Ganondorf gets new clip in Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Today!
In brief
- Nintendo shared a 16-second Ganondorf clip from a reported The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 via Nintendo Today!.
- The video was available to users of the Nintendo Today! app and reportedly shows a scene with Ganondorf on horseback.
- Nintendo’s official text describes Ganondorf as a Gerudo man who seeks the Triforce, while the remake is linked in the article to Nintendo Switch 2.
What happened
IGN reports that Nintendo published a short video centered on Ganondorf in a reported remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. According to the article, the 16-second clip was available on mobile devices through the Nintendo Today! app for users of that service.
The new footage is said to expand on an earlier dream sequence. IGN writes that the clip shows Ganondorf riding on horseback, while a voice-over says: “And now… An evil has appeared, yearning after that power.” That appears to add more context to the character than was present in the earlier version of the fragment.
Nintendo’s own text, as quoted by IGN, describes Ganondorf as a man from the Gerudo tribe, where men are said to be born only once every 100 years. The same text says he has a great ambition to obtain the Triforce, a sacred relic said to grant the wish of anyone who touches it.
The article also refers to the remake as a version for Nintendo Switch 2, but does not confirm full release details. It also remains unclear whether the clip is accessible outside the Nintendo Today! app and what specific changes were made compared with the original, beyond the new visuals and the slow camera movement in the fragment.
