As the November 5th, 2026 release of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake approaches, IGN is offering players a chance to revisit the original game with free unlimited access to its comprehensive checklists and walkthroughs. This promotion runs from October 8th to November 5th, 2026.
The guides aim to help both returning players and newcomers experience Ocarina of Time without the frustration of backtracking through dungeons or missing key items. IGN's walkthrough covers all main objectives and pickups, from the initial days in Kokiri Forest to the final confrontation at Ganon's Castle.
Comprehensive Guide Resources
Players can utilize unlimited checkmarks to track their progress through the game's main quests, side quests, and mini-games. For those aiming to achieve 100% completion, IGN also provides detailed guides for locating all Heart Pieces, Golden Skulltulas, and Big Poes.
Accessing Ocarina of Time
The original Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time can be played on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service, which includes access to the Nintendo 64 collection. An individual membership costs $49.99. Alternative methods for playing the game involve acquiring older console versions, such as the N64, GameCube, or Nintendo 3DS iterations, through second-hand markets. The Nintendo Switch Online route is recommended for accessibility across multiple platforms.
These free checklist resources from IGN are available for a limited time, encouraging players to immerse themselves in the classic adventure before the remake launches.
