Ocarina of Time remake verschijnt op 5 november 2026 op Nintendo Switch 2 met Zelda-amiibo-ondersteuning

IGN says the remake supports all existing Zelda amiibo, and the trailer shows rewards such as hearts, Green Potions, and a Deku Stick.

According to IGN, two new amiibo were also announced earlier: Young Link and Young Zelda.

What happened

Nintendo has shared a new overview trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. IGN describes updated environments, characters, and combat, but the provided sources do not give a full picture of the exact scope of those changes. The trailer was released on 14 October 2026, the same day Nintendo of America shared the release information.

The clearest confirmation comes from Nintendo of America. In the pinned post, the company says The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 November 2026. The post also includes a pre-order link and explicitly labels the game as a Switch 2 release. The embed text further says the journey through Hyrule begins when Ocarina of Time arrives exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 November.

IGN also reports that the remake supports all existing Zelda amiibo. In the trailer, examples of in-game rewards are shown, including hearts, Green Potions, and a Deku Stick. The exact function of those amiibo bonuses is not explained further in the supplied information, and there is no confirmation that the rewards go beyond those examples.

According to IGN, two new amiibo had already been tied to the game: Young Link and Young Zelda. The site also says previously announced Ocarina of Time amiibo would unlock wearable masks for Zelda and Link, but that detail is not further specified in the available sources. That means it remains unclear which amiibo grant which rewards, and whether those rewards are limited to items or also include cosmetic or other extras.

Background

The available sources use the term "remake" for this project, but the supplied information does not include a direct official product label from Nintendo itself. As a result, the only confirmed detail is that Nintendo of America is positioning the game as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 with a fixed release date. The sources do not mention an alternative product category such as remaster, and no additional official description is provided to settle that distinction.

The combination of an overview trailer, amiibo support, and a fixed release date suggests Nintendo has sharpened the campaign around this release in October 2026. At the same time, the exact contents of the trailer remain limited to what IGN describes: updated environments, characters, and combat. The supplied information does not include a frame-by-frame breakdown of changes, technical specifications, or confirmation of the full set of gameplay adjustments.

The amiibo information also remains partly open. What is confirmed is that IGN says all existing Zelda amiibo are supported and that the trailer shows examples of hearts, Green Potions, and a Deku Stick. IGN also mentions two newly announced amiibo, Young Link and Young Zelda, and refers to older Ocarina of Time amiibo that would unlock wearable masks for Zelda and Link. However, the sources do not provide a complete list of rewards, an exact breakdown per amiibo, or confirmation of any extra features beyond those item bonuses.
