Nash Weedle, whose track record is unfortunately spotty at best, has posted some information he has heard about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake which was originally leaked by NateDrake. Weedle claims that the remake is built for the Nintendo Switch 2 from scratch and that he first heard about the project in 2022, but refrained from saying anything. Monolith Soft has apparently been drafted in once again to help with development and that the announcement will be made in a June Direct and will release at the end of the year. What he thinks could happen with the remake is that it could be split into two parts similar to the Final Fantasy VII Remake with the first part as Child Link part and the second part as Adult Link, though it seems he is not certain on this.
Leaker claims Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake could be split into two parts
But you have to travel between adult and young Link several times
Indeed, just that alone discredits once again these wannabe ‘leakers’… Moreover, I see NO reason for Nintendo to split this game into 2… So once again: this game does not exist until proven otherwise.
To be fair, after you become Adult Link, you only need to return to Young Link twice, to do the Bottom of the Well, and the first part of Spirit Temple. Anything else is just for collectibles and exploration.
That being said, this leak does sound like hogwash. Even if they expand the game’s world and content, there’d be no reason for this to be two games.
Final fantasy 7 was 1 game on multiple discs, now it is multiple games… so they could do this, but it is very very unlikely. All “leaks” taken with a handful of salt at this point.
Yeah, I don’t believe this remake would be 2 parts. But at the same time, pokemon yellow was remade into pokemon let’s go pikachu and let’s go evee.
But these 2 games have nothing to do with Pokemon Yellow anymore, so well… unless Nintendo completely rethinks Ocarina of Time, it remains ridiculous, especially since: might as well make a brand new game in that case.
I am not going to argue, an Oot remake would not do this. I was just pointing out a previous release.
I hope, and I mean I really do hope that the rumor of this remake turns out to be true.
I can’t see this split rumor being true though, sounds ridiculous.
Ever since these ocarina of time rumors have ramped up I can’t stop whistling that early Forest gameplay!
If that is the case I think Nintendo will know what they are doing
That does not sound like something Nintendo would do.
Wut? Kid Link’s adventure is the Deku Tree, Dodongo’s Cavern and Jabu-Jabu’s belly. That’s… it. You can clear that on a lazy afternoon.
You’d have to easily triple or quadruple what the game actually for this to make any sense.
My comment didn’t get sent? What’s the matter, did I complimented the Wii U one time too many? When it comes to disappoint me, you people never disappoint.
I’d be so upset if Nintendo did this, even if the game was larger. It’d be greedy and scummy. Give us the entire game in one package
What if instead of a Part 1 and Part 2 that continues it, it’s more like Oracle Of Ages and Oracle Of Seasons where they’re standalone games but also complement each other and playing both gets you the actual ending, etc.? Don’t know if it would work with OOT but I’m sure they’d figure something cool out. I don’t think that’s gonna be the case, but it’s possible.
Two parts makes no sense as all of the equipment, heart pieces, etc. wouldn’t make sense. How would Nintendo determine what you start with at the beginning of the second game unless they came up with a whole new approach on collecting items?
To be fair it would be absolutely hilarious to have to repeatedly pop in different cartridges to 100% the game(s) LOL
Weirdly enough though…I’m not as hesitant as I thought I’d be after seeing the treatment FFVII has gotten. Sure it’s taken ages, but in the long run what would have been 1 incredible remake with some pacing issues and comprises has turned into an absolutely legendary trilogy. Like, with likely ~120 hours across 3 games for the campaign alone. I wouldn’t mind as much knowing that, but even then it’s pretty unlikely.
What he could have seen/heard, is that there is a MUCH more dramatic shift in artstyle and tone from child to adult link. One so drastic it almost looks like a completely separate release.
Now THAT I would be much more interested in than a separate release a year later. Imagine playing through something that resembles a very pretty remake only to halfway through be transported to something that more closely resembles that Wii U tech demo in terms of visual spectacle and presentation. That would be amazing.
“What he thinks could happen with the remake is that it could be split into two parts similar to the Final Fantasy VII Remake with the first part as Child Link part and the second part as Adult Link,…”
It doesn’t make sense whatsoever. Young Link’s part is too small if you’re just doing the bare minimum. The meat of the adventure is in the Adult Link segment. Also I would believe that, if a remake is, indeed, coming, one of the things Nintendo would do is make time-travelling more integrated and relevant to the experience instead of completely separating the two.
Not even VII:R being divided in three parts made sense. Remake’s most part is pointless stuff in Midgar that could’ve been summed up in three-four chapters at most.
I’m not opposed to reporting on leaks or anything, but Nash Weedle specifically has been so thoroughly and repeatedly debunked that making this an article feels shammy.
BS. Doesn’t work with how OoT works.
That’s a joke or a fake leak Nintendo made to sus out the leakers.
What a ridiculous and mundane idea. “Oh yeah, Nintendo is going to remake one of their most popular games but it’ll be in parts like FF7 was.” C’mon…
They aren’t even sure about what they’re describing here, which is useless. Either u know the game is a completely different multi-release homage to the original, or you’re nowhere near info like that
i don’t like this at all. i really don’t trust nintendo after some really bare bones releases. ocarina of time should be a one completed masterpiece
Can we just stop reporting on leakers in general. I know you guys need content but this a is a spoiler if true and b looks bad on you if not.
There is a star fox direct happening right now! I am commenting here because its the busiest comment section.
Unless they are also remaking content that was originally intended for ura zelda(including stuff that made it to majoras mask)and expanding hyrule field to be as big as twilight princesses(that game was already a spiritual remake) why would they need to split it. It’s not like ff7 where there’s a whole planet to explore. Oot had a pretty small world in comparison to even the gcn era games that can be traversed from one end to the other in about 10 minutes.
Either this is fake or Aonuma and Nomura are drinking buddies: there is no in-between😹
Nash Weedle backtracked and stated on Twitter that it wasn’t a rumour, but speculation. It’s one of the top comments on your Twitter-post.
Such an absurd idea. Besides needing to figure out a good place to split the game into 2 (which I’m sure they could figure out), they’d also have to somehow make the game big enough to require 2 installments. There’s no way that is going to happen, considering how much bigger BotW and TotK are while still working as individual games.
