Nintendo Releases Trailer for Ocarina of Time Remake

Nintendo has released a five‑minute overview trailer for the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, showing new footage and reminding fans of the original 1998 title that defined 3D adventure games.

The remake is described as a faithful interpretation with modern technologies, featuring fully voiced cutscenes, motion‑controlled slingshot, and new underwater dashing.

The new version introduces ocarina magic that responds to the Switch 2 microphone, letting players hum melodies that influence Link, and adds the Hall of Fallen Heroes where statues of defeated monsters can be explored or rematched.

Nintendo plans to launch the remake on the Switch 2 on November 5, 2026.

Two new Ocarina of Time amiibo figures will launch in 2027, unlocking special masks, while existing Legend of Zelda amiibo provide rewards, and the game will support ZELDA NOTES, a service in the Switch app.

The original Ocarina of Time, released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, remains a cornerstone of the genre, introducing lock‑on targeting and context‑sensitive actions that became industry standards.
