The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 rumor sparks amiibo calls

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is supposedly in line for a Nintendo Switch 2 remake as part of The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary in 2026, and that’s kicked off a new round of talk about Ocarina-themed amiibo. The rumor points to a Nintendo website description that reportedly leaked and was later taken down. In that description, the project was called a “full remake” with “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay.” Still, take that carefully. Nintendo hasn’t announced anything, and the extra claims about 1440p at 60fps and a $59.99 price tag haven’t been verified.

If you keep an eye on Nintendo anniversary releases, this is one to watch. Fans are already split over what a “full remake” of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time would actually mean: a near 1:1 rebuild of the Nintendo 64 classic, or something more ambitious that reimagines it.

The amiibo speculation keeps resurfacing for the same reason. Nintendo’s 2016 Link (Ocarina of Time) amiibo, released for The Legend of Zelda’s 30th anniversary, still works in games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where it can drop meat and give you a chance to unlock the Ocarina outfit. But plenty of fans want more than that. Zelda, Ganondorf, Impa, even the Seven Sages.

For now, it’s still just a rumor. But if it does happen, this would be a Nintendo Switch 2 release to keep an eye on through Nintendo’s official channels.
