*The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release on November 5, 2026. The game’s file size—the largest in the series’ history—is generating a lot of buzz.
27GB—Exceeding *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of *Ocarina of Time* has a file size of 27 GB, a figure that has been listed on the Nintendo Store page and international product sites since the game’s official announcement. However, the fact that this title has the largest file size of any mainline *Legend of Zelda* game in the series’ history is once again generating buzz.

On the international forum Reddit, users pointed out that *Breath of the Wild* for the Switch 2 was approximately 24 GB and *Tears of the Kingdom* was 20 GB, noting once again that *Ocarina of Time* exceeds both of those.
Overseas users have expressed a variety of reactions to this large file size.
Overall, it seems that gamers overseas strongly feel that the game’s file size isn’t particularly large by today’s standards, and that Nintendo’s games offer a rich experience in a smaller file size compared to other companies.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* is scheduled for release on November 5. The download version costs 7,980 yen, and the physical version costs 8,980 yen (both prices include tax).
