N64, 3DS, and the 2026 Remake
Home / Vs 3ds
Three products share the name. The 1998 original is the Nintendo 64 game. Ocarina of Time 3D, released in 2011, was developed by Grezzo for the 3DS. The 2026 game is Nintendo EPD’s Switch 2 remake. Grezzo’s version is not a build of this one.
The 3DS version already changed the Water Temple and the visuals once. The 2026 version changes them again, including the D-pad boots. If a guide says “the 3DS already fixed that,” it may still be wrong for 2026. I send temple-specific claims to the dungeon pages.

Questions
Is Ocarina of Time 3D the same remake?
No. It is the 2011 Grezzo game.
Which one should a guide follow?
This site follows the 2026 Switch 2 release unless a sentence names an older version on purpose.
