Overview
- Nintendo announced during its June 9 Nintendo Direct that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be remade for Nintendo Switch 2 and will release in 2026.
- The company debuted a short teaser showing young Link waking with a glowing Triforce mark but provided no extended gameplay footage or a specific launch date.
- Multiple outlets and early impressions describe the project as a full remake rather than a simple remaster and note an art direction that departs from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
- Nintendo has not named a developer beyond the franchise’s history and has said more information will be shared later this year, leaving questions about combat, camera, and other gameplay changes unanswered.
- The remake revives a 1998 landmark that received a 2011 3DS rebuild by Grezzo and it ties into broader franchise activity including the series’ 40th anniversary and a planned 2027 live‑action film.
