ZELDA NOTES: Ocarina of Time Remake
Nintendo-confirmed ZELDA NOTES features for the 2026 Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake and how they differ from Threads of Time.
Quick answer
ZELDA NOTES is a companion service within the Nintendo Switch App for compatible smart devices. Nintendo has announced daily records, image-based location challenges, a virtual ocarina and quizzes for the Switch 2 remake. It is distinct from the in-game Threads of Time story tracker.

What the app adds
Today's Record summarizes daily accomplishments and stats. Gossip Quest asks you to identify an in-game location from an image. Play Ocarina offers touch-based music and shareable scores; the quiz tests game knowledge. These are Nintendo-announced features, not proof of every final app screen.
What you need
Nintendo describes ZELDA NOTES as part of the Nintendo Switch App on a compatible smart device. Its announcement lists a Nintendo Account and an internet connection. Check regional app availability and current device requirements before relying on it.
Do not confuse the two guides
For your next in-game story objective, use Threads of Time. For the companion phone features, use ZELDA NOTES. Neither is the touch-screen item menu Nintendo documented for Ocarina of Time 3D on 3DS.
Daily quiz, image challenges and the virtual instrument
Nintendo names a once-a-day quiz with over2,000 total questions, Gossip Quest image-based locations, and a touch-controlled virtual ocarina with shareable QR music scores. These phone activities are not the same as humming into the Switch2 during play. Exact final app screens and recognition settings remain unconfirmed; a separately sold physical instrument is not stated as a prerequisite.
