Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a 4K-era remake — is it worth buying a Switch 2 just for that?
Played the original on N64 as a kid and it honestly shaped my whole taste in games. The new previews say this remake is not a 1:1 copy — they are adding depth and texture so it feels fresh in the 4K era. I do not own a Switch 2 yet. For anyone who has played it or followed the previews closely: is this actually the system-seller everyone says, or should I wait for a bundle/price drop?

- Wait for the holiday bundle, buy it then
Breaking it down: Switch 2 outputs 4K docked, and the previews specifically call out reworked geometry and lighting, not just upscaling — so it will look genuinely different, not like an emulator filter. But Nintendo has run a holiday hardware bundle or game-pack every single year since the Switch launched in 2017. Buying at launch means paying full price for a remake you could play in December with a bundled game for the same money. The only reason to buy now is if you plan to finish it before spoilers hit, which for a 30-year-old story is a weak argument.
