The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake finally has a confirmed release date. The game launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 November 2026, placing it in the holiday window and just over three weeks away. Nintendo has been unusually quiet about the remake since announcing it at the June Nintendo Direct, but small confirmations have been trickling out this week.
One of those came from the official Zelda Japan social channels, which shared a short clip confirming that Navi’s “Hey! Listen!” line, which became one of gaming’s most enduring memes, is present in the remake. The game includes fully voice-acted cutscenes featuring Ganondorf, Princess Zelda, and other major characters, with Navi receiving additional lines of dialogue beyond the original. Despite the expanded voice acting and various modernisations, Nintendo has confirmed the remake broadly stays true to the structure and content of the N64 original.
Nintendo insider Necro Felipe, who previously confirmed the remake is “rather ambitious” and not a straight 1:1 adaptation, is now teasing on X that more Ocarina of Time news is coming tomorrow. The timing has raised eyebrows in the community. A Nintendo event was held a couple of weeks ago where journalists were brought in to play Switch 2 Sports Resort, and the thinking goes that outlets would not fly out specifically for a sports title alone.
If hands-on time with the Ocarina of Time remake was also on the agenda, tomorrow would be a plausible window for preview embargo lifts. Felipe’s track record is mixed, but his Ocarina of Time calls specifically have been accurate throughout the year. With 5 November less than a month away, some form of preview coverage dropping this week would fit Nintendo’s usual pre-launch timeline.
