Summary
Nintendo said a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will launch on Switch 2 in 2026, reviving the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic 28 years after its debut.
A 1-minute, 38-second teaser showed updated visuals, the Deku Tree’s opening narration and Link in his treehouse, while Nintendo reaffirmed the game is still due this year.
Switch 2 is the remake’s only platform, although the original Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask already remain playable on Switch through the Nintendo 64 Classics app with a Switch Online + Expansion Pak subscription.
Nintendo has not named the remake’s developer or exact release date, but the report points to a likely holiday window and says Majora’s Mask is not included.
The release gives Nintendo a marquee Zelda title early in the Switch 2 cycle, with the remake expected to pair nostalgia with upgraded presentation and at least some voice acting.
