A Norwegian retailer has placed Monolith Soft’s name beside The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, creating a new but unconfirmed clue about the Nintendo Switch 2 game. Elkjøp’s product page identifies the studio as the developer, though a retailer listing alone does not confirm the credit.
The entry is specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Beyond the Monolith Soft listing, it does not explain the studio’s role or provide any further information about how the remake is being developed. Retailer databases can also contain errors or details that have not yet been made public by the companies involved.

Timing adds another layer to the discovery. Rumors point to a Nintendo Direct during the week of September 7, with Nintendo’s usual mid-September presentation window helping drive expectations. Nothing connects the retailer credit to a possible announcement, and Nintendo has not publicly detailed the remake’s developer.
Monolith Soft has already supported Zelda
Monolith Soft would not be an entirely random name in a Zelda project. Alongside its work on the Xenoblade series, the studio has assisted Nintendo on major releases including Splatoon, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart World, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Earlier reporting connected the studio to comments from Zelda series lead Daiki Iwamoto, who wanted Monolith Soft to play a central role in the franchise. A retailer credit for an Ocarina of Time remake would give that possibility a more specific shape, even if it falls well short of official confirmation.
Grezzo sets a useful precedent
Grezzo offers a useful comparison. The studio led Nintendo’s remakes of Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Link’s Awakening before working on the original 2D adventure The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Monolith Soft following a similar path could place it in a stronger position to lead a future 3D Zelda project, but the current listing does not establish that outcome.
For now, Monolith Soft is best treated as a clue attached to a retailer page rather than a confirmed development credit. An official statement from Nintendo or Monolith Soft would be needed to confirm the studio’s involvement and clarify whether it is leading development or supporting another team.
