Two of the biggest entertainment releases of the fall arrived in the same week, and both shot up Bluesky's trending list:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2 – released November 5, 2026, trending since November 4 with more than 8,700 posts. That makes it the top non-political trend on Bluesky so far this month.
- Godzilla Minus Zero – opened in Japan on November 3 and in North America on November 6, trending since its Japanese opening with more than 3,500 posts.
(Post counts are from Bluesky's Trending Topics on November 8. See our full November 2026 Bluesky trends roundup for the rest of the list.)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
The essentials
- Release date: November 5, 2026
- Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive
- Price: around $60 for the standard digital edition, with the physical edition listed higher at some retailers
- Announced: at Nintendo's Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8, 2026
Why it's so big on Bluesky
Ocarina of Time is one of the most beloved games ever made, and a full remake had been one of the most-requested Nintendo projects for years. Bluesky's gaming community skews toward people who grew up with the original – and toward artists, who produced a wave of fan art in the days around launch. Expect the conversation to stay heavy for weeks as players reach the later dungeons.
Following the game on Bluesky without spoilers
Even for a 1998 game, a remake brings new content, changes and secrets – and people who want to find them on their own. Here's how to enjoy the conversation without getting anything spoiled:
- Mute spoiler words, temporarily. Mute terms like dungeon names, boss names or "ending" for a week or two. Skyscraper's temporary mute removes the mute automatically when you're done, so you don't forget about it.
- Watch for content warnings. Many posters label spoilers using Bluesky's content warnings or a "spoilers" label. Keep these hidden in your moderation settings.
- Follow a fan-art feed instead of the hashtag. Art feeds tend to be much lighter on story spoilers than discussion tags. See our custom feeds guide.
- Build a list of games writers you trust. Reviewers and games journalists are careful about spoilers and are the best source for news like patches or performance issues. Our lists guide shows how to set one up.
Godzilla Minus Zero
The essentials
- Japan release: November 3, 2026
- North America release: November 6, 2026 (wide), distributed by GKIDS
- Predecessor: Godzilla Minus One (2023), which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects
A record start in Japan
Early reports put Minus Zero's Japanese opening day at around $4 million – a franchise record in Japan and roughly double what Minus One earned on its opening day. North American and worldwide totals weren't in yet at the time of writing; trade reports projected a global opening of around $60 million. Treat all of these as early estimates until official weekend numbers are published.
Why it's trending
Minus One was a rare crossover hit: a Japanese-language monster movie that won over critics, general audiences and the Oscars. Bluesky's film community – critics, film Twitter veterans and a large Japanese user base – was already invested. The two-wave release (Japan first, then North America three days later) also stretched the trend out: Japanese reactions on November 3, English-language reactions from November 6.
That staggered release is also a spoiler risk. If you're in North America and haven't seen it yet, a temporary mute on "Minus Zero" and "Godzilla" for the weekend is a good idea.
What's Next: GTA 6
November isn't done with big releases. Grand Theft Auto VI is set for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it is likely to be the biggest entertainment trend of the month on every platform, Bluesky included. We've covered how to follow it in How to Follow GTA 6 News on Bluesky.
