There have been numerous rumors in the past weeks about a possible remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Nintendo confirmed it in the last Nintendo Direct.
Exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 and with a generic date of 2026, although without a specific date, it will be a remake of the classic Nintendo 64 game that promises to update the game. While we still have many details to learn about it.
A remake we still know nothing about
Because the problem is that, although we were presented with a teaser, it was extremely brief. Presenting us with a modernized and much more realistic graphic style, like the versions of classic games that people make on social media in Unreal Engine 5, we have barely seen Link sleeping and nothing more. Without having seen any gameplay or the graphics in motion, we also cannot assure how the game will look in action.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was originally released in late 1998 for Nintendo 64 as the first 3D game in the franchise. Being an absolute critical and public success, considered one of the best games in history and accumulating numerous awards for Game of the Year, it is one of the highest-rated games of all time.
Yoshiaki Koizumi, who presented the Direct, has confirmed that we will learn more about the game in the coming weeks. This makes sense considering it is coming out this year and we are already in June. Therefore, we can expect that at any moment they will hold a Nintendo Direct specifically dedicated to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although we do not know when or how. Exactly the same as with the game itself.
