The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake file size confirmed: 27 GB on Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo’s high-profile remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026, and digital pre-release listings now confirm the game’s download footprint.
Ahead of launch, Nintendo’s eShop entry and physical retail materials in Japan list a 27 GB file size for the digital edition of the remake, giving players and retailers a clear target for storage planning.
Official listings and retailer materials
According to Nintendo’s eShop listing and in-store retail cards circulated in Japan, the digital edition for the Ocarina of Time remake requires 27 GB of storage.
Social reporting from the Twitter account Genki_JPN helped highlight the in-store card evidence; because printed retailer cards cannot be changed after production, they provide a strong indication that the 27 GB figure is finalized.
Rewritten statement for clarity
Nintendo’s digital storefront and printed retail listings both show the Ocarina of Time remake requires a 27 GB download.
The presence of that figure on printed in-store cards in Japan — which are finalized before sale — reinforces the accuracy of the listing on the eShop.
How 27 GB stacks up on Switch platforms
For context, recent first-party Nintendo file-size figures listed for Switch platforms have varied: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been listed at 24 GB on Switch 1 with an additional Switch 2 upgrade pack of roughly 10 GB, while other recent Switch 2 first-party titles have been reported in the mid-teens to high-teens GB range — examples include Star Fox at approximately 15.1 GB and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book near 19.8 GB, per their storefront listings.
Release and pre-order information
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 launches on November 5, 2026.
Physical and digital pre-orders are available now through major retailers, including Amazon and GameStop, and the game will be downloadable from the Nintendo eShop on release day.
Why the file size matters
A confirmed 27 GB download gives Nintendo Switch 2 owners a reliable expectation for storage needs and may influence decisions on physical versus digital purchases ahead of the remake’s release.
With confirmed storefront listings now public, players can plan installs and storage accordingly before November’s launch.
