Speculation continues over who is developing the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2, after a Norwegian retailer's listing named Monolith Soft as the studio behind it. Nintendo Life treats the claim with caution, noting there is no corroborating evidence and that the listing could simply reflect a guess by store staff rather than genuine insider knowledge. The story matters because Nintendo rarely confirms development studios until close to a game's launch, so any purported lead, however unverified, quickly draws attention from fans eager for details on one of its most anticipated remakes.

The Elkjøp store page lists Monolith Soft, the Xenoblade Chronicles developer fully acquired by Nintendo in December 2024, as the maker of the remake, with Swedish distributor Bergsala credited as publisher for Nordic markets. Monolith Soft has a strong track record supporting past Zelda titles such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, lending some plausibility to the rumour, but it is currently occupied with Xenoblade Genesis, making simultaneous development of both projects seem unlikely unless Ocarina's development wrapped up some time ago. Nintendo Life stresses that, with so little confirmed about the remake, almost any developer name would sound plausible, and readers are encouraged to treat the claim as unverified for now.
