No follow-up Zelda remake has been confirmed. Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, arriving November 5, 2026. Comments from Nintendo leaders point to additional Switch 2 games and explain why the company makes remakes, but they do not identify another Zelda remake. [Nintendo]

What Nintendo has actually announced

Nintendo first announced that the Nintendo 64 classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was returning on Switch 2 in 2026. In a September 2026 announcement marking the series’ 40th anniversary, series producer Eiji Aonuma showed the first gameplay and confirmed a November 5, 2026 release date. Nintendo describes the project as a remake with extensively updated presentation and controls, rather than a newly announced Zelda adventure after it. [Nintendo]

Did Nintendo tease the next Zelda remake?

Not in the statements cited in the reports. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company had prepared additional titles beyond those already announced for the second half of its fiscal year and would share details at the appropriate time. GamesRadar’s report does not connect that comment to Zelda or name any of those games. [GamesRadar]

Shigeru Miyamoto has also discussed why remakes matter to Nintendo: they can introduce older games to younger players and help audiences learn about original titles. TechRadar reported his remarks from an interview with Famitsu, but they do not announce a Zelda project that follows Ocarina of Time. [TechRadar]

  • Discover Hyrule as never before: by making your own path, choices, and consequences
  • Ingenuity is the key to survival: find multiple solutions to tons of dynamic puzzles
  • Surprises hide around every corner: scavenge weapons, armor, plants, animals, and more

So the accurate distinction is simple: another Zelda remake may be a possibility fans discuss, but no specific follow-up is confirmed by the announcements and reporting cited here.
