The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Battle for Hyrule Begins – Nintendo Switch 2
Saving Hyrule can wait a moment: viewers have questions about Ganondorf's musicianship. Nintendo of America's new Ocarina of Time trailer opens with the villain playing an organ, and the comments are giving his performance almost as much attention as Link's sword fights.
Some viewers are inspecting whether his fingers match the notes. Others are simply enjoying the contrast between a world-threatening villain and his commitment to the keyboard. The organ is a familiar touch from the original adventure, which made Zelda's leap into 3D in 1998.
This is a promotional trailer for Nintendo's Switch 2 rebuild, due November 5, 2026. It reached roughly 730,000 views in nine hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for short uploads. Its comment section had also surpassed the usual first-day total many times over.
Beyond Ganondorf's recital, the trailer packs in encounters with Phantom Ganon, Bongo Bongo and Morpha. Navi accompanies Link, who plays his ocarina before the Great Deku Tree before the edit turns to sword combat against Ganondorf. Nintendo describes the adventure as built from the ground up for Switch 2, with the same central threat: Ganondorf seeking the Triforce and control of Hyrule.
Nintendo's quieter Game Boy announcement is prompting a different kind of recognition. Under its October games update, viewers are recommending Mole Mania and recalling hours spent with Revenge of the 'Gator, giving the smaller archive titles a conversation of their own.
