| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |

What happened
"Hang on, why is Nintendo remaking Ocarina of Time again?" It's a natural question that might have occurred to you in the last few months, and in the latest Ask the Developer interview, Series Producer Eiji Aonuma had the answer.

"Many of the team members who work alongside me on Legend of Zelda games today have only experienced developing the more recent titles," Aonuma-san says. "That led me to wonder, 'Do they truly understand just how significant The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was to the series as a whole?'" com
