Nintendo Store link

Release date is Nov 5 2026. I believe the physical release is an actual physical release and not a game key card.

    For anyone lamenting they don’t have a Switch 2, or looking for OoT with QoL improvements for cheaper than whatever Nintendo’s asking price is, there is a free PC port of OoT that will run as fast as your hardware can handle it without messing up gameplay speed etc, has a ton of switchable QoL features, and has mod support for using 3DS (and better) graphics/models. You can even use Master Quest’s edited dungeons with all the benefits of the 3DS version.

    It’s called Ship of Harkinian. All you have to do is provide a copy of the game ROM.

      Never played the orig (never had a console after the Atari 2600), but as much as I’ve hears of the zelda-games, it’s probably worth a shot?

      A pirated ROM will probably do fine too? Before even thinking of giving nintendo a single Buck.

      Thanks either way!

        I think so, I think Ocarina of Time earns its high esteem, and Ship of Harkinian irons out a lot of the QoL issues that make the original annoying, like being able to toggle boots without going into the menu.

        After you finish OoT I’d recommend running Majora’s Mask via 2 Ship 2 Harkinian as well. It’s less popular than OoT but every bit as good, I think. I can’t pick just one, but if I had to pick a “#1 favorite video game of all time”, Majora’s Mask would be a finalist. It’s really good.
