A recent listing on the Australian Nintendo Store has provided an early indication of the digital price for the upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, potentially setting it at $59.99 USD. The listing was first highlighted by the gaming site Vooks.
While an official eShop listing is still pending, searching for "Zelda" on the Australian and New Zealand Nintendo websites revealed a price of $94.95 AUD for the digital edition, with a corresponding physical version priced at $109.95 AUD. This Australian pricing translates to an estimated $59.99 USD and £49.99 GBP.
This suggested price point aligns with Nintendo's pricing for titles like Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and is $10 more than the recent Star Fox remake. The $60 price may indicate that the Ocarina of Time remake will primarily feature graphical enhancements rather than a complete gameplay overhaul or a full reboot in the style of the recent open-world Zelda titles like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. For comparison, the Star Fox remake included new story cutscenes with voice acting, along with some quality-of-life improvements and new features, while largely retaining the original game's structure.
Further details regarding the scope and content of the Ocarina of Time remake are anticipated to be revealed by Nintendo this week. The company has scheduled two Nintendo Direct presentations: a dedicated Zelda Direct on September 8, followed by a general Nintendo Direct on September 9. These events are expected to shed more light on what players can expect from the updated classic.
