Nintendo is remaking Star Fox 64<\/em> (again) for Switch 2 with this summer’s Star Fox<\/em>. While the news that Nintendo is treading familiar ground yet again with Star Fox<\/em> may be disappointing to some, there’s also some good news to take away from the company’s surprise Nintendo Direct on Wednesday \u2014 particularly when it comes to rumors about a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2026’s Star Fox<\/em> will be the second direct remake of Star Fox 64<\/em>, following the 2011 release of Star Fox 64 3D<\/em> for Nintendo 3DS. That same year, Nintendo also brought another remake to its 3D handheld: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D<\/em>. The dual remakes of Nintendo 64 games were released just months apart, and both titles helped to fill out the Nintendo 3DS’ weak launch-window library.<\/p>\n

In 2026, it appears that Nintendo may be pursuing a similar tactic, with a confirmed Star Fox remake and a rumored Ocarina of Time<\/em> remake possibly arriving within months of each other.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tThe secret squad behind Breath of the Wild is even more involved in the next Zelda game<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n

What Ocarina of Time remake? Nobody said anything about that<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Granted, the Nintendo Switch 2 library isn’t nearly as dire as the 3DS’ was back in 2011, when Nintendo was all but forced to slash the handheld’s prices and give early adopters a bunch of free games. Nintendo already has a major Switch 2 hit on its hands in 2026 with Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/em>, but with rumors of a 3D Mario game still far away and no direct follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em> or Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em> on the… horizon, Nintendo fans could use a few new AAA games to play. Even if they’re technically old ones.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of a new(ish) Star Fox<\/em> helps to affirm a rumor from earlier this year by prolific leaker NateTheHate. He said in March that Nintendo was not only working on a new Star Fox, but also an Ocarina of Time<\/em> remake for the second half of 2026. He also correctly called a summer release for Switch 2 games Splatoon Raiders<\/em> and Rhythm Heaven Groove<\/em>, prior to Nintendo confirming those dates. All of that would certainly lend more credibility to an Ocarina of Time<\/em> remake coming in 2026, which we could really use.<\/p>\n

With The Legend of Zelda<\/em> movie coming in 2027 and fresh rumors of a Star Fox<\/em> stand-alone animated movie from Nintendo and Illumination, Nintendo repeating its 3DS-era remake strategy makes a lot of sense. The only question that remains is what N64 classic Nintendo will revive for Switch 2 next. (Nintendo, if you’re reading, we’d be OK with an F-Zero remake of any kind.)<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s new Star Fox<\/em> comes to Switch 2 on June 25. The rumored Ocarina of Time<\/em> remake is supposed to arrive later this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
