During a Legend of Zelda stream for the franchise\u2019s 40th anniversary, Nintendo announced that the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake for the Switch 2 is launching on November 5th. The release date makes Ocarina of Time one of just a few big-budget titles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/944229\/grand-theft-auto-6-release-calendar-summer-game-fest\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">launching in the same month as Grand Theft Auto VI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/945745\/nintendo-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-direct-june-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo first teased the remake in June<\/a>, though it didn\u2019t reveal much aside from a brief trailer. Today\u2019s event provided a clearer glimpse at how the company is approaching remaking one of its most influential games and the first 3D Zelda adventure. The updated version of Ocarina of Time will be the first Zelda release that\u2019s exclusive to the Switch 2, and longtime Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma described the remake as \u201ca faithful interpretation using modern technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The gameplay shown at the event revealed much more detailed graphics compared to the N64 original \u2014 including an intimidating take on the Great Deku Tree and a surprisingly fancy hat for Link \u2014 along with free camera movement. Other new features include something called \u201cthreads of time,\u201d which makes it easier to see where (and when) your next destination is, and the ability to hum tunes in the game instead of playing them via the controller. Also: Link can jump now when you press a button.
