Fans have reacted strongly to the price of the Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake, after a retailer listing suggested the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 version may be less than cost many players expected. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming to Switch 2 in 2026, Nintendo has officially confirmed, but the company has yet to announce the final price or exact release date. The discussion began when PlayAsia listed a Japan physical multi-language edition for $59.99. Fans were surprised by that price as many expected Nintendo to charge closer to $70 or $80 for a major Switch 2 Zelda release. But the listing should be taken with a grain of salt as retailer prices can be changed before launch. For now, your safest bet is that Ocarina of Time is confirmed for Switch 2, but the official Nintendo price is still not confirmed.
Why the Ocarina of Time Remake Price Is Getting Attention
There’s a little buzz around the Ocarina of Time remake price, as fans were expecting a premium price for one of Nintendo’s most famous games. The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s best franchises, and Ocarina of Time is often considered one of the best games ever made. This led many fans to assume that Nintendo would price the remake like a major new Switch 2 release. However, the PlayAsia listing showed instead US$59.99, which sparked surprise and debate online. Some players view that as good news and others think it could be a placeholder or a region specific price. For now, early retailer information is driving the conversation until. Nintendo reveals the official MSRP.

Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming back in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch 2. According to the official listing, the Nintendo 64 classic will be born again for a new generation. That confirms the platform and release year, but leaves a number of big questions unanswered. Nintendo has not yet announced the final price, file size, details of a physical edition, a collector’s edition, gameplay changes, or if there will be an upgrade path for Nintendo Switch Online players, or the exact launch date. The announcement trailer was brief as well, giving fans a small taste of the remake’s tone and visual direction.
Why Fans Are Talking The Value
Fans debate its value, as Ocarina of Time is both legendary and familiar. On the other, many players believe a full remake of such a significant game is worth full price if Nintendo rebuilds the visuals, controls, camera, dungeons, music and quality-of-life features. Some fans, on the other hand, say a remake of a 1998 game shouldn’t be priced like a new Zelda adventure unless it has major upgrades. The debate is also tied to broader frustration over modern game pricing. The Switch 2 software has also already made fans more sensitive to $70 and $80 price points. So now every major Nintendo title is subject to pricing scrutiny.
