My Nintendo News reports that Google Search is offering a retro-styled experience tied to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, recreating the appearance of search in 1998 as the game approaches its reported Nintendo Switch 2 release.

According to My Nintendo News, users can activate the feature by searching Google for “Zelda Ocarina of Time” and clicking a glowing Master Sword at the bottom right of the page. The report says the page then shifts to an appearance modeled on Google Search in 1998, the year the original game arrived on Nintendo 64.

The same publication presents the experience as a way to celebrate the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 release. However, the supplied evidence does not include a direct Google announcement establishing that the feature is an official promotional campaign, so its formal status remains unconfirmed.

My Nintendo News separately reports that Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 3 developed the Nintendo Switch 2 remake. The development detail was linked to a Nintendo Ask the Developers segment, adding information about the team involved without establishing a release date for the game.

Product availability has also been reported separately. GAMEWAVE says a 40th-anniversary The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch 2 collector’s edition returned to stock on Amazon France on November 2, 2026, at €519, with supplies described as limited. The publication also reports that major retailers, including Target and Best Buy, had confirmed restocking during the first week of November, although dates and quantities were not always provided.

Taken together, the supplied material documents related reports about a Google Search experience, the remake’s development team and collector-edition availability, rather than one event jointly announced by all of the sources. The exact official release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 game is not established in those reports.
