Ocarina of Time Remaster Leaked for Nintendo Direct

Nintendo has officially set its next Nintendo Direct for 10:00 PM Beijing time on June 9, with a runtime of about 50 minutes focused on the second-half 2026 NS/NS2 lineup. For now, the more interesting details are coming from insider analysis, not Nintendo itself: in a new video, NateTheHate said an Ocarina of Time remake is most likely to get the most screen time, while FromSoftware's The Duskbloods will probably rank second. Those game-specific expectations, along with any release timing, remain unconfirmed by Nintendo.

That rumor alone is enough to raise expectations. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a landmark in game history, a game that reshaped 3D action-adventure design through its camera work and target-locking system, with its influence still visible in modern releases. If a remake really is headed to NS2, it would be more than a visual upgrade. It would also test how Nintendo updates one of its most important games for a new audience. For longtime players, seeing Link return to Hyrule with modern visuals and newly orchestrated music would carry obvious appeal.

The other notable claim is that The Duskbloods will likely rank second in the show's presentation order. That matters for a practical reason. NateTheHate argued that the game needs a stronger sales push because it is not just another standard FromSoftware release. It is an online game, which means the showcase would need to explain how its features work and how its community systems are meant to function. That kind of pitch takes time. FromSoftware's reputation alone will not explain an online game; Nintendo would need to show how this one actually works. Features and community systems will likely need clear explanation if Nintendo wants the pitch to land.

Based on NateTheHate's earlier reporting, both the Ocarina of Time remake and The Duskbloods are expected to launch later this year. If that timing holds, both games would become major year-end releases. If you are planning a hardware purchase, the full June 9 Direct is the one to watch closely, because Nintendo's official release dates and pricing, if announced, will matter more than any pre-show speculation.

Even so, one point is clear: Nintendo appears to be leaning on major software at an important point in the NS2 lifecycle. An Ocarina of Time remake would play to the existing audience's attachment to one of Nintendo's biggest legacy titles. The Duskbloods, by contrast, would suggest a push toward a more online-focused offering that could bring in a different audience. Whether both approaches can work in the second half of 2026 is one of the main questions this June 9 Direct could start to answer.
