Two Nintendo 64 adventures carry the series into 3D: Ocarina of Time on 21 November 1998 in Japan, and Majora’s Mask on 27 April 2000.

Both need the Expansion Pack’s Nintendo 64 app. The base membership does not include them. The 3DS remakes are physical cards now that the 3DS shop has closed, and the 2026 Switch 2 release is a different product with its own page. Scores I print: 99 and 95. Unit totals I print from the encyclopedia line are 7.6 million and 3.36 million. I do not replace those with a fresh investor number I do not have.

FAQ
Can I play Ocarina of Time on Switch without the Expansion Pack?
The 1998 version, no. The N64 app is an Expansion Pack title. The 2026 version is a Switch 2 game, not a patch.
Does Majora’s Mask need Ocarina of Time?
The story assumes it. Release order agrees. The timeline page puts Majora’s Mask on the child branch.
