Nintendo Opens the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Pre
Key Points:
- Nintendo has released a pre-order for an electric ocarina accessory tied to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, priced at $49.99 with a release date of November 5, one week after the game launch.
- The ocarina allows players to mimic songs in-game by pressing a mouthpiece button, featuring Free Play, 12 pre-programmed songs, and integration with the Zelda Notes app for saving and sharing custom tunes via QR codes.
- Despite its interactive features, the accessory is not a real wind instrument since players do not blow into it, which may disappoint some fans seeking an authentic experience.
- The ocarina includes a built-in headphone jack and a display stand for when it is not in use, offering an immersive but optional gameplay enhancement compared to previous smaller merchandise like the ocarina keychain.
- Meanwhile, pre-orders for the limited-edition Zelda Switch 2 console remain difficult to secure, with occasional restocks announced via the Nintendo Store and notifications through a dedicated app.
