The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is now available exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo’s November 5 release rebuilds the adventure around Link’s journey to become the Hero of Time and stop Ganondorf from taking the Triforce.
The remake introduces overhauled visuals, orchestral music, voice acting and expanded cutscenes. Nintendo has also updated movement and camera controls, while ranged weapons can be aimed using either button or motion controls through the options menu.
An ocarina you can hum into
Players can perform the game’s songs with traditional button inputs or use the Switch 2 microphone to hum, or play an instrument, into the system. Those melodies remain part of solving the adventure’s puzzles, including opening routes and changing the time of day.
The accompanying ZELDA NOTES service in the Nintendo Switch App adds location-based Gossip Quests, a quiz with more than 2,000 questions and an ocarina players can use on their smart device. A Nintendo Account and compatible device are required, and certain features need a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
