The 1998 classic gets a full remake, exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, on November 5, 2026. That's a week after the Zelda hardware and two weeks before GTA VI. November is going to be expensive.

A real jump button instead of auto-jump. Free camera control. Redesigned dungeons. Day and night keep cycling in towns. And you can hum ocarina songs into the mic, which is either magical or deeply embarrassing on a train.
