From the quiet corridors of a regional digital storefront, a price tag has emerged to stir one of gaming's longest-held hopes: a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a game that shaped an entire generation's understanding of what interactive storytelling could be. An Australian Nintendo eShop listing places the project at $60 USD — a signal, however unofficial, that something substantial may be taking shape. Before Nintendo has spoken a word, the marketplace has spoken first, as it so often does in an age where anticipation outpaces announcement.
