Nintendo announced The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 at the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8, with a release date of November 5, 2026. The remake costs 8,980 yen for the package version and 7,980 yen for download. Producer Eiji Aonuma demonstrated the game live, showing a free camera, button-based jumping, faster combat, dash movement, and fully voiced event scenes.
November 5 is about two months out from the September 8 reveal, and the timing drew immediate notice from fans, with one commenter calling it a head-to-head with GTA6. The same Direct set the live-action Zelda movie for April 30, 2027 and announced a Zelda-themed overhaul of the Nintendo Museum.
On Switch 2, the remake uses the console's microphone so players can hum or play instrument sounds into the ocarina. Aonuma's live demonstration covered a free camera, button-based jumping, faster combat, dash movement in place of the forward roll, and fully voiced event scenes. Fan reaction to the character models compared them to the doll look used in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, with commenters calling the style fitting for Ocarina of Time.
