Overview
- A product page posted this week by Norwegian retailer Elkjøp names Monolith Soft as the developer of a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 and lists a PEGI 12+ rating and Nordic distributor Bergsala.
- Nintendo has not confirmed the developer credit or other details, so the listing is being treated as an unverified retailer entry that could be a leak, a placeholder, or an error.
- Journalists note Monolith Soft has a long history of support work on Zelda projects and that Daiki Iwamoto said in 2025 he wanted the studio to play a central role in future Zelda development, which makes the claim plausible.
- Analysts express skepticism that Monolith Soft is the sole lead because the studio is publicly known to be working on Xenoblade Genesis, so its involvement could be a support role or reflect prior, already-completed work.
- The clearest next steps are an official Nintendo announcement or a Nintendo Direct that names the studio and clarifies whether Monolith Soft is lead developer or a support partner and what that means for the remake’s scope and release timing.
