Nintendo has removed a hidden description from the official product page of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 that suggested a faithful 1:1 remake of the classic 1998 title. The description was discovered by fans in the website's source code and sparked online debate about the scope of the remake project.
According to IGN and Nintendo Life, the text was taken down shortly after gaining visibility online, seemingly before its intended reveal — indicating the information was not meant for public view yet. While the exact wording has not been widely circulated, reports suggest it indicated a faithful recreation of the original game rather than a complete reimagining.
The remake was announced during a June 2026 Nintendo Direct following earlier leaks and fan speculation. At the time, the company released only a brief teaser trailer lasting a few seconds, keeping project details under wraps. The removal of the description reinforces Nintendo's strategy of withholding information about the title's visual, mechanical, and creative scope.
Little is officially known about what changes or remains identical compared to the N64 original. Nintendo has yet to comment on the removal or confirm the extent of planned alterations.
