"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time reimagines the gameplay and design foundations of the original title to adapt to today's times without betraying the spirit of the game."

What the Companion App Zelda Notes Can Do

The "Zelda Notes" app is intended for mobile devices and complements the remake, as HobbyConsolas writes. Nintendo has presented several features there that go beyond a simple second-screen feature:

• More than 2,000 quiz questions – Players can test their knowledge about Hyrule.
• Challenges – additional challenges that go beyond the main game.
• Sheet music unlock – sheet music can apparently be unlocked through the app, a direct reference to the iconic music of the N64 classic.

Which platforms the app supports (iOS, Android, or both) and how deep the integration into the main game goes, is not revealed in the available reports.

What You Can Expect from the Remake

The remake understands itself as a careful modernization of the 1998 N64 classic, according to Nintenderos. The "ten major changes" accordingly include both technical and gameplay adjustments, without sacrificing the soul of the original – though concrete details about these changes are not mentioned in the available excerpt.

For you, this means: Nintendo is apparently not only relying on a graphical overhaul, but is also bringing its own app component with Zelda Notes, which expands the gaming experience. Anyone who knows the Ocarina melody has a new reason to keep their smartphone next to the controller through the app.

Verdict: Remake with App Bonus on November 5

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake releases on November 5 and brings "Zelda Notes" as a smartphone companion that can do more than just play a side role. Anyone who wants to experience the classic anew or discover it for the first time should keep an eye on further Nintendo announcements – the Spanish sources suggest that not all details have been revealed before release.
