Ocarina of Time Is Getting a Full Switch 2 Remake in 2026
Nintendo will bring The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026 as an exclusive full remake.
Nintendo is bringing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back in 2026 as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. The company describes it as a full remake of the Nintendo 64 classic, rather than a port or a reissue of the 3DS version. A specific release date has not been announced.
The reveal closed the June 9 Nintendo Direct. Nintendo says the game has been rebuilt from the ground up for a new generation, with updated designs and modern graphics while retaining the familiar gameplay.
A different look for Hyrule
The first teaser opens with young Link asleep in Kokiri Forest, his left hand lit by the Triforce. Its more detailed visual approach is clearly distinct from the style of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is planned only for Nintendo Switch 2 and carries an ESRB E10+ rating for Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence. Nintendo has not yet shared details on new gameplay mechanics, additional content, or a European release date.
