Elkjøp Listing Suggests Monolith Soft Leads Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
A listing by Norwegian retailer Elkjøp identifies Monolith Soft as the lead developer for the upcoming Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on the Nintendo Switch 2. This contradicts previous assumptions that Nintendo EPD would retain primary control, suggesting instead that the Xenoblade Chronicles studio will play a central role. While the game is confirmed for a late-2026 release, this leak hints the title may feature new mechanics and content rather than being a strict 1:1 recreation of the N64 classic. The development shift aligns with recent statements from Zelda general manager Daiki Iwamoto, who emphasized Monolith’s growing influence on the franchise.
