By Nintendo\u2019s count, that gives Ocarina of Time the strongest worldwide<\/strong> first-four-day sales of any Nintendo-published game on Switch 2 so far. It also puts the remake on track to take a real run at the Nintendo 64 original\u2019s 7.6 million lifetime sales, along with the Nintendo 3DS version\u2019s 6.4 million. The release also helped push the system to its best sales week in the US this year, with the Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition console getting a lift too, and there\u2019s even been a reported spike in actual ocarina sales.<\/p>\n\n

The remake is also sitting on a 96 Metacritic score<\/a><\/strong>, plus a 9.6 user rating from more than 11,400 players on the site. Nintendo added overhauled visuals, voiced cutscenes, expanded dialogue, symphonic music, a manual jump button, a free camera, and microphone ocarina input. If you want the definitive version, this is probably the one to get. Even so, some longtime fans are still disappointed that Nintendo didn\u2019t include Master Quest-style extras, and the company still hasn\u2019t broken out sales figures for North America or Europe.<\/p>\n\n

You can download The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time now on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo is clearly treating it as one of the centerpiece releases<\/strong> for Zelda\u2019s 40th anniversary, and also as something younger developers inside the company can study while looking back at the design of the 1998 original.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
