Nintendo insider NatetheHate claims a ground-up remake of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* is coming to Switch 2 in the second half of 2026. This potential remake, reported in his podcast, could move beyond a simple HD remaster to offer more design freedom, though details on whether it's a direct recreation or a new interpretation remain unclear. The rumor gains weight given the game's 40th anniversary in 2026 and the upcoming live-action *Zelda* movie, which Nintendo likely wants to promote with a modern version of the classic.

While not yet official, the report aligns with other recent Nintendo announcements, including the return of Star Fox this summer after a decade-long absence and the casting of Glen Powell as Fox McCloud in *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*. NatetheHate's information has also been corroborated by *Videogames Chronicle*. The timing also makes sense for Nintendo to capitalize on the *Zelda* movie's release next year.

If true, the remake would be a significant event for fans, though physical collectors face a potential dilemma. Nintendo recently announced price increases for physical Switch 2 games, making digital versions more expensive starting May 21 with the launch of *Yoshi and the Mysterious Book*.
