Limited Edition Zelda-Themed Switch 2 to Launch with Ocarina of Time Remake – Rumor
Rumors are circulating that Nintendo is preparing a remake of the beloved classic, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, specifically for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This information was recently corroborated by prominent insider Nate the Hate, following earlier claims from another source, Shpeshal_Nick, who had suggested in late 2024 that the project would benefit from a 'substantial budget.'
Adding to the excitement, Shpeshal_Nick further indicated that Nintendo also intends to release a special limited edition Switch 2 console, adorned with a Legend of Zelda theme. However, it remains uncertain whether this highly anticipated game would be bundled alongside the themed console.
It's worth noting that special edition Zelda consoles, while sought after, are not released with high frequency. For instance, in September 2024, Nintendo unveiled a unique Switch Lite version to commemorate the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a title notable for making Princess Zelda a playable character for the first time in the series. Prior to that, a striking Switch OLED model was introduced to coincide with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
