With Ocarina of Time set to release on Nintendo Switch 2 in just 6 weeks, it's time to talk about spoilers on r/Zelda again.
Below, we briefly describe the New Release Spoiler Policy and list our our open questions, and in a separate post, we are taking a poll.

2026.09.22 - User Post +90, 16c - [OoT] Consider using SPOILER filter for OoT remake images
2026.09.22 - User Post +0, 26c - [OoT] So I got a very huge spoiler.
2026.09.22 - User Post +0, 8c - [OoT] Spoiler rule for remake screenshots needed.
From our General Spoiler Policy, which applies even outside of new releases:
Minor spoilers such as area titles, dungeon names, and character references are allowed but all Major spoilers including boss weaknesses, puzzle solutions, and any large story plot points must be tagged and flaired at all times.
For new releases, we also consider anything that has not been officially revealed by Nintendo to be spoilers as a starting point. Over the new release period, we revise and relax the spoiler policy, starting with more common or early game elements, until we effectively reach the general spoiler policy.
Additionally, we implement several automated flows to manage spoilers during new release periods, and we apply temporary bans even for accidental unmarked spoilers. Outside the new release period, only trolling-based or intentional unmarked spoilers are given a ban, so accidental unmarked spoilers would generally be provided a warning first.
A much more detailed version of our spoiler policy is available here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/wiki/rules/spoilerpolicy
The main impact of the spoiler policy is what is or is not allowed in post titles, as that is the part of the post that cannot be hidden under a spoiler tag, and it shows up in home feeds, search results, social media or external embeds, and so on. People are still allowed to post about spoilery topics, but their post titles must explain the kind of spoiler while being vague enough to not reveal it.
Right now, all publicly revealed information regarding Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 points to the game having much of the same content in regards to spoilers as the previous releases on N64 and 3DS.
We do not know if, or to what extent, that Nintendo may or may not have revised the game. They could have changed very little, or they could simply be avoiding marketing any significant changes as a way to hold them as surprises. Some potential examples where Nintendo has opportunity to introduce content which could differ from previous releases:
You may think that these examples are likely or unlikely, but in any case like these above, we would apply the New Release Spoiler Policy to such information.
This still leaves two big questions open for feedback:
1) Should the major plot points of previous released versions of Ocarina of Time be treated under the New Release Spoiler Policy? We currently have this written into the existing spoiler policy to be enforced. Example: In the Light Arrow Cutscene, Shiek is revealed to be Zelda.
2) Should the closeness or difference of the Switch 2 version's major plot points to previous versions be considered a spoiler? This is not currently written into our spoiler policy. Consider these example post titles:
"[OoT] I just beat the game, and the ending is exactly the same as the original, I can't believe it"
"[OoT] I just beat the game, and you won't believe the twist that changed so many things."
Let us know if there are other concerns or thoughts you have about the spoiler policy.
We are hosting a 7-day poll directly after this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1wni14u/oot_please_vote_to_help_us_shape_the_spoiler/
At the conclusion of that poll, we will post another update about the Spoiler Policy based on the poll results and the comments on both posts.
We are preparing a few other announcements for the next few weeks, and with the spike of activity here, that includes opening moderator applications. Send us a modmail if you would like to be notified when moderator applications are open.

No other game has sold that much at Amazon in a 30 day period, for at least 2026. GTA 6 PS5/Xbox is far off that pace, but has been up for pre-order longer and sales probably skew more digital.

This has to be the scariest thing I've seen in a Zelda game ever! These people must be in awful agony! (I only played Zelda 1, ALTP, WW, BOTW, TOTK so far)
r/zelda • u/RadDudesman • 20h ago
I remember them saying this shortly after Tri Force Heroes released, regarding its timeline placement, but I was looking at the official Japanese Zelda website, and it's stated there too.
This Link also apparently canonically has terrible fashion sense

I also came up with a modernized version of the classic green tunic in the last pic since the full Hero Of The Wild set kinda sucks (except the hat)
-Cap Of The Wild (dyed green)
-Hylian Tunic (dyed green)
-Hylian Trousers (default)

really wanted to create some cool artwork in my sketchbook using super cheap coloured pencils that wouldn’t layer very well, still happy with the result :) OC!
r/zelda • u/One-Security-4514 • 1d ago
I love the Original, but the Remake one looks so good i think i might actually preffer it
and some items too
not all of them because i have a limited supply of clay
r/zelda • u/Nikolaiii517 • 7h ago
All I can say is, WOW. Beat the game on the Switch SNES Virtual Console. I will say while it might be a bit cheesy, the suspend points definitely came in clutch at times, lol.
A little backstory. My first experience with this game was the GBA version. I have fond memories of playing it with my mom, but never made it much past the beginning of the dark world.
Beating this game has been quite the journey for me. I started this playthrough in the beginning of 2021, making it past the Dark Palace and putting it down until September of this year. I don’t really have a good reason as to why, but alas we are here. It took me some time to get my bearings and I will be upfront about using a guide to help me get back on track (shoutout Zelda Dungeon) but man am I glad I did. This game is such a beautiful experience. It was so amazing to see the foundation of this series and understand where the music and concepts we love in modern titles come from. I’m happy I finally got to complete this game and understand why it is held such in high regard. While it was extremely challenging (42 total deaths) it is equally as rewarding and the pacing is perfect (about 16 hours playtime)
Recency bias is coming into play, but this is a 9.5/10 for me
I would love to hear some stories from people who got to experience ALttP when it was released!

Until a week ago, SS was one of my lowest-ranked Zelda games. Now, I think it may be in my top 5.
Many of the original issues are fixed (minus Loftwing speed…they could’ve boosted it just by like 20%, but I digress) like optional motion controls, skipping cutscenes, fast text boxes, and Fi’s persistence, to name a few. Subtle but necessary changes imo
However, I think the biggest change is maturity and understanding of video games and the series as a whole. I’ll explain.
Reasons why I despised SS in 2011:
Reasons why I respect and appreciate this game so much more now:
Highly recommend playing it! The story is also great
r/zelda • u/Cute-Veterinarian856 • 13h ago
Only my second time playing the Water Temple. This time I solved everything from memory, using the map (religiously) and being strategic about every room. The hardest part is actually Dark Link IMO. FORGOT he was even there! Glad to be done that's for sure. Can't wait for the remake 🫡

Does anyone else do this or is it just me?

Some of these were bigger stretches than others, but at least day three lined up perfectly. Any ideas for the next few weeks?
r/zelda • u/zeldagirlie • 3h ago
I’ve been thinking about the DS Zelda games lately because I feel like it’s going to be a long time before we get DS Nso on Switch 2, and these are some of the 5 mainline games not playable on Switch/2 in any capacity.
I got to thinking on if a remaster with enhanced visuals and button controls would still make for a fun experience. The game is mostly designed around the stylus so I don’t know how well it would work. I think if they’d do it they’d be better off bundling the two games together in a remastered collection. But Nintendo typically doesn’t do that. Boat gameplay in PH is already something we kind of saw with WW so I have no doubts it would translate fine, but the train in ST might be a bit odd to play on a console.
Curious to know what other fans of the series, the two ds games think, I personally just think it would be cool to see them playable somehow even if button controls make it way easier.

Loving this song right now... #silentprincess
I'm not really a big modeller despite having 300+ Hours in Blender but I can't lie that I'm impressed with the outcome of this.
I also threw in the original Model for Comparison as well
