Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 gets a 343MB day-one patch for Zelda Notes
Nintendo pushed a 343MB Version 1.1.1 day-one patch for the Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake on November 4, adding Zelda Notes before launch.
Nintendo has already patched The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, a day before the remake goes on sale. Notebookcheck reported on November 4, 2026 that Version 1.1.1 is a 343MB update that turns on Zelda Notes and clears a batch of unnamed issues ahead of the $59.99 launch.
What Version 1.1.1 changes
Japanese support notes list two items. First, Zelda Notes support is enabled inside the Nintendo Switch App on phones and tablets, including a daily quiz of about 2,000 questions and a virtual ocarina, with on-screen setup tips at the start of the game after you update. Second, Nintendo says it "fixed several issues to ensure you can enjoy the game comfortably," without naming the bugs.
What buyers should expect
The remake ships as Version 1.0.0; 1.1.1 is the first patch. Early physical and digital copies already carry the new build once the download finishes. The full game shows about 24.8GB in Switch 2 software management, and the retail street date is November 5, 2026. Day-one patches are normal for big Nintendo releases, but this one matters if you want the companion features working from the first session rather than after a later download at the store.
If you preloaded or pick it up at launch, let the update finish before you dig into Hyrule so Zelda Notes and the comfort fixes are already in place.
Players who already installed the day-one build can confirm Zelda Notes from the title flow; anyone still on 1.0.0 should expect the 343MB download before the companion tools appear.
