It is no secret that Nintendo has released a statement that gives an official price for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is a remake for the Nintendo Switch 2. With the prices announced by Nintendo, one can estimate the cost of the game. It is possible to order the remake from the Nintendo Store starting from today. The digital edition of the game is priced at $59.99 while the physical version is priced at $69.99.

The price of the game has been predicted by many fans after its appearance on the Australian Nintendo Store. The price of the digital edition at the Australian store is AUD $94.95. However, soon after, the game was taken down from the Australian Nintendo Store because of the upcoming Zelda Nintendo Direct. It is known that the pricing of the game was closer to some other Switch 2 games.

In contrast, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book also retails for $59.99 in the USA and £49.99 in the UK. On the other hand, games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza have been priced in the higher category at $69.99. The company now follows a multi-level pricing policy for Switch 2 games instead of offering a single standard price across its first-party titles.

Furthermore, Nintendo has a pricing policy according to which a player will need to shell out more for buying the game on physical medium compared to buying the same digitally. This is precisely the case with Ocarina of Time, with the physical version coming at $10 more at $69.99 while the digital version can be bought for just $59.99.

However, what makes this pricing interesting is that Ocarina of Time happens to be among the most iconic games of Nintendo. However, this new release does not appear to be positioned by Nintendo as a new flagship title as compared to some of its new Switch 2 releases like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which retail for $79.99 in the Switch 2 category.

Another thing is the larger price spread in the Switch 2 catalog. One of Nintendo's games in 2026, Star Fox, had a price of only $49.99. Therefore, the price of $59.99 is not the most expensive among other Nintendo games for the new generation of the console.

For those interested in Zelda titles, the announcement of the price makes planning for the release of the game on November 5 more convenient. Also, Nintendo released its version of the Switch 2, which is a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the franchise and comes out on October 29. Nevertheless, people who decide to buy the console with the Zelda theme will have to buy the game separately.

Confirmation also brings another very interesting aspect to Nintendo’s approach to one of its biggest franchises. Instead of offering the highest possible price tag on the new Switch 2 system, Nintendo seems to be offering the Ocarina of Time remake at $59.99 as a digital product, while the collectors or people who want physical copies can get the game at $69.99.

With pre-orders being now available, the next major question that arises concerns the extent to which Nintendo has remade the title. As Ocarina of Time is arguably the most significant game ever created by Nintendo, its remake promises to attract quite a lot of attention.
