Ocarina of Time remake: Nintendo shows Dark Link, Hall of Fallen Foes and Zelda Notes in new trailer

Nintendo has shared new trailer footage for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, including Dark Link and the Hall of Fallen Foes.

  • The footage is said to show Dark Link, a location or feature referred to as the Hall of Fallen Foes, and a reference to Zelda Notes.
  • GameRant also says the trailer runs nearly five minutes and includes scenes with Young Link, Adult Link and several familiar Ocarina of Time locations.

What happened

Nintendo published a Japanese Switch 2 commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on October 16, 2026, according to an official post from the company. In the accompanying reporting, that release is linked to new trailer footage for the remake, including a brief scene that appears to show Dark Link facing off against Link.

IGN had previously reported that Nintendo had released two new trailers or TV spots for the remake. According to that coverage, the footage confirms that Dark Link appears in the game, although the exact context of the scene is limited to what is shown in the trailer.

GameRant then described a nearly five-minute overview trailer that also mentions a new place or feature called the Hall of Fallen Foes. That area is said to contain statues of defeated enemies and bosses; interacting with them would provide descriptions and location information. The same trailer description also mentions Zelda Notes support and references to Ocarina of Time amiibo.

GameRant also cites several specific scenes from the trailer, including Young Link in Kokiri Forest and at The Great Deku Tree, Adult Link in places such as the Water Temple, and NPCs like the Phonogram Man in the Kakariko Windmill. The available sources do not provide a full official feature list from Nintendo, so the Hall of Fallen Foes name and the exact Zelda Notes integration should still be treated cautiously.

Background

The available sources show that Nintendo shared several new pieces of footage around the Ocarina of Time remake in October 2026, but not every detail has been officially confirmed. Nintendo’s own post refers to a Switch 2 commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, while the specific terms Hall of Fallen Foes and Zelda Notes mainly come from external reporting.

Dark Link’s role is also described in the sources primarily based on trailer footage. IGN says the scene appears to show Dark Link, but the information provided does not include a separate official Nintendo explanation explicitly naming the character.

The external context around Zelda Notes suggests Nintendo had already tied features from that app to the remake. In the source references provided here, support for the app is mentioned, but not always with the same concrete features, so the exact implementation varies by report.
