The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time never gets old
Breath of the Wild changed everything. Two decades after The Legend of Zelda made the transformational shift to 3D, Breath of the Wild reinvigorated the franchise with an open-ended adventure that was built around player freedom and expression. Instead of following a set path, players could go wherever they wanted and tackle challenges in a variety of ways. That philosophy filtered down to subsequent games, letting players author their own creative solutions to puzzles in titles like Tears of the Kingdom and Echoes of Wisdom. As a result, Zelda has never been bigger, and the traditional, more linear Zelda games had become a thing of the past …
AMD rides data center riches to ‘largest and most profitable’ quarter in history
AMD CEO Lisa Su said in the company's quarterly earnings call on Tuesday that Q3 2026 was "was the largest and most profitable in our history." AMD reported a record $13.4 billion in quarterly revenue, and it's predicting it will hit another record high next quarter of $17 billion. The company's data center business is driving that growth, with $8.5 billion in data center quarterly revenue for Q3 2026. Su said AMD's expecting its revenue to "grow more than 80 percent in 2027," adding that "data center will be the largest contributor."
Eventually, most of AMD's revenue might come from its data center business. In response to a question durin …
All the news about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake
Ahead of the release of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI, Nintendo is launching its own fall juggernaut: a Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The remake, which is releasing 28 years after the launch of the original version on Nintendo 64, has a much more realistic visual style and some modern improvements like a jump button, a way to sprint, full voice acting, and a “Threads of Time” feature that helps you keep track of your progress. But while the game has a new coat of paint, it appears many elements will still remain faithful to the classic N64 release. Nintendo has also launched a special version of the Switch 2 and Switch 2 Pro Controller with Triforce imagery to celebrate the game.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is scheduled to release on November 5th. You can follow along with all of our coverage of the game right here.

The biggest modding site in PC gaming is taking a stance on AI
The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare "whether AI has been used in their work," the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform.
"One of the most consistent concerns we've heard is that it's not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod," according to the post from site owner Victor "Foledinho" Folmann. "We already have tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but we recognise that there's a lot more we can do to make that information more accessible and clear for you a …
Please stop asking me when the AI bubble will pop
People, including on this staff, keep asking me with varying degrees of excitement or trepidation when the AI bubble will burst. I'll tell you what I tell them: If I knew that, I would make a life-changing bet on the market, levered up as far as I could, and then, after I made my money, go retire on a beach somewhere. Maybe run a cat sanctuary, who knows.
What I can tell you is that I read with interest a story in Bloomberg this morning: "Wall Street CEOs, Big Money Managers Divided Over AI Risks." The story itself is a roundup of stuff said at the 2026 Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit in Hong Kong. Here's what caught my attentio …
Canva is announcing changes and layoffs affecting 22 percent of its staff
Canva is making significant changes affecting 1,271 people, which is 22 percent of its staff, co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins announced today. "For some people, this will mean changes to their roles or being asked to relocate to centralised hubs," says Perkins. "Sadly, it will also mean saying goodbye to teammates and friends who have helped build Canva into what it is today."
In her note to staff, Perkins says that:
After exploring a wide range of alternatives, I've come to the difficult conclusion that small changes won't be enough. To set ourselves up for the next decade, we need to refound Canva, getting back to our roots of small, …
Sonos adds new Presets and prepares for the 27voice AI beta
Sonos is rolling out a big app update that includes new Presets and early access to its AI voice assistant. You can create a preset to play music at a specific volume in a certain room, which will appear directly on the homescreen so you can quickly start playback.
If you're in the US, you can also sign up for a spot on the waitlist for the new Sonos 27voice assistant on November 6th, with access starting on November 12th.
As teased by Sonos previously, you'll be able to use the assistant to do things like start music, move playback to another room, group and ungroup speakers, and set timers. But Sonos says it can also complete more compl …
Valve is making changes to deal with a ‘significant increase’ in Steam game submissions
In a new post today, Valve acknowledged that it's seen "a significant increase in submissions for store and page review in recent months" and says it's "running a little behind" by taking "up to 12 business days" for reviews instead of the typical 3-5 days.
Indie developers have recently expressed frustrations over lengthy approval times for Steam games, even causing some games to miss planned launch dates. Valve says that "much" of the delay is having to re-review games, so it's making some changes to the release checklist for developers to hopefully "cut down on re-reviews for basic functional issues."
The changes include requiring dev …
Binance says hackers used fake job interviews and an internal AI tool to pull off the $6.3 billion heist
The largest crypto theft to date was pulled off by combining some well-known hacking techniques over the course of a few months, according to Binance. A postmortem from the company says the process started in June with one developer downloading a tampered installer apparently spread by a malicious Google ad, exposing details about the engineers and how they work. Then, in September, another engineer was targeted by someone pretending to be interested in hiring them; that person set up a series of calls and multiple rounds of interviews, shared social media pages to build trust, and eventually prompted them to download a fake interview assign …
Here’s what it’s like to use Audio Intelligence on the Apple Watch
It's impossible to paint a full picture of what Audio Intelligence on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will be right now. The watchOS 27.3 developer beta just dropped earlier this afternoon, and these features are meant to be lived with in day-to-day life. We're definitely going to do that over the next few weeks at The Verge. That said, here are some initial impressions.
What's newly available today is Live Rewind and Siri Recap. The former lets you see a transcript of the last 15 seconds, while the latter provides high-level summaries of your conversations. (The other two Audio Intelligence features have been available for the last f …
