Zelda: Ocarina of Time trailer shows Switch 2 mic play ahead of Nov. 5

Nintendo has put out a new overview trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2, and the accompanying post on Nintendo of America’s site spells out what is new in this rebuilt version. The game is due on November 5, 2026, and Nintendo’s US store page lists it at $59.99.

What the trailer confirms

• Real-world ocarina input. Nintendo says you can hum a song Link already knows, or play it on a physical instrument, and the Switch 2 microphone picks it up so Link’s in-game ocarina reacts.
• Hall of Fallen Heroes. A new area holds statues of monsters you have beaten. You can visit it to read about each one or challenge it to a rematch.
• Presentation upgrades. Nintendo lists reworked visuals, cutscenes that are now fully voiced with more dialogue, and a full symphonic orchestral score.
• ZELDA NOTES. The game works with ZELDA NOTES, a feature inside the Nintendo Switch App for compatible smart devices. Nintendo’s footnote says it needs a Nintendo Account, a constant internet connection and a compatible device.
• amiibo. Two new amiibo figures based on Ocarina of Time arrive in 2027 and unlock special masks in the game. Existing Zelda-series amiibo will also give in-game rewards when scanned.

Context

Nintendo frames the release as part of the 40th anniversary of the original The Legend of Zelda. The story is still built around young Link, the fairy Navi, the search for the Triforce and the ocarina’s power over time.

What we don’t know yet

Nintendo gives the two new amiibo only a 2027 window, with no specific release date yet.
