Nope. I actually had this argument with a good friend today (who is excited for this remake) who has never played OoT but knows I've played nearly every Zelda except the CD-i ones.
Me: "You have a Switch Online subscription, why haven't you just played the N64 version?? It's perfectly fine now that it got the updates that fixed the fog & whatnot. A little clunky because the switch joycon controls but you can just use a pro controller and have a decent experience"
Him: "It doesn't even hit 30fps"
Me: "Why does it need to hit 30fps?? The N64 version was capped at 20 and looks & runs perfectly fine at 20fps."
Him: "It should be at least 30. I'm hoping this one will be 60"
Me: "You've lost your damn mind no Zelda game NEEDS 60fps. 30fps is perfectly fine even for BOTW or TOTK"
Him: "Nuh uh"
Point him to Ship of Harkinian (the PC port of OoT, OoT Master Quest and Majora's Mask). It has literally all the quality of life features one can possibly imagine (and then some), including higher fps.
The REAL answer is that the original OoT looks like shit on modern monitors
