Former Nintendo developer Giles Goddard has provided a first look at a prototype for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that originally featured portals.
Earlier this year, we heard from Goddard that there was some experimentation very early on with an idea involving Hyrule Castle. Similar to Super Mario 64, players would access different parts of the map through these portals. The mechanic was ultimately scrapped and Nintendo ended up going with a more open design in the end as players visit areas by traveling through Hyrule Field.

According to a Nikkei report, Nintendo will be making 20 percent fewer Switch consoles amid the chip shortage that has been affecting the entire industry as well as technology as a whole. Availability of semiconductors and other electronic parts continues to be limited.
In the fiscal year through March, Nintendo originally hoped to produce 30 million Switch units due to strong demand. That target later changed to 25.5 million. Nikkei’s report indicates that this number will fall further to 24 million units, which is 20 percent below the original goal.
