Players deciding whether to keep following The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake now have one confirmed reason to return in 2027: two new amiibo-linked masks. However, this is cosmetic bonus content rather than the substantial expansion or gameplay mode some fans may be waiting for.
What is confirmed for 2027
Nintendo has confirmed new in-game masks for the Ocarina of Time remake, tied to a pair of upcoming figures. One mask recreates Link’s Nintendo 64-era appearance, while the other is based on Princess Zelda’s original N64 design. The masks are not described as part of a broader DLC pack, campaign expansion, or gameplay update. Instead, players will unlock them by using the relevant amiibo. The Young Link and Young Zelda figures are both scheduled to arrive sometime in 2027, although Nintendo has not announced a specific launch date for either one.
Who needs to buy the new amiibo
Anyone who wants both N64-inspired masks will need both figures. Each amiibo is priced at $24.99, putting the minimum cost for the complete pair at roughly $50 before any applicable taxes. That makes these optional cosmetics a purchase aimed primarily at collectors and dedicated Zelda fans rather than players looking for major new playable content. Existing Zelda amiibo still have a use in the remake: scanning older figures can provide random consumable items once per day. Those scans do not replace the new figures for the newly confirmed masks.
What players should watch next
The remake has launched on Nintendo Switch 2 to strong critical reception and currently holds a 96 overall rating, according to the source information. Despite that reception, Nintendo has not confirmed a large-scale add-on. There has been no announcement of an expansion, paid story content, or the return of Master Quest. Its absence has naturally made it a notable feature for fans to monitor, but any potential addition remains speculation until Nintendo provides official details. Availability is another point to watch: the Ocarina of Time amiibo were reported sold out at the time of writing, with no restock timetable confirmed.
What players should know
- Two new masks are confirmed for 2027: one inspired by N64 Link and one inspired by N64 Princess Zelda.
- The masks require the new Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo figures.
- Each figure costs $24.99, meaning both masks require at least a $50 spend.
- No release date within 2027 has been announced for the figures.
- No major DLC, expansion, or Master Quest update has been officially confirmed.
Expert View
The 2027 amiibo content is a neat collector-focused callback to Ocarina of Time’s N64 roots, but it should not be mistaken for meaningful post-launch support. Players interested only in new gameplay should wait for Nintendo to clarify whether the remake will receive a larger update or expansion.
