The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Remake Game's Overview Trailer Reveals Hall of Fallen Foes
Nintendo began streaming on Wednesday an overview trailer for the Nintendo Switch 2 remake for the 1998 Nintendo 64 game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and it reveals the new Hall of Fallen Foes, an area where players can view statues of enemies they have defeated. Players can rematch bosses through the statues.
The game will launch on November 5.
The remake adds traditional camera controls, new motion controls, a proper jump button, and a roll dash action. Players can equip an item to the ZR button, and switch between them in a pop-up menu. A new Threads of Time menu helps players recap the story and recognize the next objective. Unlike the original game, time passes in town. Players can now hum into the Switch 2's microphone to play music in-game. The game also recognizes music from an ocarina that customers can purchase. The game also features added dialogue.
The game features compatibility with the Zelda Notes function in the Nintendo Switch App. Today's Record recaps a player's progress on the app. Gossip Quests functions as a scavenger hunt for points that can be exchanged for ocarina music scores. The scores can be used on the Play Ocarina function on the app. The app also includes an Ocarina of Time Quiz with over 2,000 questions. Rupees earned from the app can be used in-game and vice versa.
New amiibo for Young Link and Young Zelda will ship in 2027. Both will unlock in-game masks for the respective character. The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition of the Switch 2 console, and a matching Pro Controller and carrying case, will ship on October 29.
The original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted for N64 in November 1998 in the U.S. and Japan, and in December 1998 in Europe and Australia. It is the fifth mainline game in The Legend of Zelda series, and it is the first game in the franchise to feature 3D graphics. The game has since received rereleases on various systems, including via two collection discs for Nintendo GameCube, the Virtual Console on Nintendo Wii, and the Nintendo Classics app on Nintendo Switch. The game got a remastered edition for Nintendo 3DS titled The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in June 2011. The 3DS version, as well as one of the collection discs for GameCube, included a version of the game with different dungeons titled The Legend of Zelda: Master Quest based on a Nintendo 64DD title.
The game got a manga adaptation by Akira Himekawa, who has also drawn manga of other games in the franchise, in 2000. Viz Media has released the manga in English.
The franchise's live-action film will open April 30, 2027, a week earlier from its previously planned May 7, 2027 opening date. The May 7, 2027 opening date was itself a delay from the film's original March 26, 2027 opening date. Unlike most games in the series, the film has no subtitle.
