NateTheHate2 Disputes Claim That GameStop Leaked Zelda: Ocarina of Time Pricing and Pre-Order Details

A Google search result appeared to show a GameStop listing for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2, including a release date and a $59.99 price, prompting claims that the retailer had leaked pre-order information. Industry insider NateTheHate2 says those details actually belong to Beast of Reincarnation and were incorrectly inserted into the search snippet by Google. The correction only invalidates this specific listing as evidence; it does not confirm or deny the existence of an Ocarina of Time release for Switch 2.

NateTheHate2 says GameStop did not leak a release date, price, or pre-order details for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2. The information shown in Google’s search snippet reportedly came from a separate GameStop listing for Beast of Reincarnation and was attached to the wrong result.

Why this matters

The apparent GameStop listing was treated as evidence that an Ocarina of Time release was approaching. This explanation removes that specific evidence and shows why search snippets should be verified against the original page.

Confidence reason

Insider-style X post from a known media outlet; the wording points to a possible data leak, but DNA Insider cannot verify the listing independently.
