Nintendo used the official Zelda X account to post new footage of Hyrule Castle Town from its remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, scheduled for release on November 5. The clip shows the town center with reworked graphics, residents going about the area, shops, and the series' familiar upbeat background music. The Temple of Time appears briefly in the second half. The post is one entry in a daily sequence of location teasers tied to the November 5 launch date. Nintendo lists the game at 8,980 yen for the package version and 7,980 yen for the download version. The remake adds camera control, new actions, a Dash option for movement speed, and a voice input feature. Hyrule Castle Town is an early stop in the original adventure and a central hub that connects to the Temple of Time and surrounding regions.
The Hyrule Castle Town footage is the latest entry in a run of posts from the official Zelda X account, each introducing one location from the remake. Nintendo has been publishing them day after day as the November 5 release approaches.
The castle town was already a familiar early stop in the original, and this version shows a brighter look with residents and shops visible. The Temple of Time also appears briefly toward the end of the clip. The same approach was applied to a separate post introducing Gerudo's Fortress, shown in high-definition desert surroundings with flamenco-style music, footsteps on stone paving and ladders, blowing wind, and dust rising around bonfires.
Nintendo's listing puts the package version at 8,980 yen and the download version at 7,980 yen. The remake adds free camera rotation, voluntary jumping, a Dash that raises movement speed, and a voice input feature. The game arrives on November 5 for Nintendo Switch 2.
