Nintendo has announced that it’s holding not one, but two Directs next week. One of them will be a more general showcase talking about upcoming Switch 2 games, while the other will focus more specifically on The Legend of Zelda for its 40th anniversary.
News of this comes from an update on the Nintendo Today app. The Zelda Direct will be first on September 8 at 7 a.m. Pacific/ 10 a.m. Eastern, and will be around 30 minutes long. The general Direct will be the following day on September 9 at 7 a.m. Pacific / 10 a.m. Eastern, and will last around 45 minutes. Both will be streamed on Nintendo’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
It’s anyone’s guess what we might see in the general showcase, but there are a few things we can likely expect to see for the Zelda stream. The upcoming Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 is almost a guaranteed headliner, and there’s a strong chance we’ll finally get a trailer for the upcoming live-action film set to premiere on April 30. Thus far, we’ve only seen a few still images, behind-the-scenes shots, and gotten some casting announcements, but if Nintendo is spotlighting The Legend of Zelda for its 40th anniversary, now is a perfect time to give the movie a proper reveal with a teaser.
This is a developing story…
