Original vs remake
Nintendo describes a ground-up Switch 2 version, not a port of the Nintendo 64 game. Every row on the changes page has a source and a status.
- Visuals and audio. Overhauled graphics, orchestral music, and fully voiced cutscenes with more dialogue. Confirmed by Nintendo.
- Controls. A jump button, dash, free camera on the right stick, and playing learned songs by humming into the Switch 2 microphone. Buttons still work. Confirmed by Nintendo.
- New features. Threads of Time (a story-progress log), the Hall of Fallen Heroes, and a day/night cycle that keeps going in towns. Confirmed by Nintendo.
- Layouts. Hands-on previews published October 14, 2026 reported some moved chests and tweaked puzzles. Those notes are from a pre-release build, not the final game.
Still TBA: whether collectible totals change (including 36 Pieces of Heart and 100 Gold Skulltulas), exact resolution and frame rate, and whether Master Quest returns. Nothing here is filled in from leaks.
Collectibles
The counts below are the original Nintendo 64 and 3DS game. Nintendo has not said whether the remake keeps them.
Gold Skulltulas
100
Tokens are turned in at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village. The Piece of Heart reward comes at 50 tokens.
The tracker also lists 4 bottles, 12 songs, 8 masks, and 8 Heart Containers from dungeon bosses, plus items, equipment, upgrades, and quest items. The scarecrow song you compose is not included.
The interactive 100% checklist is on its own page. Locations follow the original game, because the remake is not out. Progress saves in this browser only (nothing is uploaded), and you can export or import a backup.
