive been replaying the in prep for TOTK and I know I’ve heard it a lot at this point. The two shrines in Herba and definitely the most impressive caves I’ve come across so far.
@Spider-Kev There’s a lot of caves in the game, but not “caves” where the screen goes black on the sides and a NPC is hanging out inside. Any time you bomb a wall and there is a space big enough to go inside, a soundtrack called “Cave” plays. It probably isn’t what you’re looking for (And isn't anything like what Tears of the Kingdom’s caves are going to be like) but Nintendo seemed to think they counted, given the name of the song.
As for dungeons, the Shrines seemed to be going for that at least in spirit. I mean dungeons in Zelda 1 had the same aesthetic and song play aside from palette swaps and they were always meant to test the player’s ability to solve puzzles and fight enemies. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the same purpose shrines serve in BOTW even if they aren’t more concentrated doses of puzzles. And shrines sure do look exactly same the on the inside. (From an aesthetic sense, they obviously are very different depending on the puzzles inside.)
I feel like BOTW is already the remake we’re gonna get for Zelda 1. The freedom to go where ever, mechanics like burning, rafts, underground dungeon-like places, Lynel and Hinoxes, heck, the tech demo for the game was a remake of Zelda 1 with the physics of BOTW. (Go look it up, it’s neat!) The triforce was even supposed to be three circuit boards, which definitely is alluded to with the Sheikah tech in the newer games. As cool as it would be to get an overhead style remake for the first Zelda, we probably already got the remake without realizing it.
