Could Switch 2’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake be squaring up for a GTA 6 head-to-head? Newly sighted amiibo suggest a potential November release
Nintendo may be preparing to release its The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 on 12 November, according to speculation prompted by briefly published amiibo listings. If accurate, the date would place the remake a week before Grand Theft Auto 6’s expected 19 November launch, making it one of the few major releases willing to launch that month.
Nintendo announced the remake in June with a 2026 window but provided little further detail. Observers note that Nintendo has previously released unrelated amiibo alongside new games, and the newly listed Sword Kirby and Dragoon and Noir Dedede figures were both dated 12 November before their store pages were removed; however, Nintendo has not confirmed any connection or release date.
In short
- Amiibo listings suggest an Ocarina of Time remake release on 12 November.
- Nintendo has not confirmed the date or link to the figures.
- The date would precede GTA 6’s expected 19 November launch.
Explained simply
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is an adventure game first released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998. It follows Link, a young hero who travels through time to stop Ganondorf from taking control of the kingdom of Hyrule.
Nintendo makes the Zelda games and amiibo, small collectible figures that can interact with some Nintendo games. A remake is a newly made version of an older game, and Nintendo has said this one is planned for its Switch 2 console in 2026.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is a separate, highly anticipated game from Rockstar Games. Release dates matter to game makers because major titles competing for players’ time and spending can affect how widely each is noticed and bought.
