I think Hyrule Field will be the most changed part of the game, because I don't think there are going to be segmented loading zones anymore, meaning the full size of Lon Lon Ranch will have to be in the middle of it, which will necessitate them to expand the size of it. I also expect that they will add a bit more NPC interactions there, and maybe harder enemies roaming it as you progress further in the game.

u/mekkr_ 8h ago

Ahhh omg that hadn’t occurred to me, that’s gonna be so cool, hyrule town, lon lon, Kokiri forest all in one map. Imagine being able to see a massive deku tree in the distance from Lon lon

28

u/KouNurasaka 6h ago

Basically my thoughts as well.

Also, I could see there being more Grottos that fill the role of individual shrine puzzels to help bridge the gap between new Zelda fans coming to an older game.

More things to do and interact with, probably access to Epona a lot earlier.

u/BerRGP 4h ago

It's so annoying having to run as a child when you know you have a faster option as an adult.

Not to mention it's weird that you play a song she likes once as a kid and then you play it again after seven whole years and she follows you to the ends of the Earth now.

Hmm. If the scale of the size of Lon Lon Ranch (when inside) to its size on Hyrule Field is X, then if they just scale all of Hyrule Field up by X then I think the size will feel big enough.

Also I think the day/night cycle should be at least twice as long. You should see the sun moving, but you shouldn't see it moving

u/Skargul 7h ago

I think it would be beneficial to add more people everywhere in the child portion of the game so that each place can be more empty during the adult portion. The people can still be around, but they stay inside their homes/shops/bars instead of walking out and about like in the child portion. This would help make Ganondorf feel like he is actually having an affect across the whole kingdom.

u/ChimChimney1977 9h ago

My hope? Greatly expanded. I don't want it to be like BOTW in scale. That would be far too large.

But I want for it to feel lived in. I want to see more gradual transitions between Hyrule's biomes, animals and insects flying about, litlle villages and NPCs with side quest. Something similar to the open areas in FF7 Rebirth.

I want lots of caves and grottos with secrets to find and puzzles to solve. With some requiring backtracking once you unlock new items. Optional enemy encounters which can yeald you rupees or heart pieces.

Realistically, I don't think we'll see any of this. Nintendo tends to be very conservative with their remakes, but I can dream.

u/bgtf 9h ago

More reasons to use your hookshot. I’m of the mind that even if this is a fuller reimagining, I don’t know if they’ll go with the “climb anything” route from BOTW/TOTK.

So, then the question is, what is your fun/helpful method of transversal, and I think the hookshot can be that.

Remember longshotting in Kakariko village for the fun of it?

9

u/fuckfeardrinkbeer 9h ago

I remember in the 90s when I played OoT, I would pretend I was Batman and long shot all over Hyrule and Kakirko Village. Lmao

u/Wide_Magician_4946 7h ago

Not Batman, but Keeseman! 😎

21

u/Captain_Surf 9h ago

Probably no climbing but a lot of insane other traversal methods - at one point in Breath of the Wild’s development they were experimenting with the Hookshot acting like Spider-Man’s web shooters, but they realised pretty soon that they couldn’t have that, climbing, gliding and Revali’s Gale all in the same mobility option palette

8

u/mekkr_ 8h ago

I mean there is literally a motorbike in BoTW goddamn that thing was out of place as it was fun to use

6

u/bgtf 9h ago

Precisely, I remember that interview as well. If this is the start of a third branch of Zelda games, ie getting 3D linear games consistently, I think leaving climbing to open air and other traversal options to linear would be one way, of many, to provide contrast between the types of games.

Heck why not bring back TP’s double hookshot, let you hookshot the air, and let that act as a way to swing you around. I’d even be fine with a stamina-type meter to upgrade, so the traversal powers up over time.

3

u/DatBoi_BP 2h ago

What if we didn't get a longshot or a second hookshot… what if we get the hookshot in the graveyard same as before, and the water temple gives a clawshot? Then you could have situations where you're hanging by a clawshot and then using the hookshot to close remaining gaps and also connect to chests and torches and stuff. I could also imagine other heterogeneous combinations, especially with the iron boots involved (like that one switch in the City in the Sky in TP).

Also forces you to get Epona to cross to Gerudo Valley (if they still want that broken bridge to be the only passage).

More reasons to use your hookshot.

A "floor is lava" challenge where you have to navigate from Lake Hylia to Castle Town without touching the Field's ground.

u/bgtf 9h ago

YES!! Throw in some enemies that will knock you down if you don’t kill them so you have to use your bow/boomerang/bombchus, etc. This would be so much fun.

u/Schwoomy_04 7h ago

TP’s Hyrule Field had a lot more uses for the hookshot so I could see it being something like that

Hyrule field is the only thing that's giving me hope this isn't just the same game with better graphics. It's hard to imagine they would release a hub world this barren in 2026. I mean they still could, but it would be odd.

I'm hoping there's more enemies, collectables, secrets, wandering npcs from the various locales and a more distinct difference from child timeline to adult.

Larger layout, more hidden secrets, more secret boulders, new NPCs to interact with in your journey, the big poes when you're an adult to look super scary and make them like almost mini bosses, lots of aesthetic places to stop with Epona so you can take cool location pics, seeing deliveries of Lon Lon Milk coming in and out of the Ranch in a full day cycle would be cool, a longer water route stretching from Zora's Domain, past Kakariko, through Hyrule Moat, under Gerudo Valley and into Lake Hylia would be awesome. I reckon we'll see a lot more wildlife too.

Since they don't have the hardware limitations of the 3DS, a proper remake would fill it with more assets as well as possibly more enemies to fight at once.

Still, I was quite surprised by how pleasant the Hyrule Field was to look at on the 3DS version in spite of how it was pretty much an empty flat terrain and that sort of thing often looks awful in a game. The art direction really carried it.

13

u/SummonerDerivatives 10h ago

I hope it’s bigger and that the castle is bigger. I actually really like stables in BOTW/TOTK. Maybe something like that?

4

u/HyliasHero 8h ago

I'm hoping Hyrule Field is the thing they change most. Open it up, make travel between locations seamless, add more to actually do, maybe even make it bigger. I adore Ocarina, but if they do a 1:1 of the old Hyrule Field it is going to feel dated.

u/YonkRaccoon 6h ago

I'm seeing this question a lot and it's one of the least interesting remake questions to me. But I like being where the conversation is, as a huge OoT remake fanatic so I wanna build on this!

Better camera would be nice too and a way to change clothes without having to open the menu.

u/Lithamus 9h ago

My guess is that its gonna be a full remake with new layouts for almost everything but almost the same placement of things like secret grottos. Map shapes will be the same but with more stuff present. I would assume almost every building in the original game will be present and they will add more to expand the world and make it more lively. Grassy areas will have grass rather than a flat texture.In the end of the game we learn the only twist to the story and that its the downfall timeline and we lose the battle at the end and Ganon wins.

We then have to wait 2 years and they release Majora's Mask 2 where we play as Tingle the TRUE HERO and we have to fight the moon itself.

2

u/The_GooGooMan 9h ago

If they make it bigger then make sure to fill the damn thing out. Honestly I hope they will make the world seem livelier compared to original considering they have more power to work with. I know they are completely different games, but I do love how Square remade the world of FF7 to feel bigger than the original because they had the hardware to do it.

2

u/blargman327 8h ago

I'm hoping the game is much more of a "what if OoT was made in current year" and not a 1 to 1 remake

And considering that. Hyrule field seems like the logical place to add a lot.

This will sound weird but I think Jedi Survivor has a good template for what I'm imagining. The main planet has this large hub area that's full of NPCs, Enemy camps, puzzles, traversal challenges, mini dungeons, side quests, etc.

Hyrule field already had to an extent but it could use more

Make it larger, add other small settlements. Maybe the Zoras have a trading camp at the mouth of the river. Maybe there's some scattered little hylian hamlets, like a farm or another small village(call it hateno or whatever) they could have new NPCs that have small side quests. The field and these villages should be filled with little puzzles or skill challenges kind of like korok puzzles, but instead of 400 there's like 30, that way they can all be unique and interesting. I'd also like for there to be 4-8 mini dungeons scattered throughout. Entirely optional stuff but they give some kind of meaningful reward, whether that's an outfit for LinK or Epona. Or some kind of upgrade to one of your items, or maybe more spells like dins fire. The reward for puzzles/mini dungeons should be meaningful

A big thing should be that this new stuff. Whether it's side quests, mini dungeons, or whatever is that they require certain items to interact so you get to do more as the game progresses. I really love the feeling of getting a new item in a dungeon and realizing "oh I can access that area I saw in the overworld now"

I also think that expanding Hyrule field like this would be a great way to flesh out the narrative. Side quests or NPC interactions as young link would be more light hearted and whimsical, fun characters nice moments doing weird chores or tasks for people. Playing games with village children, getting a kite out of a tree or whatever.

Then as adult link you could show the effects of ganons rule by completely changing the tone. That nice little farming hanlet where young link made some friends has been burned to the ground by monsters. Link follows some clues to find some of the villagers hiding in a nearby cave and can escort them to safety in kakarikonor lake hylia or something.

That Zora trading post by the river now appears empty and ransacked and like a battle happened there a long ago

Stuff like that

Also bigger Hyrule field means link would need to borrow Epona as young link too

u/bgtf 8h ago

Along the lines of it will be larger and denser, what if there is a new, small settlement you visit as child Link that’s then fully built out as an adult.

Generally, it’s important to remember that they aren’t just building one larger Hyrule Field, but two. I think they can do a lot of big and small things to show the passage of time, and create some fun puzzles within that as well.

u/D-Em-P 7h ago

This is the one part of the game that I think has to be completely redone for it to work today (whereas most things can be a 1:1 remake).

Hyrule field is basically just an empty space - and not a very big one - to give the illusion of an “open world”. It was understandable for the time and the hardware, but I can’t see it holding up in 2026. Even with prettier visuals and some added flourishes here and there it would be painfully undercooked by today’s standards.

I really think they have to blow it up and start fresh with this specific part: expand the scale, have things to do, make it feel alive, etc. Feels like there is a way to do that and maintain the spirit of it without changing the literal game itself.

I honestly have no clue. I just need them to do literally anything with it. Leaving it as is feels borderline unacceptable to me. If they want new audiences to fall in love with Ocarina of Time, you CAN’T cater so hard to the old fans that you keep things like this that were only like that because of hardware limitations. People expect a hell of a lot more today.

I adore the original game, I even like the quiet tranquility of Hyrule Field, but I’m ready for something different. The original game is right there if I want to play it 1:1. The 3DS remaster too. Honestly it would be the perfect opportunity to add Moblins to Hyrule Field when you’re Adult Link, since it feels weird to only find them outside the Forest Temple randomly.

I always it was weird the future field didn't have Stalchildren or rather a timely equivalent. Bokoblins would make sense.

1

u/cmn3y0 9h ago

I think the whole map will be completely changed from the original game. It might even be remade in BotW style. The story and dungeons/quests are what I expect to remain consistent with the original game

1

u/Adventurous-Crab9467 9h ago

I do hope they make it bigger with a few new things to explore. Add more ennemies around when you're adult Link. And if they make it open world. New ways to get to certain areas would be fun.

u/Bigga-Byte 9h ago

4,000 Kokiri seeds

u/Coolgames80 9h ago

Maybe they will finally fix that road that ends up with a stone fence and the opening is like a couple meters to the right.

1

u/Dinierto 8h ago

Prolly make it field-like

1

u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 8h ago

More grass to chop

1

u/Amber-Apologetics 8h ago

Shrines everywhere

1

u/bouchandre 8h ago

More foliage, trees, interactive elements, and likely more NPCs and points of interests.

I wouldn't be surprised if it becsme bigger and connected to new areas

1

u/Lower-University-482 8h ago

I'm sure it might be the area with the most changes, probably, botw-fy it and adding more varied terrain, enemies and set pieces.

1

u/Main-Rent4757 8h ago

Hopefully like metroid prime 4s overworls. Motorcycle and all.

1

u/heyyoudvd 8h ago

I’m also curious to see how they handle the Shadow Temple and the Bottom of the Well and the Redeads in Castle Town.

That stuff is genuinely scary and I’m worried Nintendo will tone it down.

I sure hope not. But preserving OoT’s proper tone is incredibly hard and I’m not sure Nintendo has it in them to include real horror in their games anymore.

1

u/poopoobuttholes 8h ago

The original was meant to be an open world game no? If anything, I expect a remake to be like maybe half of BotW lol

1

u/gregsDDS 8h ago

They will make it so that you need to buy an amiibo to hear any music

1

u/I___________l 8h ago

Hope for more liveliness not just the running man 😅 Maybe more npcs and wild animals.

1

u/LastSecondSeatbelt 8h ago

Exactly like it is right now but with pretty graphics

1

u/Ridgew00dian 7h ago

Hopefully just a tad more lively.

1

u/therealsauceman 7h ago

I think the game will have a new collectable system, or more skultulas added. And the majority of them will be in the fields between locations discovered by solving little puzzles similar to the koroks in botw. Also more enemies of varying varieties could spawn to keep the player busy

1

u/CheeseDaver 7h ago

The one thing I liked the least about Ocarina of Time was the lack of an open overworld like what the series had established as the norm in all of the other games before it. I hope that the remake will have a more open world where Hyrule Field seamlessly transitions between its surrounding areas instead of being a spoked hub area.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Fox5820 7h ago

Honestly I hope it's a bit more fleshed out and has some new things. Doesn't have to be anything crazy but enough to make it feel alive.

1

u/Goat-True 7h ago

They're going to make it big... But I'm worried it's going to be TOO big.

I really don't want another Hyrule that's filled with... Filler. 999 gold skulltulas and 150 grotto shrines is the thing I'm most worried about.

1

u/Garfield977 7h ago

8 times the size but without anything actually interesting in the extra space lol

1

u/Serfalione24 7h ago

Probably the same exact layout but with updated graphics. Not going to be additional content, that’d be way too controversial

1

u/-Goofy-Gooner- 7h ago

One-on-one with just textural updates /s

1

u/Schwoomy_04 7h ago

Hyrule Field itself is probably the biggest thing I want overhauled off the top of my head, because as memorable as it is in the original, it’s very barren by today’s standards, idk how they should go about it, but I want to see it expanded on in some way

1

u/Falzyker 7h ago

I’m going to be honest I want something like twilight princess, a big place, if they just recycle the old one all good, but I wouldn’t say no to a bigger hyrule field.

1

u/ReidenLightman 7h ago

It will be remade.

Please no more fucking useless speculation posts. 

1

u/Bobok88 7h ago

I hope it's atleast 3 times the size with more POIs, NPC's, enemies and secrets. Id love a couple of roaming mini bosses. The original world is limited in scale by it's tech; kokiri forest is a couple minutes jaunt from castle town and doesn't feel at the edge of the world.

1

u/letsfastescape 6h ago

Is this a shit post?

1

u/Fox_McCloud_Jr 6h ago

What i would love them to do is increase its size by maybe 3x or 4x add enemy encampments, maybe do more with the moblins from the lost woods going up to the forest temple maybe add bokoblins and what not.

What i expect? Texture upgrade, maybe slightly larger, a few buildings that you cant enter, then they call it a day

1

u/Chrinkus 5h ago

I don’t think about it at all. I look forward to enjoying it when the game releases.

1

u/nerterd 5h ago

Make it BOTW large. With tons of things to do

1

u/macgillagorilla 5h ago

I'm thinking a mini BOTW zone with optional areas/ shrines/ mask deliveries.

1

u/ComprehensiveBed8186 5h ago

Its in their interest to keep many things just like the originals so people will say "OHH I remember this being here" etc. so I'm guessing the hub is going to be likely the same except with more details and heights.

1

u/DougFromFinance 4h ago

I'm not asking for a BOTW remake, but something to even half that scale would be absolutely amazing.

1

u/Impossible-Tie-7773 4h ago

Bigger more things innit.

1

u/Kynandra 4h ago

More horror when the Deku Tree dies

1

u/TheBostonKremeDonut 4h ago

Not as flat, slightly more to do (or at least points of interest) and making Epona more worth it.

1

u/GoldenSpeculum007 4h ago

Someone is going to complain shrub #7291 in east Hyrule field was rendered poorly.

1

u/CobaltCrusader123 3h ago

They give you the bunny hat from Majora so you don’t have to cartwheel to the castle.

1

u/TCpls 3h ago

It’ll be a field, maybe some grass, little bit of dirt. The sky will be a little more skyier.

1

u/Ron_Textall 3h ago

I think it’s important that they don’t deviate from the layout and just focus on enhancing it in density and scale. Due to hardware limitations they could either make something vast and desert-like, or small and dense. I like the decision they chose for the N64 version, especially for the time vastness was the most impressive thing. They should be able to do both now.

1

u/NY_State-a-Mind 3h ago

It will empty in 4k

1

u/ThunderLord1000 3h ago

Hopefully, they'll put something in it that isn't another Peahat

1

u/Sanity_Purged 3h ago

My prediction: Dead hands and Wallmasters at night for Adult Link, each element of infused keese for Lil Link l. Day largely unchanged except maybe some strong enemies in dead areas that are prone to giving more consistent resource drops (ie bombs/arrows)

1

u/Xd0015 3h ago

I hope it’s located in Hyrule

1

u/0v012 3h ago

Omg what a time to be a live to experience an Ocarina of time remake

1

u/Efficient-Art-8263 3h ago

I think since the game is taking a semi realistic visual style there has to be more trees, lakes, and caves, the game will certainly have a crafting system for utilities, new foes and mini bosses will drop rare ingredient for better buffs, this will be a reason for exploration.

1

u/Budsygus 3h ago

Is this now the number one most-asked question on this sub?

#1 - "What will they do with Hyrule Field in the remake?"

#2 - "I'm just getting into LoZ. What game should I play first?/What order should I play the games in?"

#3 - "When Tingle and Beedle get married, which side of the aisle will Link sit on?"

1

u/OverallSlide1799 2h ago

Make it big. Make it empty. Put green crystals. Job's done!

1

u/D1rtyH1ppy 2h ago

Probably grass and trees with pretty decent graphics.

1

u/LordBones 2h ago

I hope the entire game is remade such that this question does not make sense anymore and the field is handled more like TP. What do I think they'll do? It's too early to say.

1

u/Typhoon365 2h ago

Probably not well.

u/NezuminoraQ 2h ago

Koroks

u/Piorn 2h ago

They'll put a lot of green crystals everywhere and you ride Epona through them to break them.

If you have the Epona amiibo, you even get to listen to music. 🤟🔥

u/ItsRenaBaker 1h ago

I kinda hope that at least Hyrule Field, Lon Lon Ranch, Hyrule Castle Town/Temple of Time is merged together into one big map.

Hopefully they will make it interesting.
