Key information
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026. The title has recently gained attention among international gamers due to its reported file size of 27GB.
This file size exceeds that of other major entries in the franchise on the same console, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at approximately 24GB and Tears of the Kingdom at 20GB.
International users on Reddit have discussed the technical implications of this size. Some commenters argue that the 27GB requirement is reasonable given the detailed textures and models, suggesting that other developers might have required over 50GB for a similar project without proper optimization. Others noted that the size remains significantly smaller than some other modern console titles.
The game will be available for purchase on November 5, with the digital version priced at 7,980 yen and the physical package at 8,980 yen, including tax. Players are advised to choose physical media to save storage or digital media for potentially faster load times.
