Nintendo's [US store listing](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-switch-2/) is unambiguous on the calendar: *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* for Nintendo Switch 2 **Releases 11/5/26** — **November 5, 2026**. It is a Switch 2 exclusive. That hard date is the plate.

One title hygiene note before the rebuild language: there is **no** Nintendo product titled “A Grain of Time” on the store or news primaries reviewed for this issue. The spine item is Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 only.
