The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Essential on Switch 2

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:01The remake uses FSR 1 and SMAA rather than DLSS.
3:18Lighting, material rendering and volumetric fog reshape the temples and outdoor environments.
6:48World-layout changes include entering buildings and crossing Castle Town without loading screens.
10:20Foliage, water and fog react to movement through the environment.
12:26Gameplay updates include jumping, modern camera controls and a revised inventory menu.
14:55Frame-rate tests find consistent 60 fps performance in docked and portable modes.

Glowing lava in the Fire Temple catches the reviewer's eye, but the smaller changes matter too: buildings entered without loading screens, grass responding to Link and a camera that feels more modern. DF Clips' most-watched new upload puts Ocarina of Time's remake under Digital Foundry's technical microscope.

The channel posts excerpts and highlights from Digital Foundry, and this review has drawn nearly 100,000 views. Its narrator describes initial doubts about the art style giving way to appreciation for a darker, moodier Hyrule. Testing finds stable performance in both docked and portable play, while the analysis also picks apart the absence of DLSS and the use of FSR 1 instead.

Viewers are discussing the resemblance to polished game-box artwork from the past, the appeal of enclosed, mysterious maps and hopes for a similar treatment of Majora's Mask. Others pick out the environmental interactions, where foliage, water and fog respond to movement.

There was plenty beyond Zelda among the week's fourteen uploads: Sega's console hardware choices, AI recompilation, RAM fabrication and a PS4 Pro anniversary retrospective. The fresh Xbox FSR analysis is currently attracting views fastest, with a separate Zelda DLSS discussion also gathering momentum.

Daily channel views are running at more than twice their usual level, although the subscriber total was unchanged over the week. DF Clips gained the most weekly views among its nearby gaming peers; OhNoItsAlexx also had elevated daily viewing, while Displaced Gamers was close to its usual level.

What viewers say

I really miss 90s style map design. The tall mountain walls to hide the lack of draw distances gives a feeling of comfort and mystery to the world from a child's perspective. You see vast mountains in the distance, but because you can't visit them your imagination takes over and that's where the magic is. Perfect fairy tale game

The graphics remind me of the old cgi graphics back in the day, or like the super polished 3D models you would see on the cover art of the games back then. I absolutely love it.

Using the Game Over sound for FSR1 was an amazing choice

It sets an example for other remakes. Hopefully Majora's Mask will be remade in the same way by the same people

Loving it so far! I'm 48. Been awhile since I played this.

What I also love about the audio is that they sometimes use the original sounds or have them mixed in the song.

This game helped reignite my interest in gaming, been playing non-stop since release and cherishing every moment. Can't remember the last time I had this feeling on PC or PS5.

They did such a good job with this I am having a hard time believing it is real. I think they perfectly captured what the original felt like in 1998.
