Overview
- Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will launch on November 5, 2026, and pre-orders began in mid-September for the game and related items.
- The HORI Electric Ocarina is now up for pre-order on the Nintendo Store at $49.99 and ships the same day as the game.
- The Electric Ocarina is an electronic toy that uses a mouthpiece button and finger buttons rather than blowing, offers Free Play and Auto-Play modes with 12 preset songs, and includes a volume dial and headphone jack.
- Playing the ocarina or humming into the Switch 2 microphone uses the console’s sound recognition to trigger corresponding in-game actions and the game’s Zelda Notes app can save and share tunes.
- Major retailers are offering limited pre-order discounts and running repeated restocks for the game and hardware, which has created uneven availability and active reseller activity that may complicate purchases for many fans.
