Hayden Doucette :
i don’t care at all about the loading screen but they definitely didn’t purposely add it for nostalgia reasons

It took like literally 2 seconds. Who's complaining about this?

Fans are not torn. Gamers are torn. Fans love everything this game is doing because it’s the artistic vision and direction the original creators of Ocarina of Time have always wished they could have done originally.

Nintendo - "And then we told them the loading screens caused by slow hardware were intentional for nostalgic effect"

I don’t care about loading screens but wtf are you talking about “we kept loading screens to keep the essence of the original” like bro just be honest and say it was for optimization 😭

Lmfao def not intentional - it’s fine if it is there but such bs to make it seem like they did this FOR US lol It was prob just a technical limitation for performance.

Everyone has strong opinions on stuff they have no clue about! Music transitions and lighting changes would have to seamlessly blend when entering and exiting new areas and would make it feel like a different game entirely.

They did it because their system can’t handle it

It's good that they left them in. It adds to the atmosphere to have a slight pause between major areas.

These comments stress me out. The loading screen is intentional😭 the literally just made 2 open world games what makes u think they cant do it for this. The loading is like flipping to the next chapter in a book. A clear marker that indicates a new story.

I must not play many new games because I did not know loading screens were a controversy now.

Biyan Huli :
People who complain never played the original game. They don’t know the mechanics of original game where loading screen matters because some areas physically change with key items or time. They literally said it, to keep the essence of the original game! If they did away with loading screens it actually would change the mechanics of how the game is played

People literally find anything to complain about, the negativity in the gaming space is unreal. And gaming journalists who share the negativity, add to the negativity. just leave it, don't give it attention

I believe this was deliberate to draw a harder line between modernization and open world

NO FANS ARE COMPLAINING. Just people whose first Zelda game was BOTW or TOTK or who have never played Zelda before. Not the same. Literally not a single OG player who grew up playing the original 64 version has complained about anything.

that’s quite possibly the dumbest excuse ever 😭 yeah our most favorite aspect was the goddamn loading screens, such a pathetic way of saying that the switch 2 is still under powered
