Once every generation, a beloved artifact of digital culture resurfaces — not merely as nostalgia, but as a question about what endures and why. Rumors now circulating suggest Nintendo is preparing to remake The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for its Switch 2 console, with retail leaks pointing to pre-orders opening as early as August 4, 2026. The move, reportedly paired with a Star Fox 64 remake, reflects a broader human impulse: to hand something formative to those who never held it, and to ask whether the original flame can be relit in new hands.
