Next Legend Of Zelda Remake Officially Teased By Nintendo

To nobody’s surprise, the recent launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has been an instant hit. As a remake of the original 1998 entry for the Nintendo 64, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 remake has already been met with critical acclaim, even going on to become the highest rated game launch of 2026 according to Metacritic.

However, its success may have just put even more weight on Nintendo’s shoulders, as fans are now calling out for a similar remake treatment for more of The Legend of Zelda classics.

Right now, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake sits at a whopping 9.6 User Score over on Metacritic, and here at Screen Rant, our very own Chris Carter awarded it an almost perfect 9/10. In his review, he wrote:

So what is next when it comes to The Legend of Zelda remakes? Well, according to one Nintendo executive, there are more remakes on the cards.

In an interview with Polygon, Nintendo senior vice president of product development and publishing, Nate Bihldorff, said simply, “I do think that new games and remakes both have a place in the Nintendo stable, of equal importance to be honest.” He spoke about the importance of remakes, saying that there is “a deep satisfaction in revisiting games that were very, very special, like Ocarina of Time.”

To him, and the rest of the team, it is important that brand-new players will get to experience The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the first time courtesy of this Nintendo Switch 2 remake, and this is something that they hope to continue achieving into the future.

Although Bihldorff did not reveal which other Zelda classics will be getting the remake treatment, he did say that, thanks to its impressive IP library, Nintendo has the creative liberty to decide what to work on next. “The beauty of having so many different IPs that appeal to different people is that you can have a cycle of different games that come out,” he explained.

As such, alongside the next mainline Zelda entry, it seems as though Nintendo will also be working on further remakes, but which titles they may be remains to be seen. However, with the Zelda universe consisting of 34 total video game releases, it is safe to assume that Nintendo will not be short of ideas when the time finally comes.
