A retail listing from Norwegian electronics retailer Elkjøp has renewed attention on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake by naming Monolith Soft as the developer.
Nintendo has not officially confirmed the developer attachment, and the listing itself should be regarded as an unverified retail entry rather than a company announcement.
Background and context
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally launched on the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and is one of Nintendo’s most celebrated franchises.
The title received a remaster for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
Monolith Soft is a Japanese studio known for the Xenoblade Chronicles series and for contributing to several high-profile Nintendo projects.
The company’s recent Xenoblade titles include Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017) and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (2022).
Monolith Soft is also credited with providing development support on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in various capacities, according to game credits and developer acknowledgments.
Retail listing and official status
Elkjøp’s product entry listed Monolith Soft as the developer for an Ocarina of Time remake.
Rewritten in plain journalistic terms: a retail database entry briefly attributed development duties to Monolith Soft, but Nintendo has made no public statement confirming that studio’s involvement.
At the time of writing, Nintendo has not issued a press release, Nintendo Direct segment, or eShop posting that confirms Monolith Soft as the developer of any new Ocarina of Time release.
What we know (verified)
- The original Ocarina of Time released on Nintendo 64 in 1998.
- A remastered edition, Ocarina of Time 3D, launched for Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
- Monolith Soft developed the Xenoblade Chronicles series and is credited on multiple Nintendo first-party projects for development support.
What remains unconfirmed
Nintendo has not publicly confirmed Monolith Soft’s role on an Ocarina of Time remake.
Until Nintendo announces details via official channels — historically Nintendo Direct or formal press releases and eShop listings — the developer attribution from a retailer should be treated as unverified information.
We will monitor official Nintendo communications for confirmation and report updates as they are released.
