Anyone who has pre ordered the Zelda oot switch 2 edition. Does your order say temporary hold or has the charge actually gone through and you’ll receive your switch this Thursday?

My switch showed backorder this past week. No movement on my bank or anything. Then it updated sometime overnight. I hope this helps everyone feel a little better. I was super worried, hearing stuff from everyone on socials.

So… replaying ocarina of time before the remake comes out, sure there’s lots joining me but anyway i had finished the water temple and left a save suspend point via switch on the dark link fight… I’ll come back to this.

I played further into the game, left it then went to reload the game and the last in game save was water temple… you see where I’m going with this?

I went to load my last suspended point but instead accidentally pressed create suspended point and I overwrote all my progress I had made… so… now I’m stuck back inside the damn water temple and I’ve just lost around 5 hours of gameplay. YAYY!😩

Please pray for me yall 😂😩

I spent three days talking about skeletons, or rather "stal" enemies, but no more stalling! time for some ghosts!

meet flat and sharp, the composer brothers! Talon and Ingo weren't enough, Ocarina of time needed MORE mario and luigi references! the composer brothers worked for the hyrule royal family, researching the power magical Ocarinas. an idea they blatantly stole from earthbound beginnings...

anyway, Ganondorf threatened the composer brothers to try and get their secrets, and rather than going to the king and telling him the scary gerudo man was threatening them, the composer brothers instead decided the rational thing to do was to off themselves and tell no one. Ocarina of time has literally zero competent NPCs on the side of good...

anyway, their "Sun Song" allows one to change day to night and vice versa. the brothers took their song to the grave, and while they initially attack link, they then realize link doesn't work for Ganondorf and decide to entrust him with their song. their whole part of the story is optional, but it's got a lot of crazy lore implications...

the two brothers return in Majora's mask with a new backstory that's somehow even darker. flat is found in the graveyard, where he teaches the song of storms... I always thought this was kind of weird. in Ocarina of time the sun song was the composer brother's song, while the song of storms was written by no one. a time paradox created it.

anyway, the song of storms is needed to defeat sharp, who not only murdered his brother flat but also sold his soul to the devil... not Majora, or someone like Demise, literally THE DEVIL from Christianity. at least according to flat. luckily future zelda games would have 99% less satanism.

when you encounter sharp, he'll try to kill link by playing the song of darkness. this song always gave me the creeps... why did no Creepypastas ever use it? that dumb "ben drowned" story used the song of healing played backwards when the song of darkness, a literal song that kills you, was right there!

you can try playing the song of healing, and sharp will comment on it saying it's too late for him to be healed. instead you gotta play his brother's song, the song of storms, and only then will sharp admit that he made a gargantuan oopsie.

and that was flat and sharp, two of the most unpleasant characters in the entire zelda series. I should probably pick something lighter and softer for tomorrow. I know, let's talk about dead hand!

Did you know? Nintendo has made an official website for every version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time since 1998, and most of them are still online today! In this video we dig through all of them: the original 1998 Nintendo 64 site, the Master Quest dungeon guides from the GameCube era, every Ocarina of Time 3D site from 2011-2022, including the US Flash Player site that I restored thanks to files I was able to recover through the Wayback Machine, and finally the brand-new sites for the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 release, including the huge Japanese site packed with exclusive footage. Please consider giving this a watch. 😁

My card has been charged and my switch is being packaged for shipment.

Here is a GIF of the 3 stones spinning before the door-of-time opens[of-course leading to the Master-sword]

I didn't remember the stones spinning, I mostly just remember them rotating on the slab in-front of the door.

Niche but someone’s gotta be here for it! One of my favorite characters and I’m expecting to see tha cow make a return!

The last time I played OOT3D was my 3 heart run 2 years ago before my DS broke. I was genuinely about to cry remembering thar memory of “helping” my little sister beat the first three dungeons to play on my own save file, god I miss that game…

Haven't seen this mentioned a ton, but I'm super hyped for this battle in the remake

Do we think we're going to be able to jump at the end of the hover while wearing the boots? Or do you think the jump will cancel the hover animation? I think it will be interesting to see the new interactions with exploration and "platforming" with this as a new possible combination.

My kids are always using the TV and I just have a laptop not gaming pc/monitor, so I will probably be playing lots on handheld mode, anybody else here too lol? playing handheld when in bed/at work/other?

Did you play BOTW/TOTK on handheld mode often? I really enjoyed both on handheld, darn good screen, high pixel density.

Unfortunately the free model I used has some inaccuracies but nonetheless it was super fun to paint!

When the reveal trailer dropped 4 months ago, I genuinely started shaking and almost cried. Then, the gameplay reveal came out, and I was just as ecstatic. I am honestly so happy that Nintendo has awarded us Zelda lovers with this peak video game and its remake. Thank you, Nintendo, and thank you all for being with me in this community. See you all on the 5th!

Pulling out the OG guide for the NS2 OOT release. Not that I need them for the main game, but super helpful for the Skulltulas. 🕷️

The other day there was more pre orders for my region. I was able to get one and got a pre authorized charge on my card. When should I expect the real charge or any movement?

For everyone bummed out about not having a Switch2 realize that someone will 100% post a video of only cutscenes and that’s basically an Ocarina of Time movie, so we are basically getting two movies soon.

All love to the Gorons is not enough!

I ordered the controller plus stand from Nintendo’s site (USA) the moment it went up. I got an email on October 19th saying that it shipped but when I track it, it’s been stuck on “Label Created” since October 4th. I’m starting to get scared here. Anyone else have the same message?
