Here's Our First Look at Dark Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
Nintendo has shown off Dark Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the first time.
Nintendo has unveiled two new trailers for the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, giving fans a glimpse into the revamped version of the iconic Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. Among the notable changes, Dark Link makes a surprising appearance. A shadowy, mirror-image version of Link, Dark Link is known as the mini-boss of the Water Temple. In the original game, he challenges players in a fog-filled room with shallow water and a dead tree as the centerpiece.
Interestingly, Dark Link's name is a mirror reflection of the player's save file name (registered by Navi), and his health varies dynamically based on how many Heart Containers Link possesses at that moment. The new trailer showcases a brief encounter between Dark Link and Link, with Dark Link menacingly looking down from Link's sword.
The trailers also feature other significant moments from the original game, such as Ganondorf playing an organ, Link playing his Ocarina, and Link finally obtaining the Master Sword. While the trailers offer tantalizing glimpses into the remake, they also contain potential spoilers for those unfamiliar with the original game. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026.
