During the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, Nintendo gave us our first, proper look at the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (following its reveal back in June). The release date was also announced: November 5th worldwide!

At the end of the Nintendo Direct, the second trailer for the game was shared:

And here’s a recap of the details shared during the Nintendo Direct:

Improved performance and presentation: Visuals have been completely overhauled down to the textures of each material, actions feel snappier and more satisfying, load times are faster, the game runs much smoother, sounds have been refreshed and the game includes symphonic orchestral music.
Greater movement and control: Jump and run freely with newly added button commands and enjoy improved camera control with the Right Stick.
A more immersive Hyrule: Characters that Link meets are fully voiced during expanded cutscenes and have a great deal more to say. Freely move the camera in fully remodeled locations for a more dynamic experience with various new details. The day/night cycle now continues no matter where you are, even in towns.
Threads of Time: At any point during the adventure, see the progress you’ve made in the story and check your next objective. A large tapestry will also gradually fill in as your journey continues.
Play ocarina tunes: Hum a song that Link has learned and he’ll play it on his ocarina! The game will also respond to instruments like the new playable and electric ocarinas coming later this year.

If you want to see more of the game in action, here’s a video with nearly 8 minutes of additional footage:
