Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Trailer Recreates 1998 N64 Ad
Nintendo's new trailer for the Switch 2 remake mirrors the 1998 N64 commercial, with some of its old-English text updated. The game arrives November 5, 2026.
Nintendo has released a new trailer for its Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and it deliberately echoes the game's original marketing. The trailer recreates the concept of the 1998 N64 commercial, which cut between major moments from the game and snippets of text written in old English.
According to gamerant.com, some of that text has been updated for the new version, while the structure of the original spot is retained.
The remake is scheduled for release on November 5, 2026, and will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2. It carries an Everyone 10+ rating.
An ad callback from a company that has done this before
The original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launched on the N64 in November 1998. Nintendo has revisited its advertising archive before: in 2025, it released a Switch 2 ad with Paul Rudd based on an old SNES commercial he had starred in.
