Playing OoT Remake in handheld mode will remind me of playing the remastered version on the 3ds. More then a decade ago (2011) I remember playing OoT on the 3ds and really found it amazing to play my most favourite game that i had played all the time during my childhood in the 90s, then many years later you can actually play OoT on a handheld gaming device. I was completely amazed, but with the QOL improvements, I was so impressed and really enjoyed my time playing it again.

Fast forward to present times 2026, and the full remake is coming out less than a month away. I have been thinking how amazing it's going to be to play this in handheld mode. It will bring back those memories of playing this on the 3ds but it will be 100 times better with this remake.

On my 2nd playthrough, I will definitely be playing in handheld mode, but on the 1st playthrough I will be playing it on my 32 inch gaming (IPS Screen) Monitor.

The Screen quality is pretty damn good on the Switch 2.

I was in my 20s when the remastered 3ds version came out in 2011, even through the 3ds remastered is not as nostalgia as playing the original N64 as a child back in the 90s. The 3ds came out 15 years ago more then a decade ago and can't help to feel a bit nostalgic of playing it now. So playing the remake of OoT on the Switch 2 in Handheld Mode will bring those nostalgic memories back when playing this on my 3ds back more then a decade ago.

I would advise you to definitely play it in handheld mode, especially if you have ever played the 3ds remastered version.

I love how the Fire Temple looks like. It looks unnerving, foreboding and a claustrophobic atmosphere and in a lava pit fire environment. It's a very unsettling atmosphere.

I can tell that the Remake will be a darker Zelda game that will stick with the darkness vibe of the original N64 game.

Really looking forward to see what the Bottom of the Well and the Shadow Temple will look like.

Baby Link looks so adorable. His getting ready for his big epic adventure.

I had to put the images on a montage as the images were not the best quality and quite small.

Enjoy

Digital Foundry mentions that OoT Remake will only be 1080p but with 60 fps in Dock Mode.

I hope the resolution will look good in dock mode on a 4k display and not blurry. I have a 32 inch 4k monitor IPS Screen which i plan on playing my Switch 2 Ocarina of Time on.

Maybe Nintendo is good at compressing their games while keeping top notch picture quality that it will look sharp playing on 4k screens.

The graphics in OoT Remake is very important in this game to look sharp and clear and not blurry as one of the main aspects of the Remake is the new realistic graphics and being a remake we want it to look graphically good that's one of the main reasons for this remake.

I do have hope that Nintendo won't screw up the resolution and making it look blurry on a 4k tv or monitor where the graphics is a very important thing in this great remake.

It looks great from the gameplay we saw it looked crystal clear and sharp, i thought it was 4k. So im not worried as i expect it will look amazing on our 4k tv and monitors. But I'm playing on my 4k 32 inch monitor so it will look much better on that then my 4k 70 inch tv. My 70 inch tv is a budget tv whereas my 32 inch monitor is a gaming monitor a mid range one with IPS screen, the screen is bright and vibrant so if daylight shines on my screen there are no reflections.

7 year old Maria Ridulph born 1950 was kidnapped on the 3rd December 1957 her body was found on April 26 1958.

She went out to play with her best friend 8 year old Kathy Sigman on the evening of December 3rd 1957, Maria had beg her mother to go outside to play with her friend in the evening after she had dinner and was only permitted to play near the corner of her home.

It was the evening and getting dark outside, it had just started to snow.

The two little girls were chasing each other on the footpath (Maria was strictly told by her mother not to cross any busy streets and not to go onto the very busy road and was only permitted to play near her house). The two girl were playing a game they created which they called it duck the cars. A game where cars would pass by them on the road with the shinning car lights, when ever they saw a car pass by them and the bright lights shine on them the girls would rush to the big elm tree on the same footpath and the first one to touch the big tree would win the game, Maria would always win the game as she was the athletic type child.

A young man who called himself Johnny would soon approach the two children and ask the kids if they would like piggyback rides. Kathy denied the piggyback ride but Maria said yes. This Johnny kneeled down to the children's height and Maria climbed onto Johnny back and then he stood up with Maria riding on his back and down the street he went, Maria giggling. When Johnny came back down the street where her friend Kathy stood, he kneeled down again to let Maria of his back, Maria was grinning. Johnny then asked if the kids liked dolls, Maria said she has many dolls and like to show him her favourite doll. Maria rushed home excitedly.

When Maria came into her home she rushed to her mother Francis and ask her if she could take out one of her brand new dolls to play with. Her mother said she must take out one of her older dolls. So Maria rushed to her play corner in the middle of the house where she kept all her toys and dolls and grab a old rubber doll which was also her favourite. Michael Ridulph (Maria's father) saw his daughter Maria rubbing through her toys in the corner of his eyes while he was busy watching a old western show on TV, then he saw Maria rushed out the house with her doll.

When Maria reached back to Johnny and Kathy. Johnny commented how pretty Maria's doll is, Maria smiled and beg for another piggyback ride. When he came back to let Maria of his back, Kathy wanted to go home to get mittens for her cold hands as she was feeling cold she then told Maria to come with her but Maria said no as she wanted to play more with this Johnny.

When Kathy came back Maria was gone and so was this adult man. Kathy took a few moments to look for Maria went back to Maria's house and talked with Maria's 11 year old brother Charles that she couldn't find Maria anywhere, she went outside with Maria's brother and Kathy's older brother but they couldn't find her anywhere.

When the parents found out she was missing they went outside to look for her, the father had a whistle to call out to Maria which was given to him by a police officer as a year before Maria wondered away from her home to play at the local cemetery and they didn't know where she was and had a neighbourhood look with the police. Maria turned up and the police officer game Maria's father Michael a police whistle just in case this happened again, in which it just happened.

Maria's mother was so worried she called up Kathy's mother to ask where she was, and Kathy then told her mother a stranger a man came up to them and was giving them piggyback rides. Francis then freaked out and rushed to the police station saying her child has just been kidnapped.

The search for the missing child went on for months as even the FBI got involved and the President of the USA made major headlines to help look for the missing 7 year old little girl. J Edgar Hoover was even in charge of the case lead by the FBI.

Christmas went by and Maria's xmas presents stood under the Christmas tree untouched. The family was quite and Maria's mother stood silent reading her bible praying that her little girl will be found and returned to them.

Maria's parents made a live television appearance begging for the kidnapper to please return their child to them.

On April 26 1958 a elderly couple who was searching for mushrooms in the forest came upon a small body, the old man thought it was a baby deer at first but then saw the child's clothing and long hair and realised it was a human child's body a little girl.

Decades went by with no answers who kidnapped and killed this little girl until in 2011 a man named Jack Mccullough was a suspect and charged with kidnapping and killing the child back in 1957, Jack was named Johnny back then and he was 18 years old in 1957.

Then just a few years back Jack was released from jail due to lack of evidence.

Now Maria's case is unsolved once again sadly.

Maria's parents always longed to be with Maria all their lives which has deeply affected them throughout their whole lifes. Francis mentioned just before she passed away at the age of 94 years old in 2007 just days before she had passed saw a vision or had a dream of Maria happily playing in heaven and was happy to finally reunite with her little girl again.

Her sibling like Maria's older brother have been devasted by her loss.

It is a very upsetting and very tragic case what happened to this innocent child. Her life taken from her at the age of only 7 years old, she was just a baby. I feel so sad for her family. Its even more sad now that her case remains unsolved once again.

Maria was described as a sweet and cheerful child.

Looking forward to see the Happy Mask Salesman and the Windmill Guy in the remake.

Who's excited to seeing them in the Remake.

I know that the remake hasn't come out yet but i have a gut feeling that the Remake of Ocarina of Time is going to be my most favourite video game of all time.

I can see myself playing this repeat from start to finish unlimited of times through the years. This will definitely be much better then the original N64 version in which will be very hard to return to after completing the remake, as the original N64 version to be honest hasn't age that well. The remake to me is the definitive version to play OoT.

And will be my most favourite video of all time which i can just see myself playing this over and over and over again from start to finish.

I can't wait for my most favourite video game to be released on the 5th November 2026. Thank you Nintendo I LOVE YOU.

Ocarina of Time means so much to me as i grew up playing this during my childhood in the 90s, i was 11 years old in 1998 and it was revolutionary back then. Now that my most favourite video game of all time is getting a remake, the remake will surpass the original N64 version.

What score do you think the remake will get? do you think it will beat the score of OoT N64? my predictions that the remake will get a 100/100 Perfect Score. It will be the greatest video game of all Time.

In the Remake it looks like you enter the sewers compared to the original where you enter this wooden opening with clean water rushing out that gets you into the Hyrule Castle courtyard with guards.

I find this new change pretty cool and interesting. I wonder where is the sewers location to get into Hyrule Castle and will you need to go through the courtyard garden dodging the guards.

This is going to be the best game ever made and I will most certainly like it even more then the original N64 version.

I grew up playing the original N64 version as a child of the 90s (born 1987) I was like 11 years old when it came out in 1998 and it was so revolutionary of its time. But now playing the N64 version it has age quite a bit and looks very bland.

Unlike other N64 games that have actually aged a lot better like Majorias Mask, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie these N64 games have aged a lot better then OoT especially Majorias Mask when it comes to the sequel to OoT. I don't think I can manage to return to playing the N64 original version after playing the remake.

This remake is just perfect and I love how it's a 1:1 Remake. This is a dream come true that I have been wanting a remake for years now and we finally get this.

People are complaining how child Zelda looks like but I actually like the way she looks. In a way she is Royalty looks, so maybe her looks is in her rich gens, I think she looks adorable.

The remake on Switch 2 will now be the best way to play OoT.

Thank you Nintendo ❤️

Enjoy the screenshots.

What is your most favourite OoT Song played on your Ocarina.

I haven't played OoT N64 for so long and want to start playing this again so from my memory I have forgotten many of the songs but I still remember the songs were so great.

I am going to be playing OoT N64 again as I have got my Analogue 3D now. My gold N64 version just arrived in the mail and so looking forward to play this again. Haven't played the N64 version since my childhood.

But I would like for everyone to share what is your most favourite song of OoT.
