HORI Releases Electric Ocarina of Time That Works with Switch 2 Remake
The product turns the game's signature instrument into a playable electronic device that the Switch 2 remake's sound recognition responds to, without doubling as a controller.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
HORI will release the Electric Ocarina of Time in November for 7,980 yen. It is an electronic instrument modeled on the ocarina Link plays in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Nintendo Switch 2 console picks up the instrument's sound and links it to some in-game effects in the Switch 2 version of the game. It is not played by blowing and cannot be used as a game controller. It has free play and auto play modes, a volume dial, and an earphone jack.
Nintendo Store will separately sell the Ocarina of Time , a reproduction of the ocarina that appears in the game. HORI's Electric Ocarina of Time is a different product: an electronic instrument the Switch 2 console detects by sound, triggering some effects in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is not a controller and is not played by blowing. Free play mode lets players press the finger holes to play notes freely, and auto play mode plays the game's songs easily. A volume dial and an earphone jack are included.
