The story
The Legend of Zelda franchise turns 40 this year, and Nintendo has some news in store. The company is airing a Zelda-themed Direct on September 8th at 10AM ET (it’s actually the first of two news-filled events), which is expected to last around 30 minutes and, according to Nintendo, will include a “variety of information related to The Legend of Zelda.”
That’s a pretty vague description, but the event will almost certainly include more details on the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake for the Switch 2, which currently doesn’t have a release date, as well as the live-action Zelda movie that hits theaters in 2027. But given the length of the event, there will likely be some surprises as well. Hey, maybe we’ll see a tease for the next mainline Zelda adventure.
