It looks like the owl known Kaepora Gaebora - part-tutorial, part-tip giver - will be far less talkative in the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time .

Who is the most dangerous monster you face in Ocarina of Time ? 'Ganondorf' you'll surely answer. Wrong. 'Koume and Kotake', you might offer. After all, they raised Ganondorf and set him down his evil path. Incorrect. 'Okay, then it must be the Shadow Temple boss, the dastardly Bongo Bongo'. You fool. The most vicious villain can only be Kaepora Gaebora, the owl.

Sure, he appears helpful. Some might even say he's secretly Rauru, Sage of Light, but show me the evidence! (So I can ignore it). You might even use the lift he offers down Death Mountain to excuse his overly long explanations, but, never forget, always beware owls bearing free flights.

Seriously, think about it. What's the best, sneakiest, way to slow down the Hero of Time? A monster ambush?…
