So far, Nintendo has given us almost nothing about what to expect from the Switch 2 in the second half of 2026. However, reports suggest The Legend of Zelda fans are getting a major gift for the venerable series’ 40th anniversary.
According to a prominent Nintendo leaker called Natethehate, and corroborated by Video Games Chronicle, Nintendo is set to release a full-scale remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 this holiday season. Of course, Nintendo hasn’t confirmed this yet, and there’s a chance it’s not even real. But, as someone for whom Ocarina is about as important as a piece of art can be to a person, I can’t stop thinking about it.
Assuming it’s real, what should an Ocarina of Time remake bring to the table? And what kinds of pitfalls should it avoid? Let’s talk about it. And if all of this turns out to be a false alarm and there is no remake, I humbly welcome all of you to call me an idiot in the future.
An Ocarina of Time remake should be different enough to justify its existence
