The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake was officially announced during June's Nintendo Direct, but little has been said about the game other than the fact that it is coming before the end of the year. During today's The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, we have learned not only when the game will launch, but also how it recreates one of the most beloved games of all time. Early November Launch As many expected, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will launch this November, the same month GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series […]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is one of the few games launching in 2026 that still lacks a precise release date. With September and October filled to the brim with game releases, a November release that would put the game directly against Rockstar Games' GTA 6 is almost certain, and it's very likely this epic gaming square-off will be officially confirmed next week, as two Nintendo Direct broadcasts have been confirmed today. The first of the two Nintendo Direct events scheduled for next week will be a The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, which will air […]

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. Following recent reports that the console maker is working on a limited edition The Legend of Zelda themed Switch 2 – photos of the product in question have now leaked online.

With 2026 marking the 40th anniversary of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda franchise, there had been plenty of leaks and rumours claiming that the console maker was working on a themed Switch 2 and Pro controller to celebrate.

At the time, little was known regarding its design, with insiders simply claiming that it is being structured around Zelda as a whole – and not the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake. As shared by ResetEra user ‘jojoroy’ however, we’ve now gotten a first look at both bits of hardware via their box art.

While perhaps somewhat messier than some might like, both the Switch 2 and Pro Controller feature an even blend of black, gold and forest green colours, including iconography of the Triforce and Hylian crest.

As with pretty much all limited edition Zelda consoles, expect that 40th anniversary offering to be in high demand once it is officially announced.

KitGuru says: What do you think of these leaked designs? How does it compare to the Switch 1’s Zelda console? Across its history, which Zelda Edition console remains your favourite? Let us know down below.

The long-rumored The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is among the few games launching in 2026 still lacking a solid release date. While there's a high likelihood the remake of what is considered one of the best games of all time will clash directly with GTA 6 this November, Nintendo is keeping a tight lid on when the highlight of the year's Nintendo Switch 2 release schedule will launch. However, the announcement may be right around the corner, as designs for the limited-edition console and Pro Controller meant to celebrate the series' 40th anniversary have leaked online. The leaked […]

Nintendo's legendary game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, has surprisingly elected to speak on the subject of the company's frequent game remakes. Speaking in the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu (as translated by Nintendo Everything), Miyamoto-san admitted that Nintendo has been doing a lot of remakes, but also took the time to explain why it makes sense: Some people might say there are a lot of remakes, but after five years, a lot of people have outgrown games and stop playing them. Young people today don’t have the opportunity to play games from 10 years ago, so remaking them to be […]

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 […]

Announced during last month's Nintendo Direct, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will be the first entry in the series built from the ground up for Nintendo Switch 2. While not a lot is currently known about the game, the Japanese company seems to already be looking ahead under series producer Eiji Aonuma, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess may be the next entry in the series to be remade for the current-generation Nintendo system, as the next-gen console hardware allows for new features and technical enhancements not possible on the original Nintendo Switch. "I hadn't heard […]

Another Summer Game Fest has come and gone, though we're still feeling the ripple effects of everything that was just announced. Part of that comes in the form of looking at what resonated the most with players, and as part of a report from The Game Business, marketing analytics firm LevelUp has the answer for the games that garnered the most engagement from players and press, and none of the top-10 games are a surprise. That's because they're all big, triple-A juggernauts that would've been the most-talked-about games regardless of where they showed up. Not a single indie game broke […]
