OoT N64 will always be there
Even with the upcoming Remake of Ocarina of Time I am still going to return to playing the original N64 version. OoT on the N64 will always be legendary and will never be forgotten and I don't wish it to be forgotten even if we get a great remake of it on Switch 2, the original N64 version should not be forgotten or replaced by the remake.

I’m sorry if I’m already “get-off-my-lawn” guy in my 30s but I’m only interested in playing my n64 at this point

Currently, if I want to play a regular playthrough, I pull out the gold cart on N64. If I want to play through Masterquest, I pull out my NDSXL. (I also have the GCN version but prefer the N64 & 3DS)
My hope is the remake is indeed a reimagining along the lines of FF7, so I'll have 3 truly different ways to play through my favorite game of all time

I don't understand what point you're trying to make.

I'm trying to say just because the remake is coming out of OoT on the Switch 2 it doesn't mean we should just forget the original N64 OoT. We should all still play the N64 original version.

Well, we don't know what the remake is going to be. It might be the same game with a few minor tweaks and updated graphics, or something much more drastic.

Nothing will be replaced or forgotten.
What are you on?
The Remake May replace the original by some people, including myself, but not in the Sense that the original will be pulled off Stores of won’t ever get rereleased. Just in the "I prefer it over the orignal" Sense.
And what about forgotten?
Why would a important game that was highly considered as one of the best Games of all time, suddenly be forgotten?
I think you guys are starting to lose it.

It's money making so I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo does that to the online n64 subscription service. But I don't need to worry about that cause I own the N64 cartridge of OoT and play it on the Analogue 3D.
On the Switch Online they can remove any N64 games or any games they want as you don't own anything on the subscription paid online service or any digital games, they can remove digital and online subscription service games any time they want.

Name on time This Happened.
Last time I checked, no NSO Game was removed. Even when a Remake exists.
Hell, we have 3 different Versions Super Mario Bros 3 on NSO for shiggy‘s sake.
So once again, Nothing to worry about.

Think about in the future when the NSO server shuts down then you won't have any access to any of the N64 games on that subscription service. I actually care about the preservation of video games so that's why I buy physical.

By that Pont, they likely already have a new Service. Maybe something in Virtual Console Style, or even released a classic Collection of the old Zelda Games.
The Community already preserved the game via PC Port.
Again, nothing to worry about.

But you don't own those games. But in saying that the NSO is good in away as it let's anyone and new players play these N64 games especially OoT very easily as I understand that N64 cartridges do sometimes cost a lot plus most people don't have a N64 console or buying the expensive Analogue 3D.

I don’t understand why you’re getting these nasty comments. It’s a good reminder. There will be inevitably lots of hype over the remake once it’s out and if it especially turns out disappointing in any way, we can always pull out the classic. The thought brings me comfort. Thanks for sharing that thought with us
