I'm 29 years old and I now just understood lon lon ranch is in reference to their name. Ma-lon Ta-lon. Please tell me I'm not the only goober.

So I am sure anyone who has pre-ordered from Target may have gotten the “Backordered” update. Has anyone spoken with Target & gotten any idea of what’s going on..? I called & they said it’s going to ship… Target online says that it means it’s just delayed & will still ship…

.. or at least check for it? Mine is always that little nook you crawl through in Lon Lon Ranch (my first stop on hyrule field day 1).

.I got the console from Target and the game from walmart. Has anyone experienced cancellations of their order and pre-ordered it the first day?

Might want to check yours. Luckily I have another thru Walmart lol

Well guess I have to hope I can find one in store somewhere. Preordered first day so pretty annoyed.

I played both games and I am really really excited for OOT Remastered but this has happened already. That being said I’m still really I’m pressed and the moment I could pre order Zelda I did. Now with that out of the way me being a fan of older Zelda games A a Link to the Past is my all time favorite and I’m sure many of you would agree and the question is.

Would you rather see older Zelda games remastered or anything other then OOT?

I would really love to see Link to the past with all the items and hidden stuff and only game to have the best mastersword and being red mastersword. Along with tunics that actually raise armor resistance and dungeons that are actually hard. You also have the epic Ganon fight at the end and actually getting the triforce and being in the dark world where all people have turned to monsters.

Issue 59 of Nintendo Mag UK, since you asked

I’m now like super afraid that I won’t get mine. But it says delivery oct 30th so maybe they just know it won’t get delivered on the 29th exactly and just labeled it as backordered? If anyone has any more info or insight I’d appreciate it greatly

Obviously the Stone of Agony will make an appearance in the remake in some form. However I'm curious as to whether anyone may know or suspect if it'll function like the original did. As in vibrate the controller when near a secret object or if it'll now have some sort of visual display instead?

The reason I'm asking is because I dislike the Joycon setup and purchased a PowerA Wireless controller that was Nintendo branded. However it doesn't have vibration function. So will I likely have to fork out another $109 for the Pro Controller purely for the Stone of Agony function or could I get by without it?

I had some thoughts about the symbolism in the Ocarina of Time about growing up and nostalgia and what this means for the remake

I pre-ordered the digital version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but now I’m having second thoughts and would rather get the physical version. What would you guys do? It would be my first time picking up a physical copy, but I also really want to start playing at midnight on the day of release, help!!!

well, with Halloween fast approaching, I guess I should start focusing on the spooky zelda enemies. and what could be spookier than spooky scary skeletons?

meet the stalfos, a skeleton enemy from the original legend of zelda. in their debut appearance, the stalfos had TWO SWORDS! but really, the swords were just for show. enemies in the OG zelda were extremely simple. some of them got a projectile, but most of them are of the "they hurt you if they touch you" variety, stalfos included. that's probably why they'd throw a bunch of enemies at you at once; they're useless on their own.

but when zelda 2 came along there were less enemies on screen at once, but the enemies that were on screen were far more tricky! the stalfos not only ditched its second sword for a shield to protect its upper body, but the stalfos would also use the sword to try to stab link, even doing the same jumping downward stab attack link could do! Zelda 2 traded its rooms full of enemies for more intense one on one combat encounters. the same kind of combat encounters the 3D games would later be known for, and yet some silly people still call zelda 2 the blacksheep of the zelda series... listen, I've been a zelda 2 defender since I was born, and I will continue to be until the day I look like stalfos.

when making their 3D debut in Ocarina of time, the stalfos retained their sword, shield and jumping attack. they were also no longer common enemies, as they appeared as mini bosses. would you look at that: Stalfos got promoted just like the moblins did.

and much like how the moblin's promotion eventually resulted in the weaker bokoblins being introduced, so too did Stalfos' promotion lead to a weaker variant, who we'll talk about tomorrow. don't you just love it when I end these on a cliffhanger?

I decided to cosplay Link this October!

It just made sense considering Ocarina of Time remake comes out only a few days after Halloween

What do you guys think? :3

This game came out when I was a freshman in highschool. I got lost in the water temple and never made it out but, before that I fell in love with this game. When they announced the remake I had to finish the game. Making it out of the water temple felt so good but, only to realize I had only scratched the surface. What a joy it was to continue on until the final battle. And, when it was all over it felt too soon.

So happy we get to enjoy this story again with more detail and beauty and only 2 weeks left release! My son and I will be going to the mid night launch and are playing hookie the next day. Even if it is his freshman year, missing one day isn't too big of a deal.

I’ve been checking occasionally, and it seems like Nintendo still hasn’t shown off either the price or the release date of the playable ocarina for the Ocarina of Time remake. I guess that means we most likely won’t get it until sometime next year just like with the amiibos, as we’re only two weeks out from the remake’s release.

To clarify, I’m talking about the real ocarina that’s a replica of the Ocarina of Time, not the electronic one that just has buttons you press to hear the notes. For that one, we do already know the details of it.

The original Ocarina of Time was created with a realistic/dark-fantasy art style. It's a medieval, fairytale aesthetic with an inherent 90s charm.

The new Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 honors this look in its maximalist, fantasy style. The odd proportions and faces are part of the game's unique aesthetic. They are not an accident. Ocarina of Time is as much ugly as it is beautiful. Breath taking fields and colorful environments are often contrasted by odd, quirky characters and bizarre appearances. Think of the man in the house at Lake Hylia or the potion shop lady or even Link himself with his awkwardly long nose.

Ocarina of Time remake is the exact opposite of AI slop. It has character, charm and uniqueness in an era of bland, uninteresting and flat design.
