yeah its kinda growing on me xD we might be getting the special edition console and the game when it gets available here. i really hope that first trailer just wasnt that polished yet but i'm still bummed that it looks like a 1:1 remake. i hope the game surprises me lol

@brachypelmide I used fontTools primarily and Pillow (PIL). In the past I had used fontforge, but this suggested a bit more of a batch process. Hand-editing each glyph...is why this work probably hasn't been done to this scale. FontForge would have made nice-looking outline fonts that approximate the raster but this pipeline makes fonts that are the raster.

@win1999 i was expecting more graphically, it does like those fanmade unreal remakes xD i also feel like the art style isn't consistent, the main characters and npcs feel like they're from a different game, it also feels a bit unpolished since link and zelda look different in every scene they showed. I was also expecting they would expand the locations and add stuff they wanted to but couldn't back then due to(...)

(...) hardware limitations. Having a 1:1 remake in 2026 after we already one on the 3DS was super disappointing. I guess they expanded some sidequests through that phone app but... Bruh why do we need a phone app to play the game, that was so silly in my opinion... I also didnt like the voice acting, especially navi's xD I mean the game has potential but i guess i was just expecting way more from it :(

Im reaaaaally hoping that what they showed on the trailer is from older builds xD the main characters were very inexpressive in some scenes and then had more expression in others, i got really bothered by how inconsistent everything looks. I saw some Link renders after the trailer and he looks really good actually... Gotta wait and see how's it going to be really

oh yeah i cant forget about that damn fog everywhere, feels so overused and i really hate how it makes everything look washed out. I emulated the wiiU version of BOTW a while back and they added a mod to remove the fog, made everything look way better lol

@kuroi it's funny i feel like i'm usually the really critical person, and I didn't watch the Switch Direct (i heard it was cringe), but I didn't find the trailer that bad. It does feel a little off, and the inconsistencies you mentioned I think are valid. Granted, I think remakes are generally a letdown, and I can't think of a single remake that I made the original better (except maybe Link's Awakening for GBC)

@kuroi furthermore, your critique on the fog... thats a polarized topic in itself! I think there was a critique when Switch online released 64 games they upped the draw distance, which killed the atmosphere. I think fog was a staple of the 64, and by proxy, the established atmosphere. All that being said, I think this is just an attempt for a new generation to enjoy OoT. Now you gotta play Majora's Mask!

@win1999 i totally understand the fog and the draw distance thing, its a super valid concept in game dev, i just thought it was super weird that there was fog in the main square of the castle town xD things were super close, why was there fog in there? But yeah, it looked good overall but the inconsistencies and the apparent lack of expansion in content/locations were what let me down the most

Gotta wait for the game to release to see if it will grow on me or not xD but yeah youre right, its hard to see a remake that tops the original. but it could still be a good remake, i know it has potential. And yeah i definitely need to start playing majoras mask again and finally beat it after so long xD

@kuroi I did not notice the fog in the courtyard... yeah weird AF. Not to mention how they changed some of the platforms in Deku Tree (no longer free floating...) I've since watched more footage and become a little more bummed. If you ever do finish Majora's Mask, you should try out the romhack "The Missing Link".
