Nintendo has confirmed that a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will launch on the Switch 2 on November 5, according to reports from ecranlarge.com and lefigaro.fr. The announcement came as part of a broader celebration marking 40 years of the Zelda franchise.
The remake was teased alongside other franchise news, including a live-action film adaptation. Ecranlarge.com reported the release date and teaser, while lefigaro.fr separately confirmed the November 5 launch date in its coverage of Nintendo’s announcement.
The news arrived during a Nintendo event dedicated to the series’ 40th anniversary, as detailed by BFM. That event also included updates on the Zelda film, which has drawn criticism for its title and logo, according to gamekult.com. The film’s official title was revealed at the same event, with Pèse sur start noting the announcement.
The Ocarina of Time remake is a key title for the Switch 2, arriving just over two months after the announcement. The original game, first released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, is widely considered one of the most influential games in the series.
Nintendo has not yet detailed specific features of the remake, such as graphical upgrades or new gameplay mechanics. The company also has not clarified whether the remake will be a full ground-up rebuild or a more modest remaster.
The film adaptation, meanwhile, has generated mixed reactions, with gamekult.com reporting that fans were disappointed by the lack of a more distinctive title. The movie remains in early stages, with no release date announced.
For now, the focus shifts to the Switch 2 remake’s launch this fall. Nintendo is expected to share more details about the game’s features and content in the weeks leading up to its November release.
