Logan Played the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake! - NVC 831
We spent a little more than one hour in Hyrule, and it was nowhere close to enough. Join Logan Plant, Tom Marks, and Nick Limon as Logan breaks down his preview of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2. We cover the new art style, updated controls, and what it felt like returning to classic dungeons in 2026. Tom and Nick ask about how puzzles have changed, if it feels like an old game (spoiler: it doesn’t), and what newer Zelda fans can expect from this side of the franchise if they’re mostly experienced with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. After Zelda, the guys talk about Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, The Witcher 3 on Switch 2, and Logan’s overwhelming love for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Celebrate IGN’s 30th Anniversary with a Humble Bundle of hit games (like Subnautica & Remnant II) supporting Child’s Play.
