Nintendo’s latest Zelda remake is a smash hit. World News
The Verge • 2d ago

Nintendo’s latest Zelda remake is a smash hit.

More than 5.2 million copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were sold in the first four days following its launch on November 5th. That’s the blockbuster hit the Switch 2 console has been waiting for, and a thematically appropriate throwback to the boost that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gave to the original Switch.

Nintendo is ending support for signing into your account using a Google or Apple account.

The change goes into effect on January 26th. The company says you can use the email or sign-in ID connected to your account instead, but you’ll need to set a password or passkey for it. Creating a new Nintendo account with a Google or Apple account also won’t be an option anymore.

Nintendo will soon let you gift games on Switch and Switch 2.

You’ll only be able to gift digital games to people that you’re in a family group with, but still, it’s nice to see that this feature will exist at all. It’s set to roll out on November 16th, Nintendo says. [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/4._Gift_on_HOME_screen_English.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all]

What classic should Nintendo remake next?

Ocarina of Time is one of the most storied installments not just in the Zelda franchise, but in Nintendo history, so it only makes sense that the company would eventually remaster it. Which got us wondering: are there other titles in the Nintendo back catalog that could use a remake — not a sequel — to usher them into the modern console age?

*Link rolling noises.*

Nintendo added a sprint button to the Ocarina of Time remake so you wouldn’t have to spam the roll button, but people have already found a roll spam that seemingly is faster anyway. My hands hurt just watching this. [Media: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1xpl9c7/you_can_roll_faster_in_ocarina_by_canceling_with/]

Nintendo’s game sales offset weaker Switch 2 demand.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 sales decreased by 37.4 percent year-over-year to 6.49 million units in the recent two quarters. That all adds up to just over 26 million total Switch 2 sales since its launch last year. Despite the year-over-year dip, Nintendo sold 24.49 million Switch 2 games during the first half of the year, up 19 percent compared to the same period last year.

Nintendo and other gaming companies are implementing accessibility labels on their storefronts.

Nintendo, EA, Google (via YouTube Playables), and Riot Games “have begun to implement” tags as part of the Accessible Games Initiative, following Xbox and Ubisoft, the Entertainment Software Association announced this week. The tags currently cover 24 features, including button remapping and narrated menus.

“Hey! Listen.”

Nintendo revealed yesterday that it held blind voice auditions for the Ocarina of Time remake and ended up casting an actor for the same role they had in the original. That actor was apparently Kaori Mizuhashi, who played Navi in the original and is listed as Navi’s Japanese voice in a leaked credits sequence for the remake, Eurogamer reports.
