Nintendo has listed two new amiibo figures for release on November 12, 2026, leading fans to speculate that the long-awaited remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time could arrive on the same day. The listing, spotted on Reddit, includes the Sword Kirby and Dragoon amiibo as well as the Noir Dedede & Hydra amiibo.
Amiibo releases often align with major game launches
Nintendo has a history of launching new amiibo figures on the same day as its big releases, even if the figures are from different franchises. Previous examples include the Mineru's Construct amiibo releasing alongside Fortune's Weave, and Meta Knight and Shadow Star launching the same day as Pokémon Pokopia.
Currently, Nintendo has not announced an official release date for the Ocarina of Time remake, only a loose 2026 window. With no other major Nintendo games scheduled for November 2026, some fans believe November 12 is the planned date.
November 12 fits Nintendo's typical release patterns
November 12, 2026, falls on a Thursday, which aligns with Nintendo's usual game launch day. The date also makes sense given that September and October are already packed with big releases. The only other notable game arriving in November is Grand Theft Auto VI, set for November 19.
While the Ocarina of Time remake and GTA VI target different audiences, the proximity suggests Nintendo is prepared to go head-to-head with Rockstar. For fans of both franchises, November 2026 could be a busy month.
