The countdown is nearly over for one of the most anticipated Nintendo releases of the year. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is about to launch, and Polygon has published a breakdown of exactly when the game unlocks across time zones, including EST and PST, along with pre-order details.

For a game this iconic, launch timing is more than trivia. Ocarina of Time is widely regarded as one of the most influential games ever made, and a new release of it on current Nintendo hardware is the kind of event that has players planning their evening around the unlock. Knowing whether the game goes live at midnight local time or at a single global moment determines whether East Coast and West Coast players are booting it up together or hours apart.

The release also arrives during a stacked week for the platform — it shares the spotlight with Stellar Blade's Switch 2 port landing the same day, making this one of the busier stretches on Nintendo's calendar this fall.

For players who haven't locked in a copy yet, pre-orders remain an option ahead of the unlock. Once the clock hits, a new generation gets its crack at Hyrule's most celebrated adventure — and veterans get an excuse to go back.
