Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Needs 27GB on Switch 2

Nintendo reminds players that the digital version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake requires at least 27GB of free space on Switch 2, launching exclusively on November 5.

Hey, Zelda fans — if you're planning to go digital with the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, you might want to clear some space on your Switch 2 first. Nintendo's official customer service account just dropped a friendly reminder that the download version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will need at least 27.0GB of free storage.

That's not a huge number by modern standards, but the Switch 2's internal memory can fill up fast if you've been hoarding games. If your console or your microSD Express card is running low, Nintendo suggests tidying up your software data ahead of time — either by moving things around or deleting what you don't need anymore.

The company also pointed players toward its support page for detailed instructions on how to manage your data. One important note: the Switch 2 uses microSD Express cards, which are not compatible with the standard microSD cards from the original Switch. So if you're upgrading and planning to grab the digital version, double-check that you've got enough usable space on the right kind of card.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake launches exclusively on Switch 2 on November 5. With just a few days to go, Nintendo is clearly making sure everyone is prepared for the download — nothing worse than getting hyped for a classic remake and then hitting a storage wall.

So before launch day hits, take a minute to peek at your storage situation. Move some screenshots, delete that demo you never finished, or pick up a microSD Express card if you need one. Your future self will thank you when the game unlocks without a hitch.
