The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 

While impatiently waiting for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake to release on Nintendo Switch 2, we're eagerly gobbling up any trailers, previews, and screenshots that appear.

We were very excited to see a - sadly very short - new trailer appear on Nintendo's Japanese YouTube channel. First, it shows Ganondorf playing a gigantic organ, which sets the tone for the trailer, and then it shows off a few combat scenarios with Link fighting bosses in different areas.

Hidden in the 30-second trailer is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it look at Dark Link, a recurring protagonist featured in many of the series' games. In Ocarina, he's found in the Water Temple and fights you using very similar moves to your own. Along with this, we see Saria and Sheik's full designs, along with the latter's lusciously long ponytail, and get a glance at the Great Deku Tree as child Link looks up at it. 

There's also a fun scene of Link riding Epona and shooting an enemy with arrows. This seems to show that horseback combat has had an overhaul. There's a section in the game where you can take part in a horseback archery course, set up by the Gerudo. In the original, the screen zoomed in to a first-person view of Link's bow and arrow, whereas the combat seen in the trailer is fully third-person. Whether this carries over to the archery trial, we don't quite know yet.

Weirdly, the same trailer isn't currently on the American or UK Nintendo channels, just the Japanese. Either way, it gives more of a peek at the game, including Dark Link, if you wish to watch it. You can also read our Ocarina of Time preview here to see what we thought of it.
