Nintendo has reaffirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is still scheduled to launch for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, easing concerns that the long-awaited return of the Nintendo 64 classic could slip into next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The update appeared in Nintendo\u2019s latest financial results material, where the company listed Ocarina of Time among its announced first-party Nintendo Switch 2 titles. Nintendo also stated that the game \u201cis also scheduled to be released this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The confirmation matters because Nintendo has still not announced a specific release date for the Switch 2 title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Nintendo\u2019s official product page, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remains listed as \u201cComing 2026.\u201d The page describes the game as the Nintendo 64 classic returning for a new generation, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The listing also confirms the game as a digital Nintendo Switch 2 title published by Nintendo. Its ESRB descriptors include \u201cAnimated Blood\u201d and \u201cFantasy Violence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nintendo has only confirmed the 2026 release window for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VICE reported that rumors have pointed to a possible November launch, but the outlet also noted that the date has not been guaranteed by Nintendo. The speculation appears tied partly to recent retail and amiibo-related chatter, along with the game\u2019s ESRB rating appearing ahead of release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nintendo Life also reported that Nintendo\u2019s latest financial materials reconfirmed several upcoming Switch 2 release windows, including Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave for September 17, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for October 22, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for December 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remake was officially promoted after Nintendo\u2019s June 2026 Direct. Nintendo of America also shared on X that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time \u201cwill be reborn on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026,\u201d giving fans another official signal that the project remains part of Nintendo\u2019s 2026 plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That gives Nintendo a major Zelda title for the Switch 2\u2019s 2026 slate, but questions remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nintendo has not yet revealed the final launch date, preorder details, pricing, physical edition plans, or whether the remake will receive a dedicated showcase before release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, the important part is simple: Nintendo still says The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
