People have been begging Nintendo for an official release date, and we officially have one now.

This is notably exactly two weeks before Grand Theft Auto 6 drops. It seems Nintendo has no fear of going head-to-head with one of the most-anticipated games of the year (and of this decade if we are being fair). And they have no reason to - GTA 6 isn't launching on the Switch 2, so they aren't competition for Nintendo.

Additionally, Ocarina of Time has its own solid fan base who'd gladly explore Hyrule rather than Vice City.

Will you be purchasing the Ocarina of Time remake (and the limited-edition Legend of Zelda-themed Switch 2)?
