The recent remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo Switch 2 has left gamers questioning their decades-old memories, thanks to some unexpected changes in character design. Fans are buzzing about the revelation that Kokiri Forest's fairies aren't just glowing orbs but fluffy balls with light emission capabilities. Meanwhile, it turns out Hyrule guards have been wearing jorts all along, a detail that has been hiding in plain sight for 28 years. The remake's enhanced graphics bring these previously unnoticed details to the forefront, causing quite a stir among fans. While some are taken aback by the fairies' new appearance, many find the jort-wearing knights endearing. Meanwhile, Boundary Break host Shesez has discovered that ReDeads, Ocarina of Time's creepiest enemies, have soulless eyeballs hidden behind their masks. The remastered game launched last week and has already been subject to intense online scrutiny, with dataminers unearthing potential hints for new content, speedrunners discovering game-changing glitches, and players getting used to the updated controls.
