Three versions, checked 5 Nov 2026

Nintendo 64 shipped in Japan and North America in November 1998, with PAL in December 1998. The 3DS version in June 2011 rebuilt the models and added Master Quest after you finish the story. The Switch 2 remake, out 5 November 2026, is a new build with voiced scenes, a manual jump, a sprint, and a free camera in Castle Town.

US store prices reported for the remake are $59.99 digital and $69.99 physical. Europe was listed at €59.99 and €69.99 by one outlet. Brazil was listed at R$330 by one outlet. I keep those regional figures side by side.

What changed on Switch 2

The public store page calls it exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 and lists an earlier estimated 27 GB download (current regional listings below differ). ESRB is E10+. Patch 1.1.1 arrived on 2026-11-04 and added ZELDA NOTES support. Independent reports quote Metacritic at 96; the Wikipedia summary counts 84 reviews, while earlier news snapshots count 42 and 70. Famitsu’s 37/40 is reported by both VGC and GamesRadar.

Quick answers: Switch 1 cannot run this remake. A PC port called Ship of Harkinian exists only as a community project and needs a ROM you already own — this site does not host one. Master Quest is on the 3DS version after the credits, and it is absent from the Switch 2 cart. One IGN report puts the main story near the mid-twenties of hours; other outlets disagree, so the length page keeps each figure.

Regional download listings — 5 November 2026

Download listings differ: Nintendo’s current US/Canada product page shows 24.9 GB; Nintendo UK was reported at 24.5 GB by Nintendo Life and Nintendo Everything, while earlier Nintendo Australia listings and Japanese download cards estimated 27 GB. These are separate dated listings, not one averaged download size.
