GAME-scanner analysis

Rumors about the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake have been reignited by a store listing that named Monolith Soft as the developer. That would be an interesting development, given Monolith Soft’s previous collaboration with Nintendo on titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles. Monolith Soft’s involvement could mean a refreshed take on the classic gameplay, possibly with improved graphics and gameplay systems that better match modern standards. However, the change in the listing to simply Nintendo raises questions about how reliable this information really is.

What does this mean for players?

If Monolith Soft is indeed involved in development, players could look forward to a remake that stays faithful to the original while also adding new elements. That could enrich the experience for both newcomers and longtime fans of the franchise. The 2026 release date also gives fans plenty of time to shape their expectations and speculate about what the remake will include.
