Nintendo recently shared the official tagline for the remake in a Japanese publication, giving fans a clue about the game’s overall feel and what the developers have in mind.
For years, Nintendo fans have wished for a new version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but many don’t realize it was already remade in 2011. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on the Nintendo 3DS improved the graphics, added helpful features, and allowed players to access items more easily. Because of this, Nintendo will likely make the upcoming remake for the Switch 2 significantly different from the 3DS version, even though over a decade has passed.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Has Been Reborn
Currently, Nintendo is planning a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, with an expected release sometime in 2026. A recent image from Nintendo’s summer catalog, shared on Twitter by Genki_JPN, hints at an upcoming reveal. The image promotes the remake with the tagline, “Reborn Across Time.”
It’s currently unknown if the tagline “Reborn Across Time” will appear in English commercials, or if it was just for the Japanese release. It might also become the game’s subtitle, which would save everyone the trouble of repeatedly writing out “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (2026)” whenever discussing the game online.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake’s Release Date Is Unconfirmed
Nintendo’s recent promotion of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake suggests it’s still on track for a release this year, although time is running short. It’s currently July 2026, and with no official release date announced, the game appears likely to launch around the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, which is expected in November.
Nintendo isn’t legally required to announce release dates far in advance, but they’ll want to create excitement as a new game gets closer to launch. They were slow to announce this game initially, which led to information leaking, and the longer they wait to share an official date, the more worried fans will become that the release might be delayed until 2027.
