June 9, 2026 will be remembered by video game fans as a memorable day: Nintendo announced the official remake of ‘The Memoir of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’. It will be available this year for the Nintendo Swap 2 console.
During the Nintendo Say online event The first images of Link, the protagonist of the story, were releasedevidencing the impressive graphical improvements, compared to the original 1998 video game, for Nintendo 64.
However, due to the euphoria and nostalgia of appreciating the remake of a video game that revolutionized the 3D experience, many fans of the saga did not notice some key details that are “hidden” in the trailer.
1. Ocarina sounds
Perhaps because of the same emotion of remembering the 90s you didn’t appreciate that, as the trailer progresses, some notes are heard on the ocarina that belong to the iconic melody of ‘Misplaced Woods’which Link learns through his friend Saria, one of the six sages of Hyrule.
And although it’s not a tune you can play during the game, The ambient theme of Kokiri Wooded space is also heardthe initial setting of the story.
2. Who is the narrator
The voice is impeccable, mysterious, a direct hook for fans of the video game, but the question remains open as to who this narrator is. Although it is not clear if it will continue to be heard in the cinematics of the story, some users on social networks They claim that it belongs to “Kaepora Gaebora”, the wise owl who frequently guides Link in Hyrule and offers him advice..
Other fans suspect that it is Rauru, the wise man who gives you the medallion of light. However, it is clear that it is not the Deku tree, because it speaks in the third person. And another interesting detail is that the narration is in the pastthat is, it is told by someone who experienced it firsthand.
3. The “protagonism” of Navi
At the moment his name has not been mentioned, but the trailer already makes it clear that Link is a “child in dispute” who does not have a fairy, something typical of the inhabitants of Kokiri Wooded space.
Through this clarification, The remake gives indirect but immediate prominence to Naviwhich is the fairy sent by the Deku tree to accompany Link throughout the Ocarina of Time journey.
In this sense, The remake is likely to offer more details about Navi’s actual history.for example: where he goes after Link fulfills his mission as a hero of time.
4. Link appears barefoot
When the image of Link lying in the bed of his small tree house appears, the graphics engine left most fans speechless, since it was finally an accurate scene and not a fan made.
Link is barefoot, something that is not seen in the Nintendo 64 version, where he appears asleep with his boots on. This means that The remake will pay close attention to all kinds of details, so that the experience is much more accurate and immersive.
Probably, Let’s see a Link with his tunic soaked with water when it’s his turn to get wet or maybe you’ll see drops of sweat when he’s near the fire.. Depending on how daring Nintendo is, blood could also be seen when he is injured.
Clothing, accessories and even weapons could reveal details never seen before and surely with hidden messages or messages alluding to Nintendo.
In short, the remake of Zelda Ocarina of Time will invite you to pay attention to any point of focus, no matter how small it may seem.
5. This same year
In the midst of the euphoria caused by the trailer, it is the best news that Nintendo gave to fans: the remake of Ocarina of Time will be playable this very 2026.
In this way they make it clear that the video game is not in the process of creation, but is completely ready for distribution. And considering that we are in June 2026, The most likely thing is that its market launch will be between November and December..
