A new listing on Nintendo's official US store page indicates that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. The store page for the title now features an official ESRB rating of 'Everyone 10+', providing the latest evidence that a remake is slated for release this year.
Rating Details and Content
According to the product page, the upcoming version of the game includes “animated blood” and “fantasy violence.” This aligns with the rating assigned to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS, which also carried an E10+ rating. The original Nintendo 64 release was rated 'E' simply because the E10+ category did not exist at the time of its 1998 launch.
Source Reliability
This information is sourced directly from Nintendo’s official storefront. As the data originates from an official company domain rather than a third-party leak, we assign this a reliability score of 5/5. While an official announcement trailer has been shown, the appearance of a live rating on a store page confirms the game is currently moving through the necessary administrative steps for a 2026 release.
What This Means for Players
The product description highlights “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay.” For players, this suggests a faithful modernization of the N64 classic rather than a complete reimagining. With the rating now visible, industry observers expect a dedicated Nintendo Direct presentation to follow, potentially once current marketing cycles for other titles like Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave conclude.
The game is currently listed for the Nintendo Switch 2, which remains the primary platform for this upcoming release.
