Preorders are now available for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5. This comprehensive remake updates one of the most acclaimed games in the series with enhanced visuals and improved playability for both docked and handheld modes. Both physical and digital versions of the game can be preordered.
As is customary for Nintendo releases this generation, a price difference exists between the physical and digital editions. Digital copies are priced at an MSRP of $59.99, while the physical version will cost $69.99. The full game is included on the cartridge for physical copies.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is a faithful reimagining of the original 1998 Nintendo 64 title. The remake features a complete graphical overhaul to meet modern standards, while Nintendo emphasizes it as a "faithful interpretation" for current hardware. Character interactions have been expanded with additional dialogue to further flesh out personalities. This marks the second major remake of Ocarina of Time; a 3D version with graphical improvements and quality-of-life updates was previously released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011. The original Nintendo 64 version is also accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service.
