The footage does not yet offer a full look at the adventure, but it does show young Link in Kokiri Village, resting before being awakened by Navi. The scene is instantly familiar to longtime players, but it has a very different impact thanks to the fully renewed visuals and the updated character model for Link.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing Ocarina of Time back on Switch 2 carries obvious weight. First released in 1998 for Nintendo 64, the game marked The Legend of Zelda\u2019s move into three dimensions and helped define ideas that still shape action-adventure games today. Its story followed a young Link on a mission tied to the fate of Hyrule, threatened by Ganondorf, through dungeons, exploration, puzzles, and moments that became central to the identity of the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>The remake appears to start from that same iconic foundation, keeping recognizable locations and story beats while rebuilding them for Switch 2 hardware. The biggest unanswered question is how far Nintendo will go with changes to pacing, controls, exploration, and presentation. For now, the core message is clear: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is returning in 2026 as a fully renewed version of one of Link\u2019s most beloved adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive remake, due out in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
