Questions about Ocarina of Time
These are the short leftovers. Each one points at the page that holds the table. If a number is missing, it was not in a source I would cite.
Launch questions
Switch 1 cannot run the 2026 remake. The Nintendo 64 original is on Nintendo Classics with the Expansion Pack. That split is the platforms page. Master Quest is not in the remake and is in the 3DS game after the credits. Storage is about 27 GB. There is one save slot, according to IGN, so a new file can overwrite a 100% file. There is no Hero Mode in that same note.
The developer of the original is the team that made the 1998 Nintendo 64 game; I am not naming a studio credit I did not re-copy from a Nintendo page in this pass. amiibo: any Zelda-series figure gives an item, and the 2027 Young Link and Young Zelda figures are tied to retro masks on the store page. You do not need to finish other Zelda games first. This story stands alone. Prices and the store link are on Switch 2.
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.
