Bandai Namco Reveals Its Role in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake

Bandai Namco has confirmed that it contributed to the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Bandai Namco Studios created art and assets for the game, including characters, environments, animations, story cutscenes, and interface elements.

An internal Nintendo team led the main development effort under series producer Eiji Aonuma. Monolith Soft also contributed, drawing on its experience creating environments for recent Zelda games and the Xenoblade Chronicles series. SRD and 1-Up Studio helped with development, engine optimization, and asset creation.

The remake uses the technological foundation of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The 1998 classic has been updated for modern consoles with improved draw distance and lighting, higher-resolution graphics, and orchestral music. The original game’s core structure remains intact. Gameplay changes include a dedicated jump button and an updated item assignment menu.

The game received high scores from critics after release. In the UK, it also had the second-biggest launch in the history of the Zelda series.
