Nintendo faces fresh rumor activity after a wave of insider claims about upcoming Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda releases.
The reports, attributed to two online leakers known as Oscar Lemaire and Nate, say a multiplayer Star Fox spinoff could arrive this June while a new mainline Star Fox title might not appear until 2027.
Nintendo has not officially confirmed any of these reports.
Background and franchise context
Star Fox is one of Nintendo’s long-running franchises, first debuting on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.
Notable entries include Star Fox 64 (1997) and Star Fox Zero (2016), the latter developed by Nintendo in collaboration with PlatinumGames for the Wii U.
The series has a history of both single-player and multiplayer releases and has appeared across Nintendo platforms including the Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.
The Legend of Zelda franchise remains a cornerstone IP for Nintendo and frequently generates strong community interest whenever leaks surface.
What the insiders claimed (rewritten)
- According to French insider Oscar Lemaire, a Star Fox title slated for release in June is expected to be a multiplayer-focused spinoff, while a separate, full mainline Star Fox entry is reportedly targeted for a 2027 release window.
Lemaire described the June project as distinct from a primary numbered sequel and suggested the core new entry would come later.
- Another online source identified as Nate has reportedly claimed that a Zelda-related project planned for this year is specifically a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Nate also stated that Nintendo intends to announce the Star Fox project this month.
Reporting notes and verified facts
These statements are being presented as claims by named insiders and remain unverified by Nintendo.
Nintendo regularly uses Nintendo Direct presentations and official press channels to announce major releases for the Nintendo Switch and its eShop catalog; historically, the company has declined or not provided comment when unannounced projects leak.
Until Nintendo issues official confirmation, these reports should be treated as rumors.
What to watch next
If Nintendo follows its usual pattern, any major Star Fox or Zelda announcements would likely appear during a Nintendo Direct or official press release.
Fans tracking potential releases should monitor Nintendo’s official channels for confirmation and release details, and watch for updates about developer teams, platforms, and release windows.
