One question folks, what's the length of the original game? I never played it and I love the look of this, I want it. I also want it to be a decent length game, please tell me it's similar to pretty much all the Zelda games since ALTTP?
It is similar in length to Link to the Past. 15 hours give or take, if you're pretty good at these games and don't get super stuck for long periods of time.

The 3D Zelda games are all a lot longer, like double.

Framerate looks rough...
It's oddly variable, there's been drops when multiple pots have shattered and one or two other particle effects, and also the overworld was mostly 30 but then seemed to shift to 60 outside Dampe's hut

Hoping that stuff gets sorted and the depth of field gets toned down a bit, otherwise this looks absolutely lovely <3

The dungeon creator being a puzzle of sorts in itself is an inspired touch, and honestly I think they've done a lovely job of updating the original art while keeping the designs intact

idk what's wrong with me... when this was revealed I thought the art style looked like crap. Now it looks great? But I went back and looked at the reveal and it looks exactly the same lol.


I think Iw as just thrown off by the animated reveal which is jarring in comparison to this art style.

Man this looks really fun but something is odd about the art style?? Like it’s a Mario aesthetics game something, maybe full release will show better environments.

Regardless have to get it for my daughter.

I’m guessing it’s from its 3DS roots. Then when it made it to switch they added a ton of lighting effects on top to make it look “modern” :/

aonuma said something in the treehouse stream that suggested bow wow may possibly be usable everywhere now. Or he might just be hinting at the original usage.

I played the GB game to death so my question is:

is it known, (or can we figure out by watching the E3 presentation) whether this game has additional content to the main story?? or is it step by step identical to the gameboy game??

I want this but dunno... I am not exactly in need of replaying and old game with a new coat of paint. A couple of dungeons or puzzles would be awesome.

I hope someone from the media asks nintendo more details about this,

Never having played the original this looks awesome. Day 1 for sure. Love remakes of classic games, no way I'd get around to actually playing them otherwise.

All the stuff in the new video showing a "dungeon maker" with Dampe is new. Screenshots suggest the DX color dungeon is included, which is new if you only played the original.
