Nintendo has quietly teased additional information regarding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2. The details were briefly visible on the game's store page before being removed.
Hidden Description Reveals Remake Details
The hidden text, spotted by BlueSky user TAHK0, read: "The N64 classic reborn as a full remake for Nintendo Switch 2. Experience Ocarina of Time with stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay." This description was not visible on the page via the WayBack Machine and has since been scrubbed from the Nintendo Store's metadata, suggesting Nintendo did not intend for it to be seen yet.
The current official description states: "The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2!"
What This Means for Fans
The hidden text clarifies several points left vague in the initial announcement. First, it confirms that the Ocarina of Time remake is a full-blown remake, not just a remaster. The phrase "timeless gameplay" suggests the remake will remain faithful to the original N64 release, rather than adopting an open-world style like Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.
Release Date Speculation
While Nintendo has committed to a 2026 release, no specific date has been announced. With September and October already crowded, a November or December release seems likely, potentially going head to head with Rockstar's GTA 6. Observers note that many games are avoiding November 19, 2026, giving Nintendo an opportunity.
We will report back when Nintendo reveals more information about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
