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.
