Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 will support variable refresh rate (VRR) when played in docked mode, according to regional Nintendo eShop listings.
The remake, listed on the Japanese eShop and other regional stores, is also advertised with amiibo compatibility, HDR output, and surround-sound support.
Nintendo has scheduled the title for release on November 5, 2026.
Background and system support
Firmware update 23.0.0 previously added docked VRR to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, but initial support was limited: at launch the only title to officially use the feature was Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.
The eShop wording for Ocarina of Time specifies VRR for "compatible TVs," an important distinction that indicates the feature will apply in docked play rather than relying solely on the Switch 2's built-in display, which natively supports HDR and VRR.
What the eShop listing details
Nintendo's product pages for the remake list the following verified features:
- amiibo support
- HDR output
- Surround-sound support
- VRR for compatible TVs
These entries are part of the official store descriptions published by Nintendo in various regions and were visible on the Japanese eShop listing when the details became public.
Why docked VRR matters
VRR helps reduce screen judder and tearing when a game's frame rate fluctuates, which can improve the perceived smoothness of action-heavy or unlocked-frame-rate modes.
With Nintendo enabling docked VRR in system software, developers can implement the feature for compatible TVs to provide a steadier visual experience in docked play.
Release and availability
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 launches on November 5, 2026.
Pre-order pages and regional eShop listings reflect the features above and confirm Nintendo's official support for these display and accessory functions.
Editorial note
The confirmation of docked VRR on a high-profile Nintendo release marks the first major instance beyond the system's Welcome Tour demo where developers are advertising the feature directly.
As with any platform feature, further titles and official documentation from Nintendo will clarify which games and TV models fully support the functionality.
