Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake File Size Revealed for Switch 2

The Ocarina of Time remake will take up 24.5 GB on Switch 2, a massive jump from the N64 original's 32 MB. It launches November 5.

Get your storage ready, because the Ocarina of Time remake is going to take up a whole lot more space than you might expect. Nintendo's eShop recently updated file size info for a bunch of Switch 2 and Switch games, and the big one everyone's been waiting for finally has a number attached to it.

According to the eShop page, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will need 24.5 GB of download space on Switch 2. If you're planning to go digital, you'll want to clear out at least 25 GB before launch day so you can dive back into Hyrule the moment it goes live.

To put that into perspective, the original 1998 N64 version of Ocarina of Time came on a cartridge that held just 32 MB. Yeah, you read that right. We've gone from 32 megabytes to 24.5 gigabytes, and that jump tells you a lot about what's going into this remake.

All that extra space points to serious upgrades under the hood: revamped visuals, high-resolution textures, and possibly some new content we haven't seen yet. Nintendo hasn't spilled all the details, but the file size alone suggests this isn't just a quick port.

The remake is locked in for a November 5 release. That date's creeping up fast, so if you're excited to return to one of the most beloved adventures in gaming history, now's the time to start making room on your console.

For anyone who grew up with the N64 classic, seeing that 24.5 GB figure is a wild reminder of how far things have come. It's also a pretty good hint that this version is aiming to be something special.
