Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda series, shared concerns about the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time before its November 5 launch, according to a report. The game, widely praised as a landmark title, will run at 60 frames per second on the new hardware, though Aonuma admitted uncertainty about its reception.
Aonuma noted that younger developers, unfamiliar with the original game, contributed to the remake's design. He credited their input for shaping the experience, though the project's distinct gameplay style from recent Zelda titles may challenge new audiences. The involvement of multiple studios in the remake's development has not been confirmed.
Despite Aonuma's reservations, Nintendo plans to release the remake two weeks before Grand Theft Auto VI, signaling confidence in its market appeal. However, details about the next mainline 3D Zelda game remain vague, with estimates suggesting it may not launch until 2029 due to the current pace of development.
