Summary
Nintendo removed a hidden website description for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake after fans found the text buried in the game's online store code.
The deleted blurb called the 1998 N64 classic a “full remake” for Switch 2 with “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay,” adding one of the few details released so far.
Its disappearance has split fan reaction between those who see Nintendo suppressing early information and those who think the wording was placeholder copy never meant to be public.
The wording also fueled debate over scope—whether the game is mainly a visual overhaul like Star Fox 64's June 25 remake or includes broader changes to areas and dungeons.
Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2-exclusive remake last week during a Direct and still lists it for release later this year.
