The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time landed on Switch 2 this week, and a new side-by-side video from Nintendo Life shows exactly what the facelift looks like against its predecessors.

The comparison lines up three generations of the game: the Nintendo 64 original, the 2011 3DS remake, and the fresh Switch 2 version. According to Nintendo Life, the classic "looks better than ever" in its latest outing — a notable bar given how substantially the 3DS release already reworked the game's textures and models.

For players curious how much visual ground the game has covered since 1998, the footage makes the progression easy to track: character models, environments, and lighting have all been touched across the three releases, with the Switch 2 edition representing the sharpest presentation of Hyrule's most influential adventure yet.

The re-release gives a new generation of Switch 2 owners a native way to play one of the most acclaimed games ever made — and gives veterans another excuse for a nostalgia run.
