Can the Zelda remake capture the magic of the original?

At times, the trip down memory lane was captivating. I knew where to go and what to do, thanks to a kind of muscle memory. However, on occasion that took away from the experience - with some tasks achieved too easily and some puzzles too quickly because I recalled their solutions.

Some people will love how similar it is, but I have to wonder if Nintendo has played things a bit too safe.

I don't think the developers see it that way.

"Even if the game may look different, we've maintained the essence that the original developers wanted to and hopefully conveyed through the original Ocarina of Time," Fujibayashi said.
