Nintendo has released two Japanese TV commercials for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and they give the first look at Dark Link in the Nintendo Switch 2 version, IGN reported. Nintendo posted the spots on October 16.
Dark Link is the shadowy double of Link who serves as the Water Temple's mini-boss in the 1998 Nintendo 64 original. The fight takes place in a fog-filled room with shallow water and a dead tree at its center. In that game, Dark Link takes the player's save-file name and his health scales to match the number of Heart Containers Link has.
The commercials show only a brief moment of the fight, with Dark Link appearing on Link's sword. According to IGN, they also show Ganondorf playing an organ, Link playing the ocarina and the cutscene in which Link obtains the Master Sword, along with some endgame footage. IGN flagged the clips as potential spoilers for players new to the game.
The remake is a Switch 2 exclusive and launches on November 5, 2026.
