Here’s Why People Think The Ocarina Of Time Remake Will Launch A Week Before GTA 6
Fans are speculating that Nintendo’s remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time could arrive on 12 November 2026, one week before Grand Theft Auto 6’s planned release. The theory matters because it would place two of the year’s biggest games unusually close together, though they target different consoles and audiences.
The speculation followed Nintendo dating two Kirby Air Riders amiibo for 12 November, as several earlier amiibo releases had coincided with major Nintendo game launches. Nintendo has confirmed only that Ocarina of Time Remake is coming to Switch 2 in 2026, while GTA 6 is scheduled for 19 November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S; neither company has confirmed the proposed Zelda date.
In short
- Amiibo release dates have prompted a Zelda launch theory.
- Fans predict 12 November for Ocarina of Time Remake.
- Nintendo has not confirmed a release date.
Explained simply
Ocarina of Time is a much-loved 1998 adventure game in Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series, in which players guide hero Link through a fantasy world. A remake would rebuild the game for newer hardware; Nintendo has confirmed one is coming to its Switch 2 console in 2026, but has not announced a release date.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is a separate crime adventure game planned for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Fans have linked the suggested Zelda date to Nintendo’s planned release of two Kirby Air Riders amiibo—small collectible figures that can connect with games—because some past amiibo releases coincided with major launches. If both games arrived close together, it would put two high-profile releases in the same week, though they are for different consoles and Nintendo has not confirmed the theory.
