It’s almost time to journey back to one of the most widely celebrated games of all time, as Nintendo is remaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo Switch 2.
The game boasts reimagined visuals, modernised gameplay and a refreshed soundtrack, setting it up to be a title worth playing for both new and returning fans alike. Regardless of whether you fall into either camp, you’ll want to know exactly when you can dive into the timeless adventure.
With that in mind, here’s the release date for the Ocarina of Time Remake, including exact start times.
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Release Date
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has a release date of November 5, 2026.
What better way to start the month of November than with a return to what is widely accepted as one of the best games of all time? And if you were planning to pick up Grand Theft Auto 6, like most people on the planet, you’ll still have two weeks to dedicate to Ocarina of Time before November 19.
That said, knowing exactly when you can boot up the game is a big part of the fun, but when it comes to Nintendo titles, it can often be a bit confusing. With that in mind, let’s dive into the Ocarina of Time Remake start times.
