Switch 2 Zelda leak

A reported The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 looks more plausible after Nintendo publicly lined up other Zelda plans the same leak also described. (gamerant.com (nintendo.com) The rumor came from podcaster NateTheHate, who said on a March 27, 2026 episode that Nintendo has an Ocarina of Time remake planned for Switch 2 and is targeting it for 2026. Nintendo Everything summarized that report and said the project’s scope is still unclear. (youtube.com) (nintendoeverything.com) Game Rant argued the leak gained weight after Nintendo confirmed ZELDA NOTES, a companion feature for the Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, because the same wave of rumor reporting had pointed to more Zelda activity on the new hardware. Nintendo’s official site says ZELDA NOTES is available through the Nintendo Switch App for those two Switch 2 editions. (gamerant.com) (nintendo.com) Nintendo has not announced an Ocarina of Time remake on its Direct archive, news pages, or current Switch 2 store lineup as of April 12, 2026. The company’s official Switch 2 game pages list titles such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Mario Tennis Fever, and third-party releases, but not a new Ocarina of Time. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) That gap is why the story is still a leak, not a reveal. Nintendo’s most recent official presentation in its archive was a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase on February 5, 2026, and that format focused on publishing partners rather than Nintendo’s own unannounced first-party slate. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The game at the center of the rumor carries unusual weight for Nintendo. Ocarina of Time first released on Nintendo 64 in 1998, then received Ocarina of Time 3D on Nintendo 3DS in 2011, so a Switch 2 version would be Nintendo revisiting one of its most reissued Zelda games again. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Rumor coverage has also split on what “remake” means here. Nintendo Everything said only that a remake exists in the report, while Game Rant said the leak points to something more than a straight port of the 2011 Nintendo 3DS version. (nintendoeverything.com) (gamerant.com) Nintendo has been expanding Zelda’s presence on Switch 2 in ways that are already public. Its support and product pages describe ZELDA NOTES as exclusive to the Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and the company has also been pushing the broader Nintendo Today! app as a daily update channel. (nintendo.com) (nintendo.com) For now, the strongest verified fact is narrower than the rumor: Nintendo is actively building new Zelda-related features and messaging around Switch 2, but it still has not confirmed any new Ocarina of Time project.
