The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came to Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026. Nintendo rebuilt the 1998 adventure with new visuals, voiced cutscenes, orchestral music, a free camera, a jump button and a continuous day and night cycle, and added Threads of Time, Zelda Notes and the Hall of Fallen Foes. The quest structure stays close to the original, and Changes from the Original lists what is different.
Link begins as a child among the Kokiri, the one boy in the forest with no fairy until Navi arrives. A warning from the Great Deku Tree sends him out into Hyrule, where he meets Princess Zelda and is drawn into a struggle over the Triforce with the Gerudo king Ganondorf. The story then crosses two eras of Hyrule, seven years apart, and what you do as a child changes the world you find as an adult.
