The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's remake is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, with Nintendo releasing an official launch trailer to mark the game's arrival.
The title revisits the landmark 1998 Nintendo 64 classic and brings the story of Link and Hyrule to Nintendo's latest hardware with modern presentation and added features.
Nintendo describes the remake as a two-era adventure that reintroduces familiar characters and scenarios with substantial audiovisual and systems upgrades.
The company says the package includes completely overhauled visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, expanded character dialogue, symphonic orchestral music, and updated camera and movement controls to modernize the original game's play experience.
A notable Switch 2–specific feature is integration with the console's built-in microphone.
Players can play or hum learned ocarina melodies within microphone range and have Link perform the song in-game; the game will also respond to compatible external instruments.
This hardware-enabled interaction is complemented by Zelda Notes, a dedicated service accessible through the Nintendo Switch App on compatible smart devices.
Zelda Notes lets players track their adventure, create and share ocarina melodies, and take a daily quiz that draws from a pool of more than 2,000 questions.
Nintendo also confirmed amiibo support tied to the remake.
New Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo are scheduled to launch in 2027 and will unlock in-game masks that evoke a retro graphical style.
Additionally, other amiibo figures from The Legend of Zelda series will remain useful in the remake for receiving helpful items.
The game is available both at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo has published a launch trailer to showcase the remake's updated presentation and gameplay mechanics, and the publisher has made a full cast list of voice actors available for players who want detail on the new performances.
For readers tracking Nintendo releases, the Ocarina of Time remake is a major Switch 2 launch title that combines a classic design with platform-specific enhancements.
