The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will release on November 5th

Announced during The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time got a release date, alongside a slew of details about just how far this remake goes.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will release on November 5th, 2026 and retail for $94.95 AUD digitally and the physical price is $109.95 AUD. There will also be a Limited Edition console, Pro Controller, Carrying Case and two new amiibo. They’re releasing earlier on October 29th.

The game itself will have a first print run with special textured foil packaging (on the left) “while stocks last”.

Now, for the game itself, we got our first real look at Young Link, Young Zelda, Kokiri Forest, Hyrule Field, Castle Town and a whole lot more in the trailer, even if very briefly. The game was played through by Eiji Aonuma, who went through the opening parts of the game.

Link can now jump in the game, and they’ve left loading screens in places where it makes sense to keep the feeling of the original. The graphics have also been completely overhauled, and while looking completely different, the layout of locations seems to be mostly the same, at least in a lot of places. The day and night cycle now continues no matter where you are, even in towns.

There are other improvements to the game, including a new feature called Threads of Time, where you can see the progress you’ve made in the story and check your next objective. As you complete the story and objectives, the tapestry here fills up. The game is also fully voiced now in cutscenes.

The Ocarina can now be played a number of ways, including the old-fashioned way with buttons, but you can also hum the tunes into the game using the system microphone. You can also play an instrument, including two Ocarinas that are being released alongside the game.

Returning from the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is Zelda Notes, which runs on a player’s mobile phone. You can play the Ocarina on there as well. There’s also a quiz, gossip quests, accomplishments and more.

We’ll have more on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time shortly.
