An opinion piece published by Jeuxvideo.com discusses why the author eagerly awaits a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time over Rockstar's upcoming blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 6. While acknowledging the massive hype surrounding GTA 6 and Vice City, the author expresses a stronger personal connection to the 1998 Nintendo 64 action-adventure classic that originally ignited their passion for video games.
The author highlights several memorable elements from the original 1998 title, including its dark yet magical atmosphere, unforgettable musical compositions such as Sheik's theme and the Fairy Fountain, and the overarching quest to save the kingdom of Hyrule from Ganondorf using the Ocarina of Time and the Master Sword. Particular fascination is directed at the game's time-travel mechanic, which allows Link to sleep for 7 years to become the Hero of Time, altering gameplay and transforming familiar locations in Hyrule.
Driven by nostalgia, the author anticipates experiencing powerful emotions through the upcoming remake, imagining themselves exploring every nook and cranny to appreciate updated graphics and reorchestrated music. According to the text, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake is scheduled for release on November 5, 2026, for the Nintendo Switch 2, with GTA 6 launching precisely two weeks later, allowing players to experience both titles back-to-back.
