Nintendo is hosting two Direct presentations back-to-back next week. The first is dedicated to The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary, setting the stage for more information related to the series. Outlets report that the Zelda-focused Direct is expected to feature updates tied to the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake.
The announcement comes after earlier reporting that a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is in development for Switch 2, with timing described as later this year. However, details such as its final look, gameplay changes, and release plans have not been publicly confirmed in full. Metro also notes that this Zelda-focused Direct is separate from Nintendo’s traditional general September showcase, implying a distinct schedule rather than a single combined event.
While Eurogamer focuses on how little is currently known about the remake and what players might learn, Metro emphasizes the confirmation of the two Directs and the dedicated Zelda 40th-anniversary format. Both accounts agree on the schedule and the expectation that Ocarina of Time will be a central topic.
