Overview
Nintendo has published a short clip that shows a closer look at Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
Those who have the Nintendo Today! app downloaded on their mobile devices were treated to more footage from the upcoming reimagining. The video in question is 16 seconds long, revealing an extended look at how The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is reincarnating the iconic villain for Nintendo Switch 2.
Character Details
"A man from the Gerudo, a tribe in which men are said to be born only once in a hundred years," official text shared by Nintendo said. "He harbors a grand ambition to obtain the Triforce, a sacred relic rumored to grant the wish of any individual who touches it."

We first saw how Ganondorf would fit into the remake's art style when Nintendo unveiled gameplay during its dedicated Direct. The new footage expands on the updated dream sequence shown previously, showing the evildoer riding on horseback as voiceover says, "And now… An evil has appeared, yearning after that power."
Gameplay Adjustments
While technically a scene players have already been looking at for decades, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will alter the moment with updated graphics. As highlighted in the app post, while the extended clip shows that the Switch 2 version of the scene is running in slow motion, the original Nintendo 64 and 3DS remake versions show Ganondorf moving normally.
This is a small change, but it indicates that the November reimagining will come with a few tweaks to a classic that fans may want to prepare themselves for. It all arrives as fans continue to be torn about some of the promised tweaks, such as a dedicated jump button, while Nintendo chose to intentionally retain the loading screens from the original experience.
Release Date
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launches for Switch 2 on November 5, 2026.
