Nintendo Life has opened a new community feature inviting players to share short memories of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as the franchise again draws fresh attention.
Ocarina of Time, developed by Nintendo's EAD division and first released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, is one of the series’ most influential entries; it later received a high-profile re-release as Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011 and is available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack’s Nintendo 64 library.
What Nintendo Life is asking for
The outlet is soliciting concise, 100-word maximum recollections from readers to assemble a community-focused article.
In journalistic terms, Nintendo Life emphasized that Ocarina of Time remains a landmark title for many players, whether they first encountered it on the Nintendo 64 in 1998 or discovered it through later re-releases.
Submission guidelines (summary)
- Keep entries to 100 words maximum so the final piece can include many voices.
- Limit yourself to one standout memory rather than multiple submissions.
- Understand that not all submissions can be published, though each will be read.
- Deadline for entries is Sunday, 1 November 2026.
How to submit
Send your memory via Nintendo Life’s Contact page and select the subject line “Ocarina Memories.” Provide your name and email, paste your submission in the message box, and submit.
Nintendo Life’s story (by Gavin Lane, with imagery credited to Zion Grassl) frames the call as part of broader coverage that tracks how classic Nintendo titles continue to resonate across platforms like the Nintendo 64, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch.
Why this matters
Ocarina of Time’s legacy is reflected in its critical standing and in multiple platform revivals.
Coverage of remakes, re-releases and community response often appears in outlets and presentations familiar to Nintendo audiences, including Nintendo Direct announcements and eShop updates.
This call for memories is an opportunity for players to document personal connections to a title that has shaped modern 3D adventure design.
If you have a vivid Ocarina moment — a first playthrough memory, a milestone shared with friends, or something that captured what the game meant to you — prepare a tight 100-word submission and send it before the November 1, 2026 deadline for a chance to be featured.
