Malon in the Ocarina of Time Remake
The Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time launched on 5 November 2026. Malon is still the ranch girl in a white dress and yellow scarf. A few lines and one piece of side text are new. This page lists what two or more sources agree on, and what only one source has written down.

Launch numbers
Nintendo’s 11 November announcement reports over 5.2 million copies worldwide in the first four days, counting digital and physical sales. Gematsu and Game Informer report the same announcement. These are three publishers discussing Nintendo’s one underlying sales dataset, not three independent sales measurements. The number is a launch snapshot, not a running total.
Where to find her
The remake wiki places child Malon in Hyrule Castle Town and at the ranch, and adult Malon at Lon Lon Ranch. She still gives the Weird Egg and Epona’s Song. The ranch map notes list 3 cows, 1 Piece of Heart, 3 Gold Skulltulas, 1 chest, 1 grotto, and 8 characters. It does not name all eight, so I do not invent the roster. The ranch events themselves are on the Lon Lon Ranch guide, and the song buttons are on Epona’s Song.
IGN posted “How to Get Epona” on 6 November 2026. A smaller playthrough from 9 November 2026 shows Malon speaking on the ranch. I use the second clip as proof that spoken lines exist, not as a full script. The public cast roundup does not list her actor. Jun Mizusawa voiced her in the 1998 game; that credit is on the Malon profile, and I do not copy it onto the remake.

5 November 2026, as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, developed by Nintendo EPD.

US list prices are $59.99 digital and $69.99 physical, corroborated by Nintendo’s listing and Nintendo Life’s buying guide, checked 14 Nov 2026.
Did Malon’s design change?
CBR says her new design is among the most faithful: the same white dress, yellow scarf, and hair shape.
Who voices Malon in the remake?
She has spoken lines. The public cast list I read does not name her performer, so this page leaves the name blank.
