The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, and preorders are already live through the Nintendo Store. Nintendo detailed the price, release date, and packaging during its Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8, so buyers now have everything needed to lock in a copy.
Quick answer: Preorder the physical version for $69.99 or the digital version for $59.99 directly from your region’s online Nintendo Store. The game launches November 5, 2026, on Switch 2 only.
Ocarina of Time remake price on Switch 2
The remake comes in two versions at two different prices. The boxed copy costs more than the download, which matches how Nintendo has been pricing its recent Switch 2 releases.
| Version | Price |
|---|---|
| Physical (boxed) | $69.99 |
| Digital (eShop) | $59.99 |
That price sits below Nintendo’s biggest flagship Switch 2 titles. Both Mario Kart World and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave carry a $79.99 physical price, so the Ocarina of Time remake undercuts them by $10.
Where to preorder the Ocarina of Time remake
The most reliable place to secure a copy right now is your region’s online Nintendo Store. Major retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy had not opened listings at launch of preorders, though their product pages are expected to appear closer to release.
Note: The first print run of the physical version ships with special packaging featuring textured foil cover art, available while supplies last. If you want that packaging, order the boxed version early rather than waiting.
Release date and platform
The remake launches on November 5, 2026, roughly two weeks ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6. It is a Switch 2 title only. There is no version for the original Nintendo Switch or the Switch Lite, so those consoles cannot run it.
The game is rated Everyone 10+ for Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence, and it is single-player.
Collector’s editions and preorder bonuses
Nintendo is not offering any preorder bonus or a more expensive collector’s edition through its own store. There are no statues, art books, or early-access tiers bundled by Nintendo, which fits how the company usually handles first-party launches.
Third-party retailers may add their own preorder bonuses as the November launch gets closer. Those extras, if they appear, are likely to be limited to select regions.
Zelda Switch 2 console and amiibo
A Zelda-themed Switch 2 console and a matching Pro Controller arrive on October 29, 2026, just ahead of the game. Prices for the console and controller have not been announced, and the console does not include a copy of the remake, so you still need to buy the game separately.
Two amiibo are also coming, one for Link and one for Zelda. Tapping either amiibo to your controller while playing the remake unlocks Nintendo 64-style heads for the matching character.
If you are deciding between versions, the choice comes down to price and format. The digital copy saves $10, while the physical copy gets you the textured foil packaging on the first print run. Either way, ordering through the Nintendo Store now is the surest way to have the game ready on November 5.
