Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Price Leak Hints at Holiday 2026 Plans
A possible price for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced online, and it could be a useful clue about how big Nintendo is aiming the project to be. Nintendo first teased the game at the close of the latest general Nintendo Direct, framing it as the platform’s major holiday 2026 release.
No specific launch date for the Ocarina of Time remake has been officially confirmed yet, though it’s currently expected to arrive later this year. The reveal trailer didn’t show much beyond a quick look at Link resting in his home at the start of the story, while also hinting that the remake will deliver a major visual leap over the original. Beyond that, Nintendo has kept details under wraps, including what the game will cost—something fans will likely watch closely.
Nintendo also appears to have removed some notable details from its own Ocarina of Time remake descriptions, but players were quick to spot what was taken out.
Possible Ocarina of Time Remake Price Leaked
Even though Nintendo hasn’t announced the price for the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, a retailer listing may have put a number on it early. PlayAsia has listed the remake for $59.99, a figure that could be either a placeholder or an actual retail price. Of course, the only way to know for certain is to wait for Nintendo to confirm the cost itself, and the timing of that reveal is still unclear.
If the game really is slated for a November release, as some speculation suggests, then the price question should get answered sooner rather than later.
Identify the silhouettes before time runs out.
If the Ocarina of Time remake launches at $59.99 like the listing suggests, that may imply Nintendo isn’t planning a huge expansion in scope compared to the Nintendo 64 original. In that scenario, the remake could be closer to a high-end visual overhaul rather than a fully rebuilt experience—similar in spirit to the kind of approach seen with the Switch 2 version of Star Fox. Nintendo has never been afraid to sell premium-priced releases, including $80 games, so a lower tag would likely point to a more contained transformation. Conversely, if the remake is truly more ambitious, it would be reasonable to expect a higher price—potentially in the $80 range or at least nearer to it.
Nintendo began rolling out $80 games with the Switch 2, starting with Mario Kart World. The upcoming Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is also set for $80. With Ocarina of Time positioned as the big Switch 2 holiday headline, it wouldn’t be shocking to see it land at $80 as well—if it offers enough meaningful changes to justify that kind of pricing. In the end, how ambitious Nintendo is with the remake probably won’t be clear until the company shares more concrete information.

For now, fans can expect more official coverage at some point in the coming months. A showcase within the next few months seems likely, and September is a plausible window. Nintendo could fold it into a broader Nintendo Direct, or it could give the game its own dedicated presentation—similar to the separate Direct-style coverage recently seen for Splatoon Raiders. Until Nintendo provides more details, the best strategy for players is to stay alert for additional updates and potential leaks as they continue to appear.
