Nintendo Announces Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake for Switch 2

Nintendo confirmed a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time during its June 2026 Direct, targeting the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and slated for a 2026 holiday release. The only teaser released was a cinematic trailer that showed no gameplay, prompting debate among fans about whether the remake will be a faithful 1:1 recreation or a modernized overhaul.

Analysts who examined Nintendo’s website code reported references to an August 21, 2026 pre‑order opening and an October 15, 2026 launch date, though Nintendo has not verified these dates. PlayAsia has already listed pre‑orders at $59.99, lower than the typical $69.99–$79.99 price range for Switch 2 titles. Official artwork by manga artist Akira Himekawa features the tagline “It’s time to play.”
