Nintendo is commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda with a special Nintendo Direct presentation. The broadcast, scheduled for September 8, will focus entirely on the beloved franchise.
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is set to begin at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will run for approximately 30 minutes. Viewers can tune in via YouTube and Twitch. Following the live stream, Nintendo typically releases individual videos of the presented content on its official YouTube channel.
While Nintendo has stated the presentation will offer "a variety of information" concerning The Legend of Zelda, specific details remain undisclosed. Speculation suggests the broadcast could feature new gameplay footage and release information for an anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Additionally, fans may receive updates on the previously announced live-action movie, merchandise, and potential concert events celebrating the anniversary. There is also hope for news regarding the ports of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for the Nintendo Switch.
