Ocarina of Time Remake + Deltarune

My actual canon opinion about the Ocarina of Time remake is that I'm happy it's going to exist. I suspect that Nintendo is trying to pivot away from the world of Breath of the Wild (which is going to be ten years old next March), and a remake of Ocarina of Time might be intended as a step in a new direction.

Even if it's not, I'm looking forward to seeing the dark fantasy elements of the game rendered in HD. I don't think it's a mere social media blip that, right after the announcement, everyone immediately started talking about what the remake is going to do with the ReDead zombies. I'm delighted that this specific nightmare fuel will now exist for a new generation.

But mainly? I've been losing my shit over the next chapter of Deltarune coming out at the end of the month. Last summer I had to put an almost physical effort into holding myself back from getting too involved with that world and those characters, but playing the game again from the beginning this week is making me feel like I'm losing my grip. And maybe that's not such a bad thing, you know?

I love writing creepy little stories about Ocarina of Time, and I bet I can write some really horrible and upsetting stories about Deltarune too. ❤️
