Series producer Eiji Aonuma showcased the first gameplay of the updated The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the next-generation console Switch 2 and announced the release date — November 5, 2026. Along with this, the exact file size of the game appeared on the eShop digital store.
How much space will the remake take?
According to updated Switch eShop backend data, the digital version size of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be 24.54 GB (which is slightly less than the initial preliminary estimate of 27 GB).
Key new features of the 1998 cult classic:
- Completely updated graphics and sound: reworked textures, smooth frame rates, fast loading times, and a full symphonic orchestral soundtrack.
- Updated controls and camera: smoother jumps, free running using new button combinations, and full camera control with the right stick.
- Voice acting and a living Hyrule: extended cutscenes are now fully voiced, character dialogues are expanded, and dynamic day-night cycles work everywhere, including towns.
- Threads of Time system: a progress log that helps you always know your next objective and gradually fills a grand tapestry of your adventures.
- Interactive Ocarina: hum melodies with your voice so Link plays them in the game, or use special accessories.
The first print run of physical copies will also receive commemorative packaging with a textured foil cover.
