- A separate report points to a full, from-the-ground-up remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time targeting the second half of 2026 to align with the franchise’s 40th anniversary.
- Multiple outlets repeat that a new mainline 3D Mario is now expected in 2027, suggesting Nintendo is prioritizing the Zelda remake this year.
