Nintendo's store listing for the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time now includes an estimated file size, offering one of the first concrete technical details ahead of the title's planned November release.
The entry on Nintendo's digital storefront lists the rebuilt N64 classic at approximately 27GB.
The original Ocarina of Time, first released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, is widely regarded as one of the most influential action-adventure games of its generation; this remake is positioned as a modern reworking for Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
Nintendo frames the remake as a comprehensive update designed for modern hardware and audiences, emphasizing that the version available on the Nintendo eShop has been rebuilt for current systems.
The store listing itself flags the 27GB figure as an estimate, noting explicitly that the file size may change between the time of listing and the game's November launch.
For context, the Switch 2 has already seen several substantial releases: the recent Star Fox remake that launched on Switch 2 in June required roughly 15.1GB of storage, while The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is listed on the platform at about 20GB and Breath of the Wild at approximately 24GB.
Those comparisons help frame Ocarina of Time's place among Switch 2 titles in terms of storage requirements.
This official file-size disclosure is one of the first technical details made public via Nintendo's digital storefront for the remake.
For players managing limited internal storage on the Nintendo Switch 2, the estimated 27GB figure provides an early indication of the space they may need to free up in advance of the release.
As always with digital storefront listings, the listed sizes are subject to revision.
Nintendo's note that the 27GB figure is an estimate should remind consumers and retailers that final download sizes can differ at launch, depending on last-minute patches, localization packages, or other post-announcement changes.
The listing also reinforces Nintendo's continued use of the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Store pages to provide technical and pre-order information ahead of major releases.
