Ocarina of Time first came out on the Nintendo 64 back in 1998 and has long been regarded as one of the greatest video games ever made. It holds a Metacritic score of 99, placing it at the very top of the site’s all-time best games list. The game is widely seen as a landmark title in the action-adventure genre and had a major influence on how games were designed in the years that followed.

This will not be the first time the game has been revisited. Back in 2011, Nintendo released a remaster on the Nintendo 3DS called Ocarina of Time 3D, which brought improved controls and touchscreen support to the experience. The upcoming Switch 2 version, however, is being described as a remake rather than a remaster, marking a bigger rework of the original title.

Nintendo has not yet revealed additional details such as pricing, a specific release date, or what changes the remake will bring to the original game. More information is expected to follow in the coming months ahead of its 2026 release.
