I find it hard to get hyped. Link, as a character design, just looks odd proportion-wise. As far as a reveal trailer...it sucked.
Every Zelda reveal trailer since the original Ocarina of Time has shown Link doing interesting in-game things: He rides a horse/boat/bird. He runs around. He meets Zelda. He fights a bunch of enemies. We see gameplay mechanics (everything from jumping off a horse to slow-mo fire an arrow to hookshot across a chasm to reversing time to ride a fallen stone back into the sky). Heck, all the reveals up to Skyward Sword had used the same epic music for the reveals.
What did we get with Ocarina of Time?
A voiced narration of the opening of the original game with a faux-painting background about the Kokiri and a boy who didn't have fairy, and Link asleep. That's it. The first ten seconds of the original game. It's designed to invoke nostalgia for past players but does nothing of note for new players, or players who want more information.
We have no idea if Ocarina of Time will follow the original Zelda formula, if it'll use BotW's style, a combination, or something totally different. We don't see how he moves. We don't see how he fights. We don't see gameplay mechanics. We don't see if he'll use the classic items or not. If it wasn't for the "2026" release date (likely meaning December 26th, like Skyward Sword) then I wouldn't expect the game until 2030 given that opening.
