After Ocarina of Time, Switch 2's Next Zelda Remake Feels Obvious

While remakes aren't always what people want, if Nintendo really is going to move forward with them (and it seems that it is), then The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is absolutely the safest remake the developer could possibly make for the Switch 2. The beloved Nintendo 64 classic has been surrounded by remake rumors and fan speculation for years because players have wanted to see what it would look and play like if it were rebuilt with modern technology, and its newly revealed 2026 Switch 2 release window makes perfect sense as a result. Considering the original Ocarina of Time has a 99 Metascore and a reputation as one of the greatest video games ever made, it was always going to be the easiest Zelda classic for Nintendo to bring back first.
