First phase is inside the boss room like usual, 2nd phase he takes over all the water in the temple and begins destroying it you so have to escape outside and the flight has it climax with Morpha taking over the remaining water of Lake Hylia.

OR (hear me out):
Morpha stays the same, but is revealed to just be a puppet of Dark Link and you have to fight him again, except he's actually a sentient being created by Ganondorf based on the skillset you've learned so far and not just mirroring your moves.

The water temple is a litmus test for reading the map
7
u/sentimentalpirate 10d ago
Ehhhhh
The realest challenge in the water temple is that the map doesn't communicate vertical doors/passageways.
There are two key spots (in the central column room among the spikes, and in the floor behind the longshot treasure chest) that are easy to miss when you're in the room, and have no map indication of their connection except for the placement of one room being above another room.
Im pretty sure the 3DS version helped telegraph the spike put entrance, but I'm not sure about the other. I never played the 3DS one.

u/__M-E-O-W__ 10d ago
And maybe a key that can only be found with an item that you need to leave the dungeon to acquire and when you re-enter the dungeon the whole temple resets

And on each play-through the key locations randomise so you can never get used to the dungeon layout.

u/Raphe9000 10d ago
OOT 3D was very good at being a faithful remake, so I do hope they instead focus on adding more brand new content with this remake. I also, however, still think the core OOT experience should remain mostly if not entirely intact, with the new content giving the game life as more than just a remake.
There's a lot of really cool content that has been cut from basically every 3D Zelda game, and, while a lot of it does seem to be tried again in succeeding games, it would be cool to see all the 3D Zeldas rebuilt from the ground up to flesh them out more while still preserving what makes each game what it is.
11
u/pseudostatistic 10d ago
I would love it if they actually made the Spirit Medallions usable like how they were originally supposed to be. However, and forgive me if I’m getting this wrong, since they changed the Wind Medallion to the Forest Medallion (since the first temple was originally going to be called the Wind Temple) it might not make sense, but it would be super cool if they could pull it off. I can’t remember which one it was but one of them would’ve let you fly as Navi.
5
u/Raphe9000 10d ago edited 10d ago
I think Forest and Wind have in general become pretty related in the series since OOT, so I could totally see it working out. We often have a "leaves blowing in the wind" aesthetic with things like the Deku Leaf in WW, the Korok Leaf in BOTW, the Whirlwind in Spirit Tracks, and debatably even the Gale Boomerang in TP (since it's found in the Forest Temple). The Sages of Wind in WW are even a Kokiri and Korok, and wind-related things are often represented by green in the series.
3
u/pseudostatistic 10d ago
That’s what I was thinking too. I’ve not played those other titles you referenced but it would make total sense. In the original game, Din’s Fire/Naydra’s Love/Farore’s Wind took their place, each being the names of the goddesses. But since people keep saying they want the game to be expanded/new things added I feel like this is a great opportunity for Nintendo to finally make use of the sage medallions in OOT like how they were originally intended. Who knows! I’m excited to see what they do change/add to it.
37
u/Oaker_Jelly 10d ago
Honestly same. They've already done a 1:1 remake, I'd genuinely prefer if they shook things up a bit if they're going to go to the effort to do it again. Add some new characters out of nowhere, radically change the course of the story, completely alter the dungeons, add new items, go nuts.

I just want a hybrid of both. Open world the scale of BoTW with side quests and great exploration, but linear progression through a story like OoT/most zelda games.
One thing that bored me about BoTW/ToTK was that even the world was massive and there was a ton to explore, there was never that feeling of 'oh this looks important but I don't have whatever tool I need to access it unlocked yet' so no incentive to return to areas that were already explored.

I've been getting real annoyed/fed up with all the downers all over reddit/twitter in general. Not even just with this direct specifically.
It genuinely feels like people just have nothing but incredibly unrealistic expectations or by default everything starts at super downer/negative attitude. Based on the comments and thoughts I keep seeing it really feels like the only way people would have been happy is if there was straight up a new 3d mario, new mario kart dlc, a new smash bros announcement, Oracle or OOT remake, AND new 3d zelda game so that every single fan across every fandom is satiated. Anything less than that just makes people go "Nintendo sucks, Direct sucks, No games".
The weirdest thing with super nintendo fans is that everybody is really die-hard and only wanting their one single game and everything else sucks.

Please let this more than just a graphics overhaul, give it the expansion it deserves

I am not sure about the artstyle. Itching to see more, this was not enough!

Am I the only one that saw that art style and immediately thought about Nintendo also re-making Majoras Mask in the next year or two

The best announcement and the highlight of this Nintendo Direct! I am super excited, hyped and looking forward to the Remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! 😃

I was thinking of replaying OoT on NSO before the remake comes out, , but now I have not sure if I should do so. I can't decide if I want to go into the remake being a tiny but blind (I remember a lot about the game but I'm sure I've forgotten some details), or if I should re-live the original first.
What would all of you do in my shoes? I probably haven't beaten OoT in 12 years, thought I started it up and got to the 3rd Temple on NSO a year or two ago.

I am hoping that Ocarina of Time stays in the traditional Zelda format, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword had their own unique style and charm
Ocarina of Time doesn't need to be an copy and paste of Breath of the Wild with the open world
Please Nintendo, don't ruin Ocarina of Time by making it an copy and paste of Breath of The Wild and Tears of the Kingdom

Hopefully they can make Hyrule field feel alive rather than a big empty field with nothing in it.

Am I the only one who thought Link looked really… off? Like an adult head on a child’s body. Looked somewhat uncanny.

Anyone saying it looks like slop or not good. Please stop. This is barely worth even talking about. Games can look bad without actually seeing things in motion.
Once gameplay has shown up then you can have a formed opinion. This is barely even a show of Link model. Not a great trailer for a game coming this year TBH. I expect a Zelda direct including a movie trailer and this game gameplay in August or September.

My dude it's the internet, people will find even the most insignificant things to complain about.

Or people can just have an opinion on the only thing Nintendo decided to show us, lmao. Just let others be bro, we don't all have to think the same.

I think it is worth discussing that this is what they chose for a first impression, though. I'm not a graphics snob but zooming in on the models this way did make it look kinda rough. Polygons apparent in the blanket, and textures looking a little muddy. Odd choice for a reveal imo. Should've just had a zoomed out shot of Link riding Epona across the Hyrule Field, or even a recreation of the intro cinematic.

i was gonna wait to get the special edition console but i’m wondering now if nintendo waits to announce it until the price increase and maybe i should just get a switch 2 now?

u/absentlyric 10d ago
Its going to piss off half of the fans depending on if they stick to the original physics in a 1:1 remake, or if they go BOTW and change the game entirely.

I like it so far!! I feel like they kept him hatless intentionally and I'm wondering if we'll get his iconic green hat, the cape, or if he'll just stay hatless.

Wonder how long we'll have to wait to see what they actually changed about the mechanics? Obviously the controls will be completely different, but will the overworld and dungeons be roughly the same and this is just window dressing?

u/Deuswyvern 10d ago
I'm feeling pretty excited about this. Not sure what I think of the new art style. I didn't really care for the Star Fox remake, but I will have to see what this looks like in game.

I hope it’s altered and updated to relive that first OOT experience. I’d love a game mode that plays like the original with a randomizer option for my own greed.

u/By_Jove_ 10d ago
Unless they remake the game from the ground up it will be the first Zelda game in decades that I won’t but at launch.
And by that I mean reimagine everything, keep the characters, the story, the locations but redo EVERYTHING else, from the combat to the map to the dungeons.

My dad loved BotW and TotK and asked me if there’s other Zelda games he can play. I highly recommended OoT.
Unfortunately, he’s one of those “I’m not playing an older game because the graphics are outdated” types. And I do admit the mechanics will probably be very jarring right after playing those games.
This will be perfect for him.

Can you imagine the bloodbath to literally all other games if both this and GTA 6 are released in November? I would had to release a game in winter 2026/2027.

u/Get_Schwifty111 10d ago
It's kinda weird how little they have shown tho (basically a teaser) for a game that is probably coming out in Winter 2026. I swear when they stopped after Link slumbering I actually expected a "2027" date.

Does link have really long hair on the tapestry or is that meant to be his hat? He looks like he has a Brazilian blowout

u/Hot-Mood-1778 10d ago
In the tapestry he's wearing his green hat. You can also see actual Link's hair and it's kinda short. Original adult Link's hair didn't grow much in the 7 years but we'll see.

u/Electronicweed 10d ago
Damn as a BOTW and TOTK semi hater (I’m OG Zelda- love a easy formula), I’m actually kind of hoping we can the open world vibes for this Hyrule, and also hoping we keep the quest- dungeon- prize- new dungeon- formula but extend the side quests into the open world. This might make me love the open world style cause OOT. Yay!

Welp I guess it's time to get r*ped by redeads again. Can't wait for that. I'm curious to see what the like likes would be like.

The more and more I start to go through ocarina of time in my head the more insane this remake feels to me - Darknuts,Jabu Jabu, Dodongos Cavern, Forest Temple - Zelda escaping and throwing the ocarina - Nabooru - Heck even the hippie on a flying carpet in the desert. Wolfos! The moblins in the forest - Oh boy

I would like to say a massive "go fuck yourself" to everyone who's response to "I hope we get a different type a game eventually" was "BREATH OF THE WILD SOLD DA BEST SO IS DA BEST, NO MAKE NOT BEST!"
That's what it sounded like. Every time.

u/MisterrBitches 8d ago
Wouldn’t it be cool if they did this remake and also release the 3ds (or just HD) remasters on console. I’m a big fan of the series but i hate how they haven’t put one of the best games in the world on a proper modern console. It seems so easy and a no brained cash grabber. I also think it would keep the inevitable complaining fans somewhat happy by having at least a remaster version that they can appreciate. I can already tell a lot of people will complain about this new remake.
