Ocarina Of Time Remake Switch 2 Pre Order

Okay, folks, gather ’round the digital campfire. We need to talk about the news that just broke the internet’s spine: the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a full-blown remake for the Switch 2, and pre-orders have officially opened. I know, I know—take a deep breath. Put down your Deku Nuts and step away from the cliff edge.

Your Childhood, Now in 4K (and Probably More Expensive)

Remember 1998? You were probably wearing baggy jeans, listening to the Backstreet Boys, and spending hours trying to figure out the Water Temple. Well, Nintendo heard your screams of joy and trauma, and they’ve decided to sell that nostalgia back to you for the low, low price of your firstborn child. The pre-order button is live, and it’s glowing like the Triforce after a good meal.

But here’s the crazy part: this isn’t just a lazy port. According to leaked specs (which we totally believe because they were written on a napkin), the remake will run at a smooth 120 frames per second. That means Navi, the world’s most annoying fairy, will now yell “Hey! Listen!” at you in buttery-smooth high definition. You can now be annoyed by her in silky, 120fps glory. You’re welcome.

The Pre-Order Frenzy: A Survival Guide

Let me paint you a picture. The pre-order window opened at 6:00 AM EST. By 6:01, the Nintendo eShop had crashed so hard that your grandpa’s Commodore 64 felt a sense of superiority. Scalpers are already listing pre-orders on eBay for the price of a small sedan, with descriptions like “Used once, barely ridden.” I saw one listing that included a “slightly used Ocarina of Time soundtrack played on a harmonica.” That was not a joke.

Here’s a surprising fact: this remake will feature a brand new “Master Quest 2” mode. But instead of harder puzzles, it just makes every NPC speak like a sarcastic teenager. You’ll walk into the Lost Woods, and Skull Kid will just say, “Oh, look, it’s Link. Did your mom finally let you out of the house?” It’s going to be incredible.

Also, they’ve finally fixed the Water Temple. By “fixed,” I mean they’ve added a giant neon arrow that points to every single switch, plus a voice-over from Morgan Freeman saying, “You’re going the right way, you absolute legend.”

Is It Worth Your Hard-Earned Rupees?

Look, I’m not saying you should sell your kidney for this. But I’m also not saying you shouldn’t. The pre-order comes with a physical Golden Cartridge if you order from the GameStop at the mall that still smells like 1998. It’s a “Collector’s Edition,” which means it comes in a box that’s 90% empty space, but the art on the box is so gorgeous you’ll frame it.

And get this: the game will feature proto-Master Sword—it’s a DLC that costs an extra $20. It’s literally just the sword from the game, but with a slightly shinier hilt. People are already arguing about it in Reddit threads that are 47,000 comments deep. Passion, people. Passion.

But the real surprise? The remake includes a hidden minigame where you can pet the cuccos. Yes, pet them. No more chasing them around for twenty minutes. Now, you just press A and a cucco will coo, lay an egg, and then ask you how your day was. It’s the most advanced AI we’ve ever seen in a Nintendo game. It’s like ChatGPT, but with feathers and a death wish if you hit it one too many times.

The Wait is Agony (and a Little Sweaty)

So, what do you do while you wait for your pre-order to ship? You can replay the original on your N64, but let’s be honest: the graphics will just look like a blurry potato in a bathtub. Or you could practice your ocarina playing. Warning: playing the Song of Time backwards will not send you to the past. I tried it. It just made my cat look at me like I was a failure.

One last fun fact: the remake’s loading screens will feature a little animated merchant who salutes you and says, “Thanks for the rupees, chump!” in a cheerful voice. It’s a small touch, but it captures the soul of the game. Or, at least, the soul of a capitalist nightmare.

So, go ahead. Click that pre-order button. You know you want to. Your wallet will cry, but your inner child will finally shut up about the Water Temple. And hey, if you miss the pre-order, don’t worry—the Switch 2 Pro version will be announced next week, and it will come with a real-life fishing rod. Probably. No promises. But you should definitely refresh the page until your fingers bleed.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go practice my “Darunia’s Dance” emote. It’s a pre-order bonus, and I’m told it looks ridiculous in 4K.
