Leakers have suggested the coverage embargo could end around October 13 or 14, though their claims are not confirmed.
Hands-on previews could show how the new combat and visuals work, including during boss fights.
The game’s release is scheduled for November 5, and positive previews could encourage more people to buy it.

I expect the first previews for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are out soon. I have a sneaking suspicion it was playable at the Nintendo Holiday Preview Event this week. Monster Hunter Wilds, Minecraft for Switch 2, Call of Duty and more were all playable.
De novo Zelda Ocarina e Rockstar Games no mesmo dia... Que venha amanhã hahaha
