A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is reportedly not in development for Nintendo Switch 2, according to a new claim from X user Shpeshal Nick. The same source also claims that Ganondorf is planned as the third amiibo associated with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, although production issues could potentially change those plans.
Nick shared the information in response to a discussion started by Austin John Plays, who had been examining dialogue in the recently released Ocarina of Time remake. Austin suggested that certain lines appeared to reference Majora, while other users interpreted them as possible hints toward Fierce Deity or Ganon.
Austin also pointed out that the use of the word “otherworldly” in the dialogue had initially led him to believe the reference was not connected to Ganondorf.
According to Nick, however, his source specifically stated that a Majora’s Mask remake is not currently in any form of production. He also claimed that the third planned Ocarina of Time amiibo would feature Ganondorf, although he cautioned that manufacturing complications could affect the final release.
Another X user, Dryleaf Arts, questioned how anyone could be certain that a remake was not even in the earliest stages of development. He suggested that ruling out full production would be more reasonable than claiming no development activity was taking place at all.
Nick acknowledged that he did not know how his source could verify that information. However, he defended the source’s track record, claiming that the same individual had told him about the Ocarina of Time remake two years earlier.
According to Nick, the source had also described the remake as having an unusually high budget for a Nintendo remake. He further claimed that the individual previously provided accurate information about Nintendo’s console and controller, as well as Metroid Prime 4, years before their release.
Speculation surrounding a potential Majora’s Mask remake intensified following the November 5, 2026, launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2.
Dataminers reportedly discovered unused NPC dialogue and code referencing an unsettling mask, prompting theories that Nintendo could be teasing a follow-up based on the original Nintendo 64 sequel.
The Ocarina of Time remake introduces fully voiced cutscenes, dedicated jumping mechanics, revised combat controls, and updated visual assets while retaining the original game’s dungeon progression.
Nintendo recently announced that the remake sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide during its first four days, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game over that launch period.
