The Legend of Zelda fans may finally have a few things to watch in June, even if Nintendo has not announced a new mainline game yet. The series is in its 40th anniversary year, a major summer showcase season is about to begin, and rumors around a possible Ocarina of Time remake have picked up again after Nintendo’s recent Star Fox reveal.
There is confirmed news too: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vinyl soundtrack is set for release this year, and LEGO’s Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set is currently listed as shipping by June 12. For fans waiting on something bigger, June now feels like the first real window to watch.
The Legend of Zelda turned 40 in 2026, but Nintendo has been quieter than many fans expected. Summer is when the industry usually stacks announcements, and Nintendo has often used Direct-style presentations to set up the second half of the year.
Nothing has been officially announced for a June Zelda reveal, so this needs to stay in rumors. The reason fans are watching is simple: the anniversary year is moving on, Switch 2 needs more big exclusives, and Nintendo has not yet shown what its major holiday game will be.
A new Zelda project would answer all three questions at once.
The loudest rumor is a Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Nintendo has not confirmed it, but the chatter grew louder after Star Fox was officially announced for Switch 2. That is because earlier rumors linked both projects as part of Nintendo’s 2026 lineup.
A remake of Ocarina of Time would make sense for the anniversary. It is still one of the most important games Nintendo has ever made, and a modern version would give Switch 2 a nostalgia-heavy release with huge name recognition.
A remake like this would need to be more than a prettier version of the Nintendo 64 classic. Fans would expect smarter controls, stronger visuals, careful pacing changes, and enough respect for the original to avoid sanding off what made it special.
June is not only about rumors. Nintendo and Laced Records are releasing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild soundtrack on vinyl, with both a smaller 2LP edition and a larger 8LP box set. Nintendo’s U.S. store lists the release for September 4, while Laced Records lists an estimated June 2026 shipping window, so availability may vary by region and edition.
LEGO also has the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set active again through its store, with the official listing currently showing a June 12 shipping date. The set lets fans build versions inspired by Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild, which makes it a fitting collector item during the anniversary year.
June has enough confirmed Zelda activity to keep collectors busy, but the biggest story is still what Nintendo may or may not announce next. The Ocarina of Time remake talk is still unconfirmed, even if recent Nintendo activity has made the rumor more interesting.
If Nintendo has a larger anniversary plan, June is one of the best windows to reveal it. Until then, fans have confirmed collectibles to watch and one very big remake rumor that refuses to go away.
