Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake File Size Officially Confirmed
Nintendo Switch 2 players will need to clear a lot of space on their systems to accommodate The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake's file size
The upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, will require a substantial 27 GB of storage space. This file size represents an increase of over 800 times compared to the original 32 MB cartridge version released in 1998. While this may seem particularly large for a mainline Zelda game, it is currently the biggest of its kind, surpassing the size of Tears of the Kingdom by a slight margin.
The only larger game at the moment is the Musou spinoff Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, which takes up 43 GB on Switch 2. The expanded file size is likely due to the complex art style and larger game world introduced in the remake. Despite the size, the remake is generating positive reviews for its impressive graphics and improved gameplay, successfully blending nostalgic elements with modern enhancements.
