Reborn through time

Discover an adventure for the ages in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, for Nintendo Switch 2. Featuring reimagined visuals, a refreshed soundtrack and modernised gameplay, this classic quest has been remade for a whole new era.

Wisdom, Power, Courage

The Triforce is a magical object made up of three golden triangles that represent wisdom, power and courage. It’s said that the Triforce will grant the wish of those who lay hands on it, and as such, its very existence has been an endless source of conflict in Hyrule.

The boy without a fairy...

Guided by destiny, Link sets out on a heroic journey that spans the land of Hyrule and unfolds across two different eras. Experience this timeless tale and its vibrant characters brought to life through new dialogue and fully voiced cutscenes.

Link

Navi

Princess
Zelda

Ganondorf

Impa

Saria

Darunia

Ruto

A young boy who is summoned by the Great Deku Tree to embark on a fated quest.

A fairy companion who accompanies Link on his travels.

The young princess of Hyrule seeking to protect her kingdom.

The menacing leader of the Gerudo who harbours ambitions to seize the Triforce.

Princess Zelda’s attendant and a member of the Sheikah.

A Kokiri girl and Link’s childhood friend.

The hot-headed leader of the Gorons who reside inside Death Mountain.

The free-spirited princess of the Zora, an aquatic people who live upstream from Hyrule’s main river.

Welcome to Hyrule

At the heart of this majestic kingdom lies Hyrule Field, a central meadow that serves as a gateway to bustling towns, a foreboding volcano, a picturesque lake, a harsh desert and many other interesting places.

Cover long distances on foot using the new dash ability, and freely leap over gaps and obstacles with the push of a button. You can even befriend a trusty steed that you can ride later on in your quest.

Seek out wisdom

Explore every nook and cranny of the kingdom, and help those who call this realm home to earn rewards for your troubles. Time passes no matter where you are in this game, and new faces – and foes – may surface after the sun has set.

Not sure where to go next? Consult the Threads of Time to recap the story so far, see your current objectives and admire a grand tapestry that chronicles Link’s journey.

Test thy courage

Dungeons and sacred temples can be found throughout Hyrule, filled with perplexing puzzles, fearsome foes, and tantalising treasures to be found. Use your wits – and the items at your disposal – to overcome the environmental obstacles, tests of logic, and malevolent monsters that lurk deep within...

Wield powerful gear

Whether you’re battling beasts, solving puzzles or off exploring, you’ll need to be equipped to handle any situation! Conveniently swap between weapons and items on the fly, and aim slingshots, bows and other tools with precision using motion controls.

Certain items will only be available to Link in each era of his adventure.

Kokiri Sword

Deku Shield

Fairy Slingshot

Deku Stick

Deku Nut

Bombs

Boomerang

The treasure of the Kokiri Forest, this sword is perfect for pint-sized heroes.

A small wooden shield that can protect you from attacks, but it will burn up if it catches fire.

Use the stretchy sling to fire Deku Seeds at distant targets.

This nifty branch is useful for whacking enemies with, but even more useful as a makeshift torch.

When thrown, this otherwise unassuming nut releases a flash of light that stuns nearby monsters.

Packed with explosive power, bombs will blow away anything that’s nearby when they go BOOM!

Throw it, and it will always come back. Handy for nabbing those out-of-reach items.

Mysterious melodies

Throughout your quest, you’ll learn songs that can be played on Link’s ocarina. These tunes will play an important role in Link’s journey, and can be used to open up new paths forward, turn day to night, and more.

Play the right notes using button controls, or try humming the song into the built-in microphone of Nintendo Switch 2. You could even try playing these songs on a real ocarina!

Compatible with amiibo!

You can tap compatible amiibo (sold separately), such as Young Link and Young Zelda (both releasing in 2027), to unlock special in-game masks that Link can wear.
