Nintendo is celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda with new accessories for the upcoming remake of Ocarina of Time, which is set to release on November 5, 2026, for the Switch 2. One of the highlights is an electronic ocarina accessory developed by HORI, a third-party brand. This device is already available for pre-order in France at a price of 49.99 euros. Major retailers such as Fnac, Amazon, and Carrefour are listing the pre-order, and the ocarina comes with a display stand, volume control, and a headphone jack for use with external speakers. It requires three AA batteries to operate. The electronic ocarina is designed to work with the Switch 2's sound recognition feature, which lets players trigger in-game actions by humming or playing melodies on an instrument. While the remake still allows players to use the controller's buttons to play melodies, it also includes the built-in microphone of the Switch 2 as an alternative. The ocarina is optional, and simply humming the correct melody is enough to activate in-game functions. The accessory offers two modes: Free Play, where players use buttons and finger positions to play notes, and Auto-Play, which reproduces 12 game melodies with a single button press. Unlike traditional wind instruments, it doesn’t require blowing into it, as sounds are generated electronically. In addition to the electronic ocarina, Nintendo has also introduced a traditional wind instrument ocarina for the Nintendo Store. This model, which was used by Eiji Aonuma, a key developer of the Zelda series, during a game demonstration, requires blowing into it and placing fingers on the holes to produce notes. While it adds a more authentic experience, it will require some practice to play the melodies of Hyrule. The price for this traditional ocarina has not yet been announced, and no retailers currently offer it for pre-order. These accessories highlight Nintendo’s effort to enhance the immersive experience of Ocarina of Time while celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Zelda franchise. Whether players choose the electronic or traditional ocarina, they can expect a deeper connection to the game’s iconic soundtrack and gameplay elements.
