Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Edition Switch 2 Rumors Gain Momentum After Foxconn Revenue Surge
Speculation around a special Zelda-themed Switch 2 is heating up, and a major manufacturing clue has added more fuel to the discussion. Foxconn, one of the key assemblers associated with Nintendo hardware, reportedly posted a major revenue jump in July, leading some industry watchers to wonder whether production has ramped up for a new limited-edition console.
The timing has caught attention because rumors have already pointed to a Switch 2 edition tied to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. While Nintendo has not officially confirmed any special hardware, the combination of rising manufacturing activity, retail leaks, and upcoming Zelda anniversary chatter has made the possibility hard to ignore.
Foxconn’s July revenue reportedly reached 21.4 billion New Taiwan Dollars, marking its strongest monthly result since 2017. That figure is also higher than any month leading up to the original Switch 2 launch period. Although Foxconn manufactures products for several major gaming and technology companies, there has been no clear sign of a major new customer that would explain such a sharp rise.
That has led to speculation that Nintendo may be preparing additional Switch 2 hardware for the coming months. One possibility is a limited-edition Zelda console designed to launch alongside, or shortly before, the long-awaited Ocarina of Time remake.
A revised Switch 2 model could also be part of the picture. Nintendo has already made hardware adjustments in some regions, including changes related to easier battery replacement and compliance with right-to-repair rules. A refreshed Pro Controller has also been discussed, with rumors suggesting a Zelda-inspired version featuring iconic imagery such as the Triforce and the Hylian Crest.
Some fans have wondered whether the revenue surge could point to a Switch 2 Lite or an OLED upgrade instead. Nintendo’s research and development spending has increased over the past year, which could indicate work on new hardware variations. However, there has been far more chatter around a Zelda-themed console than around a Lite or OLED model, making the special edition theory more convincing for now.
The holiday season may be the most likely window for new limited-edition hardware. Nintendo has successfully used themed consoles to boost interest in the past, including the Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED, which helped drive sales during 2023. A similar strategy for the Switch 2 could make sense, especially if the company wants to build excitement ahead of a major Zelda release.
There is also the matter of pricing. With reports pointing to a possible Switch 2 price increase in September, Nintendo may want to create added value with a collectible edition. A Zelda-themed Switch 2 could appeal strongly to longtime fans, collectors, and players planning to buy the system before the release of Ocarina of Time remake.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remains one of Nintendo’s most beloved games, and a remake would likely be one of the biggest releases of 2026. A special console tied to the game could become one of the most sought-after Switch 2 bundles, particularly if Nintendo gives it a premium design inspired by Hyrule, the Master Sword, or the legendary N64 classic.
Adding to the speculation, a Zelda 40th Anniversary logo has reportedly surfaced, suggesting Nintendo may have broader plans for the franchise. So far, the milestone has not received a major public celebration, but that could change if the company is preparing a new showcase or announcement event.
Nintendo has only confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is planned for 2026. The company has not revealed a final release date, opened pre-orders, or announced any special-edition Switch 2 hardware. If no announcement arrives soon, attention will likely shift to a possible Nintendo Direct in September.
For now, the rumored Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake edition Switch 2 remains unconfirmed. Still, the unusual manufacturing activity, controller leaks, anniversary hints, and Nintendo’s history with limited-edition consoles make this one of the most exciting Switch 2 rumors heading into the holiday season.
