2026 will no doubt go down in history as being the year of Zelda. Sure, many will argue that Grand Theft Auto VI will dominate the headlines, but older gamers with wistful nostalgia are looking forward to something else entirely. If your knees creak when you walk upstairs, there's a game coming this year that'll take you right back to your childhood. Celebrating 40 years of Zelda, we're getting a remake of the all-time classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. And it may be coming sooner than you think!
An all-too-brief announcement trailer back on June 9, 2026, confirmed something we've known for a while in the gaming community. A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TIme is coming this year to Nintendo Switch 2. We didn't get gameplay, we barely saw visuals, and we weren't given a release date beyond it coming out some time this year. An excruciating tease for fans of the franchise aching to learn more about the retelling of Link's hero's journey. Thankfully, GameStop may have just confirmed the date!
Since removed, we got a brief glimpse of the expected pre-order date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina...
