NateTheHate Links Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake to June 9 Direct
zelda is back at the center of Nintendo’s June 9 Direct, with NateTheHate saying The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake could be the event’s main reveal. The broadcast is scheduled for 10:00 EDT and 4:00 CEST, and he called it the “bon moment pour révéler le jeu.”
June 9 at 10:00 EDT
The June 9 presentation gives Nintendo a fixed stage, and NateTheHate is treating it as the right one for an Ocarina of Time remake. He said Nintendo would make an “erreur” and a “faute de marketing” if it left the game out of a general Direct, which turns this from routine showcase chatter into a timing call about one of the company’s most visible properties.
In March, he had already mapped Nintendo’s calendar for the rest of 2026 and 2027, and he also suggested then that the remake could arrive for the 2026 holiday season. That earlier forecast is what gives the June 9 claim more weight: the Direct is no longer just a rumor cycle stop, but a possible launchpad for a project he has been pointing to for months.
Ocarina of Time as Switch 2
The remake is being framed as a Switch 2 title, which is why the June 9 slot matters beyond nostalgia. A major Zelda reveal would give Nintendo a recognizable system seller to point at early in the console conversation, and that is the part of the lineup NateTheHate says cannot be ignored in a general presentation.
He also said a new 3D Mario game has little chance of debuting during the broadcast. “Je ne pense pas que nous aurons une bande-annonce de Mario 3D lors de ce Direct,” he said, while also playing down the odds of a Mario Kart World DLC announcement or a Mario Maker Switch 2 game. That leaves the Zelda remake as the more aggressive read on the June 9 event.
Mario 3D stays unlikely
The complication is that NateTheHate’s calendar talk is still a prediction, not a Nintendo announcement, and that matters because he is drawing a hard line between what he expects and what he does not. He has had earlier calls land before, including a modernized Star Fox version, but the June 9 Direct will still decide whether Zelda is the headline or just another rumor that ran ahead of the company’s plan.
For readers watching the Switch 2 cycle, the practical takeaway is simple: June 9 at 10:00 EDT is the moment to watch for an Ocarina of Time reveal, and the strongest competing expectation has already been pushed aside. If Nintendo wants the remake to do console-selling work, this is the stage where it would need to appear.
