Nintendo’s upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been listed on the Australian Nintendo Store for $94.95 AUD, pointing to a probable $59.99 USD digital price tag ahead of the 40th-anniversary Direct presentation.
With Nintendo keeping specifics close to the vest, a digital store entry discovered by regional specialists has offered the clearest financial signal yet for one of the company’s most anticipated 2026 releases. While official gameplay footage remains unreleased, the discovered storefront pricing provides a concrete baseline for what players can expect to pay when the game launches later this year. All Nintendo has officially revealed so far for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is the briefest of teasers and a 2026 release window.
Regional Store Listings Point to a $60 Digital Price Point
The pricing details surfaced on the Australian Nintendo Store, where a user search for the title revealed a digital price tag of $94.95 AUD. According to regional gaming site Vooks, which first spotted the entry before the Nintendo Direct presentation, that figure represents a discounted digital price, placing the physical retail equivalent at an expected $109.95 AUD. The listing was first spotted by the Australia Nintendo gaming site Vooks. While there’s no official eShop listing for Zelda: Ocarina of Time, searching for “Zelda” on the Australian and New Zealand Nintendo websites does turn up a result that lists a price tag $94.95 AUD for the digital version. That suggests a physical price of $109.95 AUD.
Across the Tasman Sea, the digital price registered at $104.95 NZD on the New Zealand Nintendo storefront. When translated for international markets, these regional figures point directly toward a digital price of $59.99 USD in the United States and a £49.99 GBP equivalent in the United Kingdom. As Wario64 noted on X, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time digital is priced $94.95 AUD in Australia, estimated to be $59.99 USD or £49.99 GBP equivalent.
That positions the title squarely in the middle of Nintendo’s pricing structure for the platform. The game shares its digital price point with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, meaning it sits below larger-scale releases like Donkey Kong Bananza but above smaller remakes such as Star Fox.
Industry Comparisons and Expectations for the Switch 2 Remake
The $60 digital price point carries immediate implications for the scope of the project. Industry observers note that a standard remake price signals an upgrade focused primarily on visual and technical enhancements rather than a sweeping, open-world gameplay overhaul akin to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. While there was speculation about what a recreation of Ocarina of Time in the mold of the recent open-world Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom games might look like, a $60 price points to a remake.
Note that Nintendo made a change earlier this year in which its digital releases for Switch 2 would be priced lower than their physical counterparts. Based on that, if Zelda: Ocarina of Time is $60 on the eShop, the physical version should cost $70.
Developer Speculation and Retailer Leaks
Beyond pricing, retail listings have sparked debate regarding who is actually building the remake. While Nintendo has been very coy about revealing which teams develop its most recent games, a temporary listing on Norwegian electronics retailer Elkjøp previously identified Xenoblade Chronicles developer Monolith Soft as the studio behind the project. Although the reference was quickly scrubbed, both Notebook Check and Nintendo Life captured it beforehand. The studio’s extensive history assisting on major Nintendo titles—including Breath of the Wild, Skyward Sword HD, and Tears of the Kingdom—adds plausibility to the rumor, even as questions remain regarding their timeline with the upcoming Xenoblade Genesis, which is currently in development.
Release timing has similarly fueled widespread speculation. According to Swiss retailer WOG.ch, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is set to release on December 1st. Although this date isn’t official just yet, retailers have leaked launch dates for games plenty of times in the past, as they’re often privy to this information prior to the general public. That being said, retailers occasionally use placeholder dates as well in listings, which is a distinct possibility in this case with Ocarina of Time. Perhaps the biggest thing that goes against this date being the official one for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is that it happens to fall on a Tuesday. While Tuesday has historically been a day of the week on which gaming publishers do release games, this hasn’t been true with Nintendo for a bit now.
What Comes Next in the Nintendo Direct Doubleheader
Official confirmation on pricing, release dates, and project scope is expected imminently. While The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct isn’t until later tonight, the Australian Nintendo Store has updated with a listing for the game, including the pricing.
