Abstract:
The remake of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is expected to be released on Switch2 in 2026, and players are eagerly looking forward to getting more details at the rumored Nintendo Direct. However, before the official announcement, a Norwegian retailer seems to have leaked the identity of the developer of the game in advance.
According to Norwegian retailer Elkjøp's information on its "Ocarina of Time" product page, the developer of this remake is Monolith Soft. The studio is best known for the "Xenoblade Chronicles" series and has assisted in the development of Nintendo's first-party games on several occasions in recent years, including "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom."
Monolith Soft's profound skills in open world design, map construction and large-scale scene rendering have been fully proven in "Xenoblade Chronicles
Considering that the original version of "Ocarina of Time" is famous for its ingenious time travel mechanism and maze design, if Monolith Soft does participate in the development, its rich experience in large-scale scene connection and map layering is expected to bring a more immersive exploration experience to the remake of this classic work, not just a simple high-definition picture. Whether the remake will use Monolith Soft's map design capabilities to moderately expand areas such as Hyrule Plains while retaining the core puzzles and process structure of the original has also become a hot topic among the player community.
It should be emphasized that Nintendo has not officially announced the development team of the "Ocarina of Time" remake. Since the game was announced, many rumors have emerged surrounding the project, some of which have been proven to be false. Therefore, there is also uncertainty in this retailer’s news, and everything should be subject to the official announcement.
