Zelda Notes tracks play data
According to Nintendo Life, the Switch 2 version of the Ocarina of Time remake is using Zelda Notes to show global player statistics. Nintendo Life published the report on 15 November 2026. It came about a week after the game launched.
The app presents data from many players. It includes the main causes of game over. It also includes the special items players use most, the enemies they defeat, and the consumable items they use. Special items are tools used during play, while consumable items are used up. The figures come from a single report and are not independently confirmed.
ReDead leads game over causes

The most common cause of game over is ReDead, an enemy in the game. Nintendo Life reports that 18% of players most often lose because of this creature. This makes ReDead the leading danger in the current figures.
The figures also list traps as a top source of damage. This means that both enemies and traps are affecting player attempts. The report shows that failure can come from more than one type of threat.
Hookshot and Deku Seeds top item use
The Hookshot is the special item used most in the reported statistics. Deku Seeds are the consumable item used most. These results show which items are prominent in early global play.
Skulltullas are the most defeated enemy type. This category tracks the enemies that players are beating most often. Together, the item and enemy figures provide an overview of current play in the remake.
Average clear time tops 20 hours
Zelda Notes also reports an average clear time of more than 20 hours. Nintendo Life says a more detailed rundown of the global play data is available in the app. Players can check Zelda Notes for the full breakdown.
Because the statistics will keep changing, the current leaders may shift. More players may finish the game or try different approaches. The reported figures are therefore a snapshot, not a final result.
Why the stats matter
The figures give a broad view of common challenges in the Ocarina of Time remake. They highlight ReDead, traps, and item use as key parts of the current global data. The statistics may interest players who want to see wider trends.
The figures cover many players rather than a single player's run. Nintendo Life says the figures will change as more people play. This means the global picture may continue to develop.
