Nintendo has confirmed a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2, arriving in 2026 to mark the Zelda Series 40th Anniversary. Revealed during the June 9th Nintendo Direct with a brief teaser trailer.The trailer is short but specific. Narration from the Great Deku Tree mirrors the opening of the 1998 original, with Link shown sleeping restlessly as a nightmare unfolds. Where the original game opens with a vision of Sheik and Zelda fleeing Hyrule Castle while pursued by Ganondorf, the remake adds a new detail: the Triforce begins to glow on Link’s left hand during the nightmare.
The broader Zelda anniversary calendar gives the remake its context. The franchise turned 40 earlier in 2026, and Nintendo appears to be staging its celebrations deliberately: the Ocarina of Time remake lands this year, a LEGO Ocarina of Time Final Battle set is already available, and the live-action Zelda film directed by Wes Ball, starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda, opens in theaters on April 30, 2027.
