Nintendo fans are eagerly awaiting official news on two of the most anticipated projects reportedly in development for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2: a remake of the beloved The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and a revival of the Star Fox franchise.
These rumored titles have generated widespread excitement, reflecting the enduring popularity of Nintendo’s landmark franchises and the company’s ability to capture the imaginations of both long-time fans and newcomers.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally launched for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and has since been heralded as one of the most influential games in history.
The game has seen various re-releases, including a highly regarded remaster for the Nintendo 3DS, but fans have been clamoring for a full-scale remake optimized for modern hardware like the rumored Nintendo Switch 2.
Meanwhile, Star Fox, another classic Nintendo property, last saw a mainline entry with Star Fox Zero for the Wii U in 2016.
The franchise retains a loyal following who would welcome its return to current generation consoles.
Much of the recent speculation stemmed from gaming insider NateTheHate, who originally suggested that announcements regarding both The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and the new Star Fox game could be imminent.
However, NateTheHate has since provided further clarification on social media.
In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), the insider emphasized, using clear language, that the Star Fox revival is expected to be revealed this month, specifically either through the official Nintendo Today app, available on iOS and Android devices, or via an official announcement on Nintendo’s X account.
This clarification helps narrow the timeframe and channels for fans to monitor for breaking news.
Nintendo has a storied history of surprising its audience with stealth reveals and shadow drops—often during Nintendo Direct presentations or through their official digital channels such as the eShop or social media.
While the community continues to scour for official confirmation, the runaway popularity of both rumored projects underscores Nintendo’s unique position in the gaming landscape.
Notably, the company’s hardware continues to break sales milestones: as of 2023, the Nintendo Switch platform has sold over 125 million units worldwide, according to official Nintendo financial reports.
This phenomenal install base establishes the Switch ecosystem—and its successors—as ideal platforms for flagship releases like Ocarina of Time Remake and a new Star Fox entry.
As anticipation mounts, Nintendo fans are advised to keep a close eye on both the Nintendo Today app and the company’s official X account for any forthcoming Star Fox announcements.
With industry insiders clarifying the timeframe and platforms for potential reveals, the stage is set for a major content boost on Nintendo Switch 2, should these beloved franchises receive their moment in the spotlight.
