A new retailer listing has given Zelda fans their first real pricing clue for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2, and the number is already sparking discussion.
PlayAsia is currently listing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Multi-Language) for Nintendo Switch 2 at US$59.99, with the product marked as a preorder and the expected shipping date still listed as “tba.” The listing identifies it as a Japan version, but notes that it includes subtitle support for Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It also says the game works on systems sold worldwide, though a regional account may be required for online features.
That price is notable because Nintendo has already shown that Switch 2 pricing can vary widely depending on the release. The Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were previously priced at $69.99 and $79.99 respectively for new physical buyers, while upgrade packs were offered separately for players who already owned the original Switch versions.
For Ocarina of Time, the $59.99 PlayAsia listing could mean several things. It may simply reflect regional import pricing, a placeholder price, or PlayAsia’s own early estimate before Nintendo confirms final pricing across all markets. But it also raises the obvious fan question: is this a massive ground-up remake, or a more conservative modernization of the Nintendo 64 classic?
Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is returning for a new generation on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. In its Nintendo Direct recap, Nintendo described the game as the return of the “critically acclaimed Nintendo 64 classic,” saying it has been “reborn” for Switch 2. The official wording confirms the platform and release year, but it does not yet spell out every detail about how extensive the remake will be.
That leaves plenty of room for speculation. A $59.99 price point sounds more restrained than the highest Switch 2 software prices, but price alone does not tell the full story. Nintendo could still deliver a visually rebuilt version with modern controls, quality-of-life updates, improved performance, and expanded presentation while keeping the core adventure close to the original. On the other hand, fans hoping for a full-scale reimagining in the style of Final Fantasy VII Remake may want to keep expectations grounded until Nintendo shows more gameplay.
PlayAsia’s own preorder blog frames the release as a physical Nintendo Switch 2 edition and highlights the familiar core of the original adventure: Link’s journey across Hyrule, the Master Sword, the Ocarina of Time, time travel between childhood and adulthood, and iconic locations like Kokiri Forest, Hyrule Field, Death Mountain, the Temple of Time, and Hyrule Castle.
For collectors, the listing is worth watching because it specifically points to a multi-language physical version. Import-friendly Zelda releases tend to attract attention quickly, especially when English support is included. Still, fans should remember that this is a retailer listing, not a final Nintendo pricing announcement for every region.
The safest takeaway right now is simple: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 is officially coming in 2026, PlayAsia has opened preorders for a multi-language physical version, and the current $59.99 listing is the first major hint at where the game may land in price. Whether that price reflects the remake’s true scope remains to be seen.
Until Nintendo reveals more, the mystery around this remake is almost fitting. Ocarina of Time has always been a game about stepping through a doorway into a changed world. Now Zelda fans are waiting to see just how much Hyrule has changed this time.
