- A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the upcoming Switch 2 console is highly anticipated, with leaks and insider reports suggesting a major project beyond a simple graphical update.
- Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has subtly hinted at the remake for nearly three years, notably responding with a playful "no comment" in English when directly asked about it in a 2023 interview, implying the project’s existence without official confirmation.
- Unlike previous remakes, this version is rumored to feature expanded gameplay, a larger world, new mechanics, and possibly new story elements, drawing inspiration from games like Hyrule Warriors and likened to the scope of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
- Prominent leaker Nate the Hate shifted from skepticism to near-certainty about the remake in early 2024, lending credibility to ongoing rumors and increasing fan anticipation.
