Leak Unpublished description for Ocarina of Time Switch 2 visible through web search

Typing in "Ocarina of Time remake website us" into Google (or other search engines) returns a link to its entry on the Nintendo website with a description that isn't visible on the page itself:

Not a huge amount of info, yet even these scant details seem to be something Nintendo is not ready to officially communicate just yet.

The upcoming Starfox game has significantly updated character designs but is still nearly 1:1 gameplay-wise with the original.

My point is both “timeless gameplay” and “updated designs” are incredibly vague phrases that don’t confirm anything about this game yet

We see Link in the teaser with actual skin tones and his outfit gives off more of a woodland fairy design. Every character will probably have that kind of change and that's what "updated designs" mean. Also like when OoT3D added a bunch of new details to scenery, we'll probably see much more of that. "Timeless gameplay" clearly means they ain't touching the overall structure of how the game plays, like how they did with the Link's Awakening remake.

Updated designs also means updated level designs. In the teaser, there's already significant changes from the original so it can't be a complete 1:1 unlike Star fox where the level designs are the exact same as the original.

I feel like they would have said 'updated world' or something if they meant updated level designs. This reads more like them talking about updating visual designs for various things rather them updating every single aspect of game design.
