Ocarina of Time trailer reveals instrument input and boss rematches

Nintendo released a new overview trailer for its Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Oct. 14, showing how the classic’s signature music mechanic will work with the console’s microphone. The game is scheduled to launch exclusively on Switch 2 on Nov. 5. Players can hum a learned melody or play it on a real instrument; the console’s microphone will recognize it and make Link’s in-game ocarina respond. Nintendo also revealed the Hall of Fallen Heroes, where players can view statues and descriptions of defeated enemies and challenge some foes again. Nintendo Wire notes that the trailer does not explain how players access the hall or whether every boss can be rematched. The official overview adds overhauled visuals, fully voiced cutscenes with expanded dialogue and symphonic orchestral music. Nintendo says the game will also work with Zelda Notes in the Nintendo Switch App. Two new Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo are planned for 2027, while existing Zelda amiibo will unlock in-game rewards. Nintendo lists the game at $59.99 in the US and a separate Electric Ocarina accessory at $49.99. The microphone feature gives players a choice between humming and using an instrument, while the Hall adds a way to revisit enemies beyond the main story. Nintendo has not yet detailed the hall’s unlock conditions or the exact rules for its rematches.
