Price by region

Taiwan is the messiest region. Some reports say NT$1,756, others NT$1,880, while physical copies commonly list at NT$2,080. This guide does not invent a single Taiwan digital price; open the Taiwan eShop and check the checkout amount.

Release timing and unlock

The release date is 5 November 2026.Official

IGN reports that the digital version unlocks at midnight local time, but this guide does not repeat a US clock time; check IGN's original report for the exact time-zone conversion. That report does not give a separate Hong Kong or Taiwan unlock time, and Nintendo's store page does not list one. The exact local unlock time remains open.

If you buy after launch day, the unlock time no longer matters. If you are chasing the first hour, watch the countdown on your own regional eShop rather than converting a US time.

File size and languages

The Hong Kong Nintendo store lists a 27.0 GB file size for Nintendo Switch 2.Official

That is the listed download size, and the real footprint can grow with updates. Switch 2 storage is limited, and physical copies still need install and update space, so leave a few extra gigabytes free.

Nintendo lists 13 languages: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Polish. The store page does not break down which languages have voiced dialogue, so check the in-game settings for the final answer.

Review scores

As of 5 November 2026, Metacritic sits around 96, with IGN and GameSpot both at 9/10. Reviews praise the rebuilt visuals and presentation, the new score, manual jumping and the quicker item switching. Criticism focuses on how faithfully the remake follows the original, and on the lack of a Master Quest or higher difficulty mode at launch.

Scores move as more outlets publish, so this is a launch-day snapshot, not a permanent verdict.

Early-purchase bonus

The Hong Kong Nintendo store lists a Zelda 40th Anniversary wallpaper for phone or PC for purchases or redemptions completed by 23 November 2026.Official

It is a digital extra, not game content. Check the store page at purchase time for how to redeem it.

Questions Nintendo has not answered

• Can old saves carry over? No transfer tool has been announced. N64 cartridge and 3DS saves do not work with the Switch 2 version.
• Will there be DLC or a Master Quest mode? Nothing announced as of launch day.
• Exact frame rate and resolution? Nintendo has not published a detailed breakdown. Reviews describe stable performance, but this guide does not repeat numbers Nintendo has not published.
