Nintendo Switch 2, The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. Updated version starting today

The rebirth of the timeless legend. From 1998 to 2026, the iconic adventure returns to its splendor on Nintendo Switch 2. Now available in a fully updated version

On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the saga and almost thirty years after its debut, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time arrives today exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 in a fully updated version. The work, considered a milestone in the adventure genre, is revived with a revolutionized graphic design, orchestral soundtrack, updated camera and movement controls, extended dialogues and films dubbed in Italian, allowing you to relive a timeless legend and share it with the new generations.

It is one of the most significant video games in the history of the medium and a stronghold of the adventure genre. A legend that makes time its protagonist and that at the same time seems not to be affected by its course, re-proposing itself, after almost 30 years, in an exercise in graphic style that is once again capable of surprising. If in 1998 Nintendo released the first video game of the The Legend of Zelda series in 3D on Nintendo 64, in fact, in 2026 the same adventure returns, flexing its muscles with regard to the past on Nintendo Switch 2, enchanting both first-time players and veterans who can prepare to relive one of the most important adventures of the tenth art, sharing this journey with the new generations.

In a version completely redesigned for a new era thanks to a revolutionized graphics sector, a symphonic orchestral soundtrack and modernized gameplay. In this rebirth, players can once again take on the role of the little Kokiri named Link, on a heroic journey that crosses the famous lands of Hyrule and unfolds along two different eras. With the aim of defeating the threat of Ganondorf, in search of the divine powers of the Triforce, Link will rely on the melodies of the Ocarina of Time and the help of 7 wise men capable of imprisoning the evil sorcerer. The original experience comes to life through film sequences entirely dubbed in Italian, expanded character dialogue and a completely revised motion and camera control system, capable of offering a fluidity of action up to contemporary standards.

Along the way, Link will learn melodies for his ocarina that are essential for unlocking secret passages, turning day into night and interacting with the world around him. Taking advantage of the hardware potential of Nintendo Switch 2, this edition introduces an innovative mode of interaction: by playing or simply humming a melody within reach of the console's integrated microphone, Link will be able to play it within the game. The system also recognizes notes played by real musical instruments. The gaming experience also expands beyond the console thanks to Zelda Notes: a dedicated service integrated into the Nintendo Switch app for compatible smart devices. The platform allows adventurers to track their progress, compose and share ocarina melodies with the community and test themselves with a daily quiz featuring over 2,000 questions about the game universe.
