The company provided few details about the “Ocarina of Time” remake on a livestream presenting upcoming titles, saying only that the game will arrive this year, the 40th anniversary of the series.<\/p>\n
Its original version on the Nintendo 64 console was a 1990s landmark, with an immersive, detailed 3D world and a combat system that allowed players to “lock on” to individual enemies — today an industry standard.<\/p>\n
Players controlled green-clad protagonist Link in a time-hopping adventure that straddled both his childhood and adulthood, as he confronted dark lord Ganondorf to save Princess Zelda.<\/p>\n
“Ocarina of Time” is regularly celebrated as one of the best games of all time in the gaming press, and has a 99 percent score on review aggregation site Metacritic.<\/p>\n
A previous 2011 remake for Nintendo’s 3DS handheld updated the original’s graphics to take advantage of the machine’s 3D capabilities.<\/p>\n
More than 140 million “Zelda” games have been sold worldwide, with the last instalment, 2023’s “Tears of the Kingdom”, becoming the fastest-selling yet.<\/p>\n
A live-action “Zelda” movie is planned for release in April 2027.<\/p>\n
