[Update - July 31, 6:13 AM] As spotted by eagle-eyed fans on Reddit, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake may indeed be the only game going to confront Grand Theft Auto VI directly. Nintendo UK listed the Kirby Air Riders amiibo with a November 11 release date, before promptly removing the information. As the company traditionally launches amiibo to coincide with their big releases, this is a strong indication that the remake could indeed launch on November 11, roughly one week before Grand Theft Auto VI. Original story follows. [Original Story] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time […]

AI has managed to blur the lines between platform-locked games, which is why, in another demonstration, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is only available on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 64, was able to run natively on iPadOS. Now, it's possible that older titles like this can run on different operating systems. That post details how a developer (Kahris) successfully made this possible using an open-source project called Ship of Harkinian. Codex 5.6 Sol helped build the iOS compatibility layer to get The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time running on the iPad On a previous occasion, […]

Though the practice may have subsided somewhat in recent years, Nintendo is known for releasing various themed versions of its consoles based on the company’s wide suite of popular IPs. While the Switch 2 has yet to see any such hardware, reports have claimed that the console maker is gearing up to release its first limited edition Switch 2 in alignment with the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda franchise. So far, the company has been somewhat quiet on the matter, with the only bits of Zelda-related news being official confirmation of the previous-rumoured Ocarina of Time Remake alongside some early looks at the upcoming live-action film.

According to insiders however, part of the anniversary celebrations will include the release of limited edition hardware, with known leaker ‘Shpeshal Nick’ taking to social media to claim that both a Zelda themed Switch 2 Pro controller and Switch 2 console are currently planned.

Details on these products remain light, but according to Nick these systems will be “Zelda themed’ and “not necessarily” tied to Ocarina of Time specifically.

Either way, we should hopefully learn about these new products sooner rather than later, with the aforementioned OoT remake slated to arrive this year – and the live-action film penned for Spring of next year – meaning a dedicated Zelda Direct should be impending.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the Ocarina of Time Remake so far? How do you think the limited edition console will look? Let us know down below.

Internet sleuths have discovered from a GameStop search engine result that Nintendo may be opening pre-orders for the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on August 4. If so, that could mean we'd finally get proper footage of the game, which was only briefly teased during June's Nintendo Direct. Fans have been literally salivating ever since the rumors started in earnest this March. However, details have been scarce, to say the least. The only other thing we got was a quickly scrubbed description on Nintendo's official website: The N64 classic reborn as a full remake for Nintendo […]

It looks like the rumours were correct, Nintendo is indeed developing a full remake for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. 

Announced at the end of today's Nintendo Direct showcase, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 consoles later this year. Based on the short teaser trailer, the game will be going with a more realistic style compared to recent games like Breath of the Wild or the Link's Awakening remake.

There is no exact release date yet but the game is set to land this year. Chances are, Nintendo kept this trailer short in order to save something for its upcoming Zelda 40th Anniversary stream, where we should get a bit of a better look at the game, rather than just a brief shot of Link.

This isn't the first time that Ocarina of Time has seen a re-release. Nintendo also had a special version of the game for the 3DS back in the day, but this time around, we should get a much more impressive graphical overhaul.

KitGuru Says: Will you be picking up this remake or are you happy just replaying the original game? 

Nintendo has been pretty quiet on its first-party game line-up for the Switch 2 so far this year. That may start to change soon though. Recent leaks have claimed that Nintendo is currently developing a new Star Fox game, with plans to launch this summer, followed by a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time later in the year. 

According to both VGC and Nate the Hate, Nintendo is working on a ‘classic' Star Fox game for the Switch 2, with plans to launch this summer. If accurate, the game would be launching a few months after the Super Mario Galaxy movie, which is also set to feature Fox McCloud as a new character.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Zelda, Nintendo is also said to be planning a full remake of Ocarina of Time, one of the most beloved games in the entire series. This wouldn't be the first time that Nintendo has done this, as a version of the game had also been rebuilt for the 3DS. This remake however would target higher fidelity graphics, taking full advantage of the Switch 2's more powerful hardware.

While there is good news for Star Fox and Zelda fans, it sounds like Super Mario will be taking this year off. According to the same report, the next 3D Super Mario game is targeting a 2027 release window.

KitGuru Says: The next Nintendo Direct is unlikely to take place until June, so it will be a while before any of this is officially confirmed. If accurate though, it does sound like the Switch 2 is going to have a very successful second year on the market.
