Ocarina of Time Remake Price Turns Up on Nintendo's Australian Store at A$94.95
Nintendo's own Australian online store put a price on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 before the company meant to, listing the digital version at A$94.95. The page was live for roughly an hour before it came down, and it landed hours ahead of the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct that airs later today.
The remake is a Switch 2 exclusive. Nintendo's American store page still carries no price at all, shows the game as "Coming soon", and gives 2026 as the release window with no month attached. Its ESRB entry lists Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence.
What the Ocarina of Time remake price actually tells us
A$94.95 is the only figure that came from Nintendo. Everything else circulating today is inference, and it is worth keeping the two apart.
The useful part of the leak is the comparison it enables. A$94.95 is the same Australian digital price Nintendo set for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and that game sells for US$59.99 digitally and US$69.99 physically. If Nintendo has slotted Ocarina of Time into the same pricing band, those are the numbers to expect elsewhere — but Nintendo has confirmed nothing outside Australia, and regional pricing does not always move in lockstep.
For context on how much room there is at the top and bottom of that band: Nintendo's Star Fox remake shipped earlier this year at US$50 digital and US$60 physical, while several first-party Switch 2 releases sit at US$69.99 or above. A $60 digital Ocarina of Time would put it among the cheaper Switch 2 exclusives rather than at the premium tier.
Why digital and physical are priced differently now
Nintendo changed its approach earlier this year and began pricing Switch 2 digital editions below their boxed counterparts. That is why the leaked A$94.95 digital figure implies a higher physical number rather than an identical one, and why published reports have pointed to A$109.95 for the boxed edition. Nintendo has not listed a physical price for Ocarina of Time anywhere.
The physical side carries a second question the store listing does not answer: whether the cartridge holds the full game or ships as a Game-Key Card. That distinction has already caught buyers out on other Switch 2 releases — Final Fantasy 7 Revelation shipped as a 130GB Game-Key Card download, while Oblivion Remastered put the full game on the cartridge. Nintendo has said nothing either way here.
When Nintendo will confirm it
The Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct runs today at 7 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. in the UK and 7:30 p.m. IST, and lasts about 30 minutes. A general Nintendo Direct focused on winter releases follows tomorrow at the same hour. We have the full schedule in our Nintendo Direct start time breakdown.
A price and a release date for Ocarina of Time are the two obvious things to watch for. The remake has been announced with a 2026 window and nothing narrower, which is the kind of gap an anniversary show exists to close.
What is confirmed and what is not
- Confirmed by Nintendo: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, listed for 2026, rated for Animated Blood and Fantasy Violence.
- Appeared on Nintendo's Australian store: A$94.95 for the digital version, before the page was pulled.
- Not confirmed: the US, UK and European prices, the physical edition price, the release date, and whether the boxed version is a full cartridge or a Game-Key Card.
Australian pricing is not a reliable guide to what Indian, US or UK buyers pay, and it says nothing about Switch 2 hardware costs, which have moved on their own — Nintendo raised the Switch 2 price in the UK to £419.99 without touching software pricing.
Treat the A$94.95 figure as what it is: a real number from Nintendo's own storefront, published early, for one region. Everything built on top of it is a reasonable guess until the Direct ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Ocarina of Time remake cost?
Nintendo's Australian store briefly listed the digital version at A$94.95 before pulling the page. That is the only price Nintendo has published anywhere. Prices for the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and India have not been confirmed, and neither has a physical edition price.
Is the Ocarina of Time remake a Switch 2 exclusive?
Yes. Nintendo's own store lists The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a Nintendo Switch 2 title with no original Switch version. There is no announced release on any other platform.
When does the Ocarina of Time remake come out?
Nintendo has only given 2026 as the window, with no month attached on its store page. The Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on 8 September is the most likely place for a firm date, since the show is dedicated to the series.
What time is the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct?
It starts at 7 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. in the UK and 7:30 p.m. IST on 8 September, and runs about 30 minutes. A separate general Nintendo Direct covering winter releases follows on 9 September at the same time.
Will the physical version cost more than the digital one?
Probably, based on how Nintendo now prices Switch 2 software. The company began setting digital editions below boxed ones earlier this year, so a digital price of A$94.95 implies a higher figure on disc. Nintendo has not listed a physical price for this game.
