Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

The week is driven by trailer euphoria (the 10 million views countdown) and a wave of announced Switch 2 purchases. On the sidelines, a repetitive comment campaign about a YouTuber feud clutters the section.

Switch 2 gets bought on the strength of one trailer

~10% of this week's comments mention buying a Switch 2 "just for this game", and several say they already pre-ordered. A few even talk about selling their PS5.

« I'm getting a Switch 2 just to play this game, I don't care. »

Countdown to 10 million views

~5% of comments track the trailer's view counter, mixing endless rewatches with a collective push toward 10M. Many admit watching it dozens of times.

« Me waiting every day for this trailer to hit 10 million views. »

Voice acting rubs some the wrong way

~5% of this week's comments ask for an option to turn voices off or find the acting out of place. A few praise the Ganondorf and Ruto casting instead.

« I hope you can deactivate the voice acting, it really doesn't fit the vibe. »

Comment section hijacked by a YouTuber feud

~4% of comments repeat a daily countdown about two accounts presented as linked. It has nothing to do with the game: it's noise.

The "1:1 remake" question still splits people

~6% of this week's comments discuss changes versus faithfulness, from eased difficulty to hoped-for additions. The tone is more pointed than gushing.

"I'm buying a Switch 2 for this"

"In 4K" humor and King Zora

Dominant take
10 %

The dominant meme: reliving the game's painful moments (King Zora, Water Temple, Dead Hand) "in 4K". The community jokes about its own trauma.

« King Zora shifting sideways for 5 minutes in 4K will be glorious. »

Keeping the horror: Shadow Temple and Dead Hand

Dominant take
8 %

Many beg Nintendo not to water down the Shadow Temple, the Well and Dead Hand. Anticipation is mixed with fear of censorship.

« Ready to be traumatized by the Shadow Temple and Dead Hand in HD. Please Nintendo, don't dumb it down, keep the blood. It is part of the DNA of OoT. »
