The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake is Ready to Launch Exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2!

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Nintendo officially announced a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 console in 2026.

This announcement was the main highlight of the Nintendo Direct presentation held on June 9, 2026.

In the announcement trailer shown, one of the standout new features is the presence of voice acting, with the opening narration provided by the Great Deku Tree, adding depth to the narrative experience.

Ocarina of Time itself was first released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and is widely recognized as one of the best video games of all time.

The game previously received a remastered version for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011, which featured improved controls as well as touchscreen support.

The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will feature a semi-realistic art style, a different approach from the painting-style visuals found in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Some sources indicate that this visual style may be closer to the aesthetic seen in Twilight Princess.

Nintendo describes the project as “reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2” and is a “recreation from scratch” or “completely remastered from scratch”.

This promises a fresh experience while still maintaining the essence of the original game.

While the announcement trailer only featured a few bits of footage, such as young Link sleeping and the appearance of the Triforce mark on his hand, no significant gameplay footage was shown yet.

The announcement of this remake comes at a special time, considering that The Legend of Zelda series will celebrate its 40th anniversary in early 2026.

The Nintendo Direct event on June 9, 2026 not only set the stage for the Ocarina of Time remake, but also included a series of other big announcements, including a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4.

Although the development studio responsible for this remake has not been specifically revealed, there is speculation regarding Monolith's involvement.

The main studio behind the Zelda series previously released Tears of the Kingdom in 2023, so the possibility of them playing a role in this ambitious project remains open.

The original Nintendo 64 console was a landmark of the 1990s, with its immersive and detailed 3D world and a combat system that allowed players to "lock on" to individual enemies—a now industry standard.

Players control the green-clad protagonist Link on a time-traveling adventure spanning his childhood and adulthood, as he confronts the dark lord Ganondorf to rescue Princess Zelda.

"Ocarina of Time" is regularly hailed as one of the best games of all time in the gaming media, and holds a 99 percent score on the review aggregation site Metacritic.
