Vai desafiar GTA6? A versão remasterizada de The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time será lançada este ano, com esperança de alcançar a batalha mais forte da história contra a mais forte do presente.

《The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time》 remake will be released within 2026, delighting longtime fans! However, this year’s major game releases are avoiding November’s 《GTA 6》, and Nintendo’s direct confrontation with Rockstar has attracted attention.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will be released this year!

Last night (6/9), Nintendo Direct surprised everyone by announcing the release of the 《The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time》 remake, scheduled for release within 2026, but the exact date has not yet been decided. They also announced new titles such as 《Kingdom Hearts 4》 and 《Xenoblade Chronicles: Genesis》.

Even so, some players believe the proportion of remakes is too high and are worried about the lack of major new titles for the year-end market, causing Nintendo’s stock price to plummet today (6/10), closing down 6.76% to 7,215 points.

The greatest game of all time! The Ocarina of Time remake is highly anticipated

The original 《The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time》 was released in 1998, as the first 3D series on the Nintendo 64 console. Thanks to excellent game design and puzzle elements, it became the first game in Japan’s Famitsu magazine history to receive a perfect score of 40, with global sales exceeding 7.6 million copies.

On the game review site Metacritic, the original 《Ocarina of Time》 scored as high as 99 points, surpassing the highly acclaimed 《The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild》 and its sequel 《Tears of the Kingdom》. 《Ocarina of Time》 set a benchmark for 3D game perspectives and automated controls, often hailed as “one of the greatest games of all time.”

This also fuels expectations: will the 《Ocarina of Time》 remake usher in a new era with innovative changes?

Including how Link’s actual actions are portrayed, whether the remake stays true to the original or makes significant modifications, if players will have to go through Ganon’s dungeon again, the visual presentation of Hyrule, whether Nintendo will update the control scheme, if Navi’s hints will be reduced, whether it will be linked to the 《Zelda》 movie releasing next year, and why Link is wearing armor and sleeping in the trailer, among other details.

Will the Ocarina of Time remake clash with GTA 6?

The announcement of the 《Ocarina of Time》 remake’s release is even more surprising because it’s scheduled for this year, and we all know that in November, that game: 《GTA 6》 will launch on PlayStation consoles (if it doesn’t get delayed).

To avoid 《GTA 6》, the game market in September has already become a battleground, as market expectations suggest players are saving their budgets for the release on November 19.

According to IGN, major titles like 《Marvel’s Wolverine》 and 《Control: Resonance》 are also releasing during this period.

In the face of this industry battle, whether Nintendo will schedule the 《Ocarina of Time》 remake to directly compete with 《GTA 6》 in November has become a focus of player attention, and some Chinese players jokingly said: “The strongest (Ocarina of Time) vs the most modern (GTA6), do you feel the difference?”

Will the clash between Ocarina of Time and GTA 6 have much impact?

Some analysts believe that the audiences for 《GTA 6》 and 《Ocarina of Time》, as well as the audiences for PS and Switch 2, are quite different. If 《Ocarina of Time》 is released just before or after 《GTA 6》, the actual impact may not be significant.

• The group targeting 《GTA 6》 is mostly players seeking top-tier audiovisual experiences and deep immersion. They value the hardware performance of PS consoles, craving the freedom to destroy and create in hyper-realistic open worlds, and are enthusiastic about dark humor, street culture, and highly social multiplayer content.
• Meanwhile, Switch 2 players waiting for the 《Ocarina of Time》 remake, including long-time Nintendo fans across multiple generations, have a high brand loyalty to classic IPs. These players prioritize “pure gameplay,” such as intricate sandbox level design, creative puzzle mechanics, and profound adventure narratives, rather than just graphics. This group also includes many families seeking gentle, all-ages entertainment, often buying games to relive childhood memories or experience heritage titles.

After Nintendo Direct, the major console and summer game festival announcements have temporarily paused.

In these two weeks, players have seen new titles like the 《God of War: Ragnark》, Capcom’s 《Resident Evil: Village》 remake, and the highly anticipated 《Persona 6》 after ten years. Nintendo has also filled in the gaps with more JRPG titles, such as 《Kingdom Hearts 4》 and 《Xenoblade Chronicles: Genesis》, which are highly awaited.
