Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Could Launch Days Before GTA 6

Nintendo has already officially announced The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for late 2026, but its precise release date remains unknown. Now, an amiibo listing has fans wondering whether Link’s return could land just days before Grand Theft Auto 6.

That would create one of 2026’s strangest release clashes. Nintendo usually lines up its amiibo releases with a game, and its amiibo listings for November hint at a game release that month.

November Amiibo Dates Hint At The Ocarina of Time Remake Release Window

As noted by a Reddit user, Nintendo UK has listed Sword Kirby and Dragoon and Noir Dedede and Hydra amiibo for release on November 11th. Nintendo usually releases a game with their amiibos.

Currently, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is slated for late 2026, making it the ideal target for a November 11th release.

Ocarina Of Time Could Arrive One Week Before GTA 6

The suspected timing could put Ocarina of Time roughly one week ahead of GTA 6.

That sounds like commercial madness at first. GTA 6 will inevitably dominate attention around its launch, leaving almost every publisher with a good reason to avoid its immediate vicinity. But Zelda is possibly one of the few franchises that could survive that clash.

Ocarina of Time is one of the company’s most celebrated games, and a modern remake would appeal to longtime Zelda fans, younger Switch players, and anyone introduced to the series through Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. The two releases also target substantially different experiences.

For now, the sensible takeaway is straightforward: the Ocarina of Time remake is officially coming in late 2026, while the November date remains speculation based on the amiibo timing. Until Nintendo announces the exact day, the proposed showdown with GTA 6 remains speculation.
