The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has officially been announced for the Nintendo Switch 2 at the Nintendo Direct June 2026.
Through all the leaks and rumours, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is finally confirmed! Unfortunately, there was no official release date listed during the Nintendo Direct June 2026. However, they did say it will be coming out for Switch 2 this year. Now, fans can stop speculating if this game will be coming out. This was one of the highly anticipated titles, as many knew this fan favourite game needed a remake—and enhanced for the Switch 2 no less.
Originally released for the N64 in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remains one of Nintendo’s most beloved games. This was the first time fans were able to venture into Hyrule in full 3D, where players were able to ride Link’s iconic mount: Epona. An enhanced version was released in 2011 for Nintendo 3DS, and the original is also available to play on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) via the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
The trailer showed a cinematic explaining the origin story of Link. The graphics looked amazing, and had the famous score backing the scene of Link sleeping. The tale of the Kokiri and the Great Deku Tree told over some fabric artworks, the awakening of Link in his house at the beginning of the game, and the Triforce of Courage already glimmering on his hand.
Sadly, Nintendo ended the Direct briefly, promising to offer more details later this year. The presentation said, “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be reborn on Nintendo Switch 2. More details will be announced in the future. So please look forward to them.” The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will release in 2026.
