Original Story: [Wed 9th Sep, 2026 02:30 BST]:
The digital listing for the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is now live on the eShop and it includes the game’s estimated file size.
According to Nintendo’s official store, Link’s classic Nintendo 64 quest “remade for a whole new era” is estimated to be 27GB.
If you’re wondering, the recent Star Fox remake, which landed on the Switch 2 in June, required 15.1GB of space. As for Link’s new outings, Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2 is listed as having a file size of 20GB, and Breath of the Wild requires 24GB.
Nintendo’s official description for Ocarina of Time Switch 2 notes how the game has “completely overhauled visuals”. It also adds voiced cutscenes, expanded dialogue, and features symphonic orchestral music.
Keep in mind this is an “estimated” file size for Ocarina of Time, meaning it could change between now and the game’s November release. You can check out the game’s official box art in our previous post:
