New Ocarina of Time 2D Trailer Shows Boss Fights, Dungeons, and Version Release Window

Wait, this is still happening? Yes, the Ocarina of Time 2D fan project is continuing to press forward into 2016 despite many fans worried about Nintendo shutting the project down. Having gained publicity and acclaim for over a year, so far it seems as if this project may indeed see completion and possibly even a full public release! Back in December they released a new trailer for Version .20 and we somehow missed it. Today we’re happy to present you that trailer in all it’s glorious 2D goodness.
