The top 10 games on the charts right now show appreciation for nostalgia with Zelda: Ocarina of Time leading the way, followed by Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, a continuation of 2009’s Wii Sports Resort. Mario Kart World is also a new title for an old favorite franchise sitting beside Final Fantasy VII remakes.
The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake made a lot of big changes to the title that simply modernized the beloved title. The most obvious among them is the graphic quality. While those who played the original played with the blocky 3D graphics that were top quality for it’s time, the new game has a beautiful and detailed quality made possible by modern video game technology. Other changes were simple quality-of-life updates, including manual jumping, seamless transitions, an added Threads of Time feature that helps keep track of your current mission, and more.
Overall, these changes have been well received, which can be challenging sometimes when changing such a popular game. Reviewers came out early, giving it top scores.
