Trinkets of Time

Nintendo is going all-out for its upcoming release of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on 5th November 2026. The big headliner, of course, is the release of a 40th anniversary-themed Zelda console, which hits shelves a little earlier on 29th October 2026.
Then, we’re getting two different physical Ocarina SKUs: a standard instrument from Nintendo itself (which remains somewhat elusive) and an electric licensed variant made by Hori.
Both the console and Hori’s Ocarina are currently on display in Tokyo, so we managed to get a few cheeky snaps of each so you can see what they look like in-person. The console itself is absolutely gorgeous, as is expected, but that Ocarina is pretty handsome too.
