The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not only one of the finest entries in the series, but also one of the best video games ever made. Despite its immense popularity, the game has never received a home console remake, having only been remade for the Nintendo 3DS. This remake includes slightly updated visuals and some new features, like new controls, first-person shooting, touch-based inventory system, and more. Even without a home console remake, the game is currently available on Nintendo Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.
