Bill Trinen Says Zelda Ocarina Of Time Remake Is The Perfect First Zelda

Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen spoke to IGN at the launch event for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2, held at the Nintendo Store in San Francisco. He said he believes it is the ideal entry point for someone new to the series.

Trinen said the game introduces you to the world and characters that serve as the foundation for the games that came after it. He described it as a foundational story for the lore of Zelda that follows Link's journey to becoming a hero.

He also said the game shows Link's connection to Zelda and his relationship with Ganondorf. According to Trinen, it communicates what sits at the moral core of the series, that wisdom and courage combined can overcome power.

Earlier, we reported that the remake was reportedly built on the Tears of the Kingdom engine, and that Monolith Soft had confirmed its role in the project.
