Nintendo Switch 2: Zelda 40th Anniversary and Remake Updates

Overview

Nintendo is heavily promoting the 40th anniversary of ‘The Legend of Zelda’ franchise, centered on the upcoming remake of ‘Ocarina of Time’ for the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled for release on November 5, 2026. This remake is a complete rebuild featuring overhauled visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, and a symphonic orchestral soundtrack. Gameplay updates include a dedicated manual jump button, a jump-and-dash mechanic, a new item selection wheel, and the ‘Hall of Fallen Foes’ area for combat rematches. The title will also support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and features unique integration with the Switch 2 microphone for playing the Ocarina, alongside the ‘Zelda Notes’ mobile application.

To celebrate the anniversary, Nintendo announced a worldwide symphonic concert tour for 2027 and a special 40th Anniversary Edition hardware lineup launching October 29. This includes a themed Switch 2 console ($519.99), a Pro Controller, and a carrying case. Demand has been high, with many retailers reporting sold-out pre-orders. Additionally, Nintendo is expanding its music services with ‘Majora’s Mask’ tracks and releasing themed amiibo in 2027.

While the US ESRB rating is E10+, the Japanese CERO rating has shifted to CERO B (ages 12+) due to enhanced depictions of violence, horror, and sexual themes. The digital download size for the remake has been revealed as 24.54 GB. Amidst this hype, industry analysts have suggested that increasing investment in remakes could help Nintendo maintain a consistent release schedule.
