One of the most loved games of all time is coming back. Here's the release date, price and platform for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Switch 2.
Last updated October 21, 2026.
Release date
The Ocarina of Time remake launches on November 5, 2026.
Platform: Switch 2 only
The remake is a Nintendo Switch 2 game. It's not announced for the original Switch.
Price
- Digital: $59.99
- Physical: $69.99
The digital version is $10 cheaper. That matches the policy Nintendo started in 2026 for new first-party Switch 2 games. Prices in other regions differ, and some stores run pre-order deals, so compare before you buy.
Why Ocarina of Time matters
The original came out in 1998 on the Nintendo 64. It was one of the first big 3D adventure games, and it shaped how many 3D games handle combat, targeting and exploration. For years it sat at the top of "best games ever" lists. For many players it was their first Zelda, which is why a full remake is such big news.
Should you wait or pre-order?
If you already own a Switch 2 and loved the original, it's an easy pick. If you're new to Zelda, it's a great starting point: the story stands on its own. As always, reviews arrive around launch day, so there's no harm in waiting a few days to read them.
