the left image is of a native port recompiled for PC, and the right one is an emulator being developed to run Switch 2 games

    OG Recompiled is the best way to play it IMO. It adds all the QoL changes you could ever need without messing with designs and dialogue unnecessarily. OoT never really was a hard game but I think they made it a little too beginner friendly in the Switch 2 one. Though I will say some visual aspects of the newer one are impressive like the fog on the ground but that‘s such a tiny thing it doesn‘t actually matter.

      Is the new one in your face about the hand holding? Because I’m currently playing through the GCN version (which I believe is a straight N64 port) and Navi will give you a hint every 10 minutes or so about what is “next”.

        Yes it is. Far more than the original, which was already a really easy game.

        To give an earlygame example, the Deku Scrubs right before Queen Gohma (now called Dread Gohma, for some reason) have been changed. They are much closer together and they have literal spotlights that flash on each of them in order of left to right.

        23 is number 1 was already piss easy to figure out, but they remake developers must have felt that it was too hard. So they dont even say 23 is number 1 anymore. They just straight up say 2,3, then 1. Then Navi repeats it to you right after they say it.

        From what I have seen the Switch 2 version is much more handholding than the original and Navi is more talkative too. The „Nintendo hired this guy“ or „Focus L“ memes are actually kind of accurate to an extend. Minus the tone which remained the same as far as I can tell. But I have only seen live stream footage of it and didn‘t play it myself.
