Where each version of Ocarina of Time runs
The 2026 remake runs only on Nintendo Switch 2. Switch 1 can still play the Nintendo 64 original through Nintendo Classics if you have the Expansion Pack. There is no official PC version.
Platform by version
People searching “Switch 1” are usually asking about the remake. The store sentence is “exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2,” so the answer for that build is no. The 1998 game is a different product. Nintendo’s Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online, with the Expansion Pack, includes the original. I am not listing a download size for that N64 app because I did not copy one from a support page on 5 Nov 2026.
The 2011 Nintendo 3DS version is physical-only in current retail notes: the 3DS eShop is closed, so a used or leftover cartridge is the path. That cartridge is the one that unlocks Master Quest after the credits.
On PC, the project people name is Ship of Harkinian, a community port described on its Wikipedia page. It asks you to supply your own ROM. This site does not host, mirror, or link a ROM, an emulator binary, or a PC download. If you want a legal copy of the remake, use the Switch 2 page.

Why the ROM queries stop here
Search volume for “rom” is real. The useful answer is which official shelf still sells or streams a version, not a file. FAQ collects the short leftovers: amiibo, storage, and which Zelda to play first. Song charts for people who already own the game are on songs.
Questions
Is the remake on PC?
No official PC version was on sale on 5 Nov 2026. A community port exists and requires a ROM you already have. This site does not distribute one.
Can Switch 1 play the 1998 game?
Yes, through Nintendo Classics with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. That is the original, not the 2026 remake.
