The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Pre-orders to Open on August 4 - Rumor

The updated version of the classic 1998 game is expected to be released by the end of 2026.

The GameStop chain of stores may have prematurely revealed the pre-order opening date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Users found a mention in the store's search results of pre-orders starting on August 4, 2026.

Nintendo has not yet commented on this information, so it should be considered a rumor. However, if the information is confirmed, the opening of pre-orders could be accompanied by a full presentation of the project. So far, the company has only shown a short teaser during the June Nintendo Direct, but it did not reveal any gameplay features, the scale of the rework, or the exact release date.

Previously, a description of the project briefly appeared on Nintendo's official website, which was soon deleted. It referred to the game as a full remake of the classic Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 with updated models, modern graphics, and classic gameplay. This suggests that the developers are apparently not planning to turn Ocarina of Time into an open-world adventure like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is scheduled for 2026.
