As the final announcement in its latest Direct, Nintendo has revealed that it’s officially remaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2.

And while Nintendo has since teased this remake’s existence in subtle ways, it has now finally shown it off for the first time.

Clocking in at a little over one minute, the first teaser for this remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time didn’t show very much. Instead, it merely set the stage for the game’s narrative while briefly showing off a new character model for the young version of Link. Based on what we can see of Link, it’s clear that this version of Ocarina of Time will receive some massive graphical improvements on Switch 2, which will distinctly set it apart from past versions of the title that released on Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and Nintendo 3DS.
