To celebrate the series’ 40th anniversary, Nintendo may release a special, Zelda-themed console, potentially alongside the rumored remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Nate the Hate recently reported that Nintendo is developing a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for a major first-party Switch 2 launch. Shpeshal Nick corroborated this, adding that the Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 has a significant budget. There has been speculation that the remake could use the Breath of the Wild engine. Notably, Nintendo has previously released two special editions of the Switch with a Zelda theme: a Switch Lite based on The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, released in September 2024, and an OLED Switch with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom theme in 2023. Shpeshal Nick also mentioned that the company is preparing a new limited-edition Zelda console to accompany the Ocarina of Time remake, but he is unsure whether the two will be bundled together.

Zelda-Themed Switch 2 with Ocarina of Time Remake Possible at Nintendo Direct in June 2026?

The Ocarina of Time remake is slated for release in late 2026, potentially around the holiday season. Nintendo may reveal the special edition Switch 2 at the Nintendo Direct showcase in June. It remains unconfirmed whether the game will be included with the new console, though Nintendo previously launched the Switch 2 with a bundle that included a digital code for Mario Kart World. If these reports prove accurate, the Zelda-themed Switch 2 could be available around summertime in 2026.
