You'll never believe how much bigger the Switch 2 game is than the Nintendo 64 original
When the original Nintendo 64 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in 1998, the entire game fit on a 32 MB cartridge. The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 remake does not; in fact, the updated version of the classic game is over 800 times larger. That's according to the recently revealed file size for the remake, so you should start clearing some storage space.
We now know that the Ocarina of Time remake on Nintendo Switch 2 will take up 27 GB of storage. That's according to a photo of the game's download card in Japan, posted on X by Genki_JPN. That doesn't make the remake a big game by modern standards. The likes of Call of Duty can easily take up over 200 GB alone on consoles. It is, however, the biggest mainline Zelda game to date.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , the most recent mainline entry in the series, takes up 24 GB on Switch 2. The only game that exceeds the size of the Ocarina of Time remake is currently Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment , the 2025 Musou spinoff, which takes up just over 43 GB.
