Young hero, two eras
Explore the Kokiri Forest, the cities of Hyrule, the home of the Gorons, and the waters of the Zora. Link experiences the story as a child and as an adult. Nintendo confirms new dialogue and voiced cutscenes, while important tools will be available depending on the time period.
Sprint, jump and precise aim
In the remake, Link can sprint and jump at the touch of a button. When using a slingshot, bow and other tools, motion control supports aiming. According to Nintendo, time also continues when you explore different locations. For the new walkthrough, time-dependent tasks are therefore also compared with the Switch 2 version.
Ocarina and Threads of Time
Ocarina melodies open paths and influence the adventure. In addition to button control, Nintendo mentions the recognition of hummed or played melodies via the microphone. Threads of Time lets you look back on Link’s journey and see your current goals. A tapestry depicts the course of the adventure so far.
amiibo and ZELDA NOTES
Compatible amiibo unlock masks for Link to wear. The characters Young Link and Young Zelda are announced for 2027. The complete assignments will be added to the game after the check. With ZELDA NOTES in the Nintendo Switch app you can, among other things, view achievements, test your knowledge and create and share your own ocarina melodies. Nintendo does not specify any Nintendo Switch Online membership required for this; a compatible smart device is required.
