In a nutshell: Nintendo is bringing back one of its most popular games for a new run on its latest handheld, nearly 30 years after the original. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was announced during the Nintendo Direct presentation on June 9, and will be out later this year on the Switch 2.
The minute-and-a-half teaser doesn't show any actual gameplay, nor does it provide a launch window outside of 2026. We also don't know how much Nintendo is planning to charge for the game, although it's probably a safe bet to assume this will be a premium title with a matching price tag. All we really know at this hour is that the game is indeed in the works and is destined for the Switch 2 later this year.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time arrived on the Nintendo 64 in late 1998 and was unlike anything seen up to that point. The 3D action adventure game was initially planned for the 64DD, but was eventually moved to cartridge when that peripheral was canceled. Despite having just 32MB of memory to work with, Nintendo put out a masterpiece that pushed the limits of storytelling, puzzle-solving, and combat to new heights.
