After years of rumors and countless fan-made Unreal Engine tech demos of varying quality, it sounds like we might finally be getting a ground-up remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
That's according to Nintendo insider NatetheHate, who said in the latest edition of his podcast that a remake of the seminal Nintendo 64 game would be coming to Switch 2 in the second half of 2026. The reliable tipster said he doesn't know whether Nintendo is making a 1:1 remake of the original 3D Zelda entry, or something "that's a little more free to explore design choices," adding that he was initially reluctant to share the information he'd received in case we ended up getting little more than an HD remaster. But it sounds like this is a more ambitious undertaking than that.
Ocarina of Time has of course been remastered before, with 2011's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS generally considered to be the best version of the game you can play today. The original 1998 game is also easily accessible via emulation through Nintendo Switch Online, but a modern remake for Switch 2 does make some sense.
For one, 2026 marks the series' 40th anniversary, and if you asked every Zelda fan alive what their favorite entry is, you can bet that OoT would feature pretty high in the final rankings. We're also getting that live-action Zelda movie next year, and Nintendo will no doubt want to make sure audiences have done their homework on the games that inspired it
