Remaking Ocarina of Time: Can Nintendo recapture the original game's magic?

Nintendo has released a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, nearly 30 years after the original N64 classic debuted in 1998. The original title set the standard for 3D games and remains the highest-rated game in history on Metacritic, pioneering gameplay elements that are taken for granted in modern titles. Rather than reinventing the wheel, Nintendo chose to keep the gameplay very similar to the original classic. However, enhanced graphics and lighting inadvertently made certain scary areas like the Skulltula House even more frightening during testing, prompting developers to make adjustments to preserve the original balance.
