Summary

  • LevelUp ranked The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake second among Summer Game Fest 2026’s top-performing games, behind God of War: Laufey and ahead of Resident Evil Veronica.
  • The ranking covers June 1-11 announcements and combines VOD views, streaming performance, press coverage, creator activity and community sentiment across the event.
  • Nintendo’s remake placed near the top despite only a brief teaser shown during Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct, which LevelUp counted as part of the broader Summer Game Fest slate.
  • The strong showing suggests heavy early interest in the Nintendo Switch 2 title, which is scheduled to launch later in 2026.
