Despite that, a Nintendo SVP likes to believe there are a lot of things in the game that players still haven’t found. Nintendo Nintendo’s senior vice president of product development and publishing Nate Bihldorff spoke of Ocarina’s secrets with IGN when praising the remake’s localization team. “The localization team, absolutely, puts the most importance on those single lines that are really, really hard to find,” Bihldorff explained. “There was always something special about localizing those lines and knowing that only a few people were going to read it, that it took a specific course of action to get there,” the SVP continued. He didn’t give specific examples of what those lines might be, but he seems fairly certain there are things in the remake that still haven’t been discovered. “I like to believe that there are [things in Ocarina of Time no one has discovered]. Of course, that's a question for the developers. They probably would be very cagey in the way that they answered it.” The lines Bihldorff is thinking of may well have been discovered, they may have still never been heard outside of the team who helped create them, or there’s a very real chance that a few people have heard them, completely unaware that they’re reading or hearing lines that only a handful of people will ever hear. You Might Have Seen Or Heard Something In Ocarina Of Time That No Other Player Has Experienced There are already so many of you playing the Ocarina of Time remake that I’d lean more towards that last option being the truth rather than secrets going entirely undiscovered. Although, like Bihldorff, I love the idea of there being lines of dialogue in this hugely popular game that it might take players years to find, and even when they do, they might not know just how rare that dialogue is. Even though the new Ocarina of Time is a faithful remake of the N64 original, there are still a lot of differences. That’s why it’s a remake rather than a remaster. That’s also why finding these secrets almost certainly won’t be as simple as having an intimate knowledge of the original and doing the same things to re-find them in the remake. It sounds like the dialogue Bihldorff is referencing is all new stuff. Stuff we might hear one day, blissfully unaware that we’re obliviously witnessing history.
