Nintendo Reveals Ocarina of Time Remake Bonuses for Switch 2

Nintendo is preparing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 with retailer bonuses, early purchase items and additional content details revealed through announcements from Japanese retailers and gaming reports.

According to Famitsu, Nintendo has revealed more than 15 pre-order bonuses for the remake at participating retailers in Japan. The offers include character stickers, charms, a tote bag, smartphone stand and a wooden diorama.

The retailer-exclusive items vary by store, while the Japanese physical release also includes two limited early purchase bonuses: an original art card set from Ocarina of Time and a The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary sticker.

Vice reported that availability of these physical bonuses depends on individual product listings and retailer stock. The offers are currently focused on Japanese retailers, with international availability depending on each seller.

Nintendo's remake has also drawn attention for its visual updates and gameplay adjustments ahead of its November 5, 2026 release. The Knight News reported that the updated version introduces technical changes while keeping the core gameplay of the original title.

Reviews of the remake have been mixed among longtime fans, with some questioning whether the changes go far enough. Jordan Minor, a Writer at PC Mag, criticized the approach in a comment cited by The Knight News.

"[Ocarina of Time is] a safer remake, with new graphics on the same game." said Jordan Minor, a Writer at PC Mag.

ScreenRant reported that Nintendo is also preparing Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo figures scheduled for release in 2027. The figures can unlock special in-game masks based on the characters from the original 1998 release.

The Young Link amiibo features Link with Navi, while the Young Zelda amiibo shows the princess holding the instrument central to the game's story. Both figures are available for pre-order according to ScreenRant.

The Legend of Zelda franchise is also expanding beyond the remake. The Knight News reported that Nintendo's 40th Anniversary Direct included announcements for a live-action film, an anniversary concert beginning in January 2027 and other franchise projects.
