OOT Remake Release Date and Unlock Times

Home / Release Date

The game is out. Nintendo’s US store and the 11 November sales note both use 5 November 2026 as the global release date. VICE and Beebom describe a local-midnight unlock, with some regions able to start on the evening of 4 November. Forbes wrote that Nintendo had not posted one worldwide clock time, so I do not print a single “12:00 a.m. everywhere” as if it were an official table.

Beebom also printed a 24.5 GB size. The store says 24.9 GB. I use 24.9 GB in the download section and I leave Beebom’s figure in the table so the disagreement stays visible.

The timeline I will stand behind: a first look in the 9 June 2026 Nintendo Direct, a release date and footage in the 8 September 2026 40th-anniversary Direct, the Zelda-themed Switch 2 hardware on 29 October 2026, and the game on 5 November 2026. Older year queries (2023, 2024, 2025) were guesses from before that September date.
