Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Refuses to Fix One Old Disappointment

With The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake finally available on Switch 2, there's a lot for longtime fans of the original N64 game to rediscover, especially considering how many changes Nintendo made to an adventure that many of us have already finished multiple times. From giving Link a fifth bottle to making the Water Temple considerably less frustrating with improvements to the Iron Boots, the remake has addressed several things that players have complained about since 1998. But apparently, Nintendo didn't think every frustrating aspect of the original Ocarina of Time needed to be fixed. In fact, according to series producer Eiji Aonuma, some of those frustrations were deliberately preserved because they're part of what made the original game so memorable.
