- GameStop has accidentally leaked the pre-order date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
- The pre-orders will reportedly begin on August 4, 2026.
- GameStop has now changed the listing's description on their website.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake was officially announced during the Nintendo Direct in June 2026. While Nintendo confirmed that the remake is slated for a 2026 release, the company has remained hush about its pre-order dates. However, it looks like fans don’t have to wait any longer, as GameStop accidentally leaked the pre-order date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Pre-Orders Begin on August 4
An eagle-eyed Reddit user spotted that GameStop accidentally revealed the pre-order date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake which will open on August 4, 2026. However, GameStop has now quickly updated the listing, suggesting that the retailer may have accidentally leaked the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake pre-order date ahead of Nintendo’s official announcement next month.
Since August 4 falls on a Tuesday, fans are now speculating that Nintendo could host a Zelda 40 Direct event to celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary on that day. If that’s the case, then players might finally get their first look at the gameplay of the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, which was missing during the game’s official announcement last month.
So, the new gameplay trailer for the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake at the next Nintendo Direct may end with a “Pre-Order Now” message if the leaks are true. Moreover, Nintendo’s trailer release pattern suggests that players can expect a major gameplay reveal during the first week of August. For example, the trailers for the latest Nintendo first-party titles, including Donkey Kong Bonanza and Mario Kart World, etc were released roughly three months before their respective launches.
This could also mean that Nintendo is targeting a November 2026 release for the remake. Since the company prefers to release its first-party games on Thursdays, some fans believe that the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake could be released on the same day GTA 6 releases, which is November 19, 2026 (Thursday). However, take this info with a grain of salt, as these are just speculations based solely on the leaked pre-order date by GameStop.
