Zelda Producer 'Nervous' About Fan Reception to Ocarina of Time Remake
Key Points:
- Eiji Aonuma, longtime producer of The Legend of Zelda series, is preparing to release a remake of the 1996 classic Ocarina of Time on November 5, expressing unexpected nervousness about the project.
- The remake is a challenging endeavor as it involves reimagining one of the most acclaimed games ever, rather than creating a new original title.
- Some team members working on the remake had never played the original game, which Aonuma believes brought fresh perspectives to the development process.
- Early previews have been highly successful, with IGN's coverage ranking as their second-best preview of the year and the YouTube video garnering over 1.8 million views.
- IGN plans to provide review coverage and game guides upon the remake's release to assist both returning fans and new players.
