The Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Is an Event Even if You’re Not Playing It

As I mentioned last week, I'm not playing the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time yet. I'm familiar enough with the game not to be too wary of spoilers, though, so I've been reading around it and watching the responses flood my feeds. It's been a beautiful and uplifting experience. Even from this distance, it's clearly the gaming event of the year (until next week, anyway). Everyone's enjoying themselves. The care and joy Nintendo's Zelda team poured into this remake is infectious, and the mood is celebratory.
