is it just stretched to fit 16:9? that's not going to look great

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ocarina of Time never natively supported any aspect ratio other than 4:3, so it will certainly be stretched. Unless OP plays on an emulator or the native PC port, which can both support 16:9.

Chances are there's a setting for stretch/fit in the TV

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, all TVs these days do have a picture setting for aspect ratio correction. But the TV in this picture does not have that setting enabled, and therefore the picture is distorted.

so it will certainly be stretched. Unless OP plays on an emulator or the native PC port, which can both support 16:9.

Which kinda contradicts this part

This was assuming the OP does not change their TV settings.
