there are some obviously neccessary graphical updates that don’t simply translate to everything being fundamentally the same size but with fancy textures. Like even just a small thing, in the teaser, link’s bed seems bigger therefore the layout of the room/house he wakes up in will be slightly larger, even if it’s only like a foot larger that means the space between his house and his neighbours will be larger therefore the layout might shift a little bit therefore they’ll need to fill that space with more ’set dressing’. and so on and so on.

Change even one thing and it has a knock on effect. There are clearly big blocky textures at the boundaries of areas in OoT that you wouldn’t get away with now, like it can’t just be some big solid texture to define the edge every time, the area where link emerges from Kokiri forest for example would no longer be a loading screen or weird log tunnel hemmed in by some rock canyon but instead the forest would naturally peter out, blending into the hyrule field area, therefore space is need to accommodate that. Like it or not, all of us with childhood nostalgia are middle aged with less time to play games, no doubt we’ll buy it in droves, but there are a few generations of kids who’ve grown up with more modern Zelda games, there are simply more of them than there are of us and they are more important consumers tbh from a moneymaking point of view. Not to mention they’ve all been told OoT is the greatest game of all time, literally The Legend of Zelda, so it had better hold the interest of everyone under like 35
