Princess Ruto in the Ocarina of Time Remake

Nintendo’s product page confirms the 5 November 2026 release, Nintendo Switch 2 platform, overhauled visuals, orchestral music, voice acting, and expanded cutscenes. The current page did not expose a readable price during this review. The how-to-play page links the official store for the current regional amount.

What changes for Ruto

Voice coverage: keep the wording precise

The official English store advertises voice acting and expanded cutscenes. Zelda Wiki describes fully voiced cutscenes, while Wikipedia’s gameplay summary calls them partially voiced. Those descriptions are retained as different coverage claims. They do not justify saying that every ordinary conversation in the game is voiced.

Three releases side by side

The quest still starts with the letter

The broad sequence remains the Silver Scale, the bottled letter at Lake Hylia, King Zora, a fish, and the belly dungeon. GamesRadar and Zelda Dungeon agree on the remake route. The detailed rescue page separates room changes: the map chest is in a different place in the Switch 2 walkthrough, so older room-by-room directions should not be treated as identical.

Sales: a publisher statement, not two independent counts

Nintendo’s 11 November announcement reports over 5.2 million units worldwide in the first four days and calls it the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game. Wikipedia repeats the announcement, so those are one underlying sales source. Zelda Wiki’s “second best-selling” description concerns cumulative ranking; it does not contradict a first-four-days launch record. This guide retains Nintendo’s precisely scoped claim and does not turn either ranking into a live chart.
