Zeltik had finished Phantom Ganon, but he wasn't finished with the combat. Near the end of his Ocarina of Time remake preview, he reloads his save to keep fighting Stalfos until his allotted playtime runs out. It's a telling little detail in a video with plenty of scenery to admire.
"I Played Ocarina of Time Remake (Hands-On Preview)" remains his busiest upload, three weeks after publication. Nintendo invited him to try sections spanning Kokiri Forest, Castle Town and the Forest Temple. His breakdown finds changes beyond the visual overhaul: quick-swap items, altered dungeon routes and enemies that leave less room for the original's patient wait-and-strike rhythm. He describes combat as faster and deeper, though potentially no harder.
There were no new uploads this week, yet the channel added roughly 410,000 views. Ocarina accounts for all three of its busiest videos right now: the preview, the three-hour lore compilation and "Strange & Interesting Places in Ocarina of Time". The compilation is drawing almost as much daily viewing as the hands-on session, giving the remake discussion a substantial archive companion.
Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is about a third below Zeltik's usual level. Among nearby gaming commentary channels, Luke Stephens had a much larger week for views, while Kevin Kenson was quieter.
For Zeltik's viewers, the Forest Temple offers both sides of the channel's appeal: mysteries to pick apart in the lore archive, and familiar rooms with just enough changed to demand another look.
