Really like the look. Except all the textures and little details on Young Link's hat (and outfit). For some reason that sticks out as overdoing it, and ends up kinda ugly.
But yeah, seems like a pretty direct remake. The visuals have evolved so much that it feels different while staying very close to the original. I love the addition of a sprint. A jump button doesn't feel necessary, but might be nice in practice. If you didn't already like OoT tho, I don't think this will change your mind.
Another change they mentioned was that the day/night cycle continues even in towns now. I actually don't like that. There was always that little bit of peace when I'd arrive in town before sunset. I don't love day cycles in general, in OoT and most games it's usually just annoying and worse looking at night.
I appreciate the detail that you can see where his fingers go as he plays the ocarina. Combined with them selling one (albeit probably a cheaply made poor quality instrument?), that's kinda cool.
Glad to see the price is mostly reasonable.
I actually like the little details on Link. It looks like the Kokiri made their clothes out of leaves from the forest. That's why there are veins in Link's hat. I think it makes more sense than a community of children in a forest being able to grow and weave cloth.
As far as day/night changes go, at least we will still have the Sun's Song to change it whenever we want. But you make a good point about being able to relax in towns at sunset. I never liked how it would cut the music though.
Glad I'm not the only one. I feel like they went overboard with the details on link.
Yeah, you have a new high fidelity system than can handle all those details. But... Should you? Looks way too extra.
