Ocarina of Time Switch 2 just got a full overview trailer from Nintendo, and the November 5, 2026 remake is packing microphone song support, a Hall of Fallen Heroes, Zelda Notes, and amiibo rewards on top of the ground-up rebuild. The Nintendo news post and the official store page spell out what is new before launch. We covered the November 5 date reveal last month.
What the overview trailer highlights
This is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive remake of the N64 classic, built from the ground up with overhauled visuals, fully voiced cutscenes with expanded dialogue, and full symphonic orchestral music. Controls get a modern pass too, with jump, dash, and updated camera movement aimed at making it a clean entry point for new players. We broke those down in our look at the gameplay upgrades and the craft-style visuals.
The big interactive twist is the ocarina itself. Once Link has learned a melody, you can hum it or play it on a real instrument into the Switch 2 microphone, and his in-game ocarina will respond. Nintendo also added the Hall of Fallen Heroes, a gallery of statues for monsters you have defeated where you can read about them or jump into a rematch.
Zelda Notes, amiibo, price, and date
ZELDA NOTES ties in through the Nintendo Switch App on compatible phones. You can check daily accomplishments, hunt in-game locations from reference images, and play an ocarina on your device. Existing Legend of Zelda series amiibo unlock helpful in-game extras, and two new Ocarina of Time figures arrive in 2027 and unlock special in-game masks.
Digital Standard Edition is $59.99 on the Nintendo eShop, and the physical edition is $69.99. Nintendo lists an estimated 27 GB download and an ESRB rating of Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence. Launch day is November 5, 2026.
If you have been waiting to see how much is new beyond a visual refresh, this trailer answers it: mic songs, rematch statues, and phone-side Notes on top of the remake basics. Wishlist or pre-order on the Switch 2 store and set a reminder for November 5.
