Nintendo doesn’t usually give advance notice of its Directs, but this time it has made an exception. Maybe because we’re getting not one, but two, and one of them will be very special. Because they’ve announced that on Tuesday, September 8, and Wednesday, September 9, we’ll be getting a Nintendo Direct on each day, the first dedicated to the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda and the second a general one featuring both first- and third-party announcements.
A remake we’re eager to see
As for the first one, we can expect, first of all, something very obvious: the first real look at the Ocarina of Time remake. While we already got to see a very brief teaser, we still haven’t seen any of its gameplay and this is where we expect to see it. Also to be expected is that we’ll see new details about the film, which premieres on April 30, 2027, and it wouldn’t be surprising if we saw some kind of new announcement about the franchise. Probably some kind of game collection that we can buy for a limited time, like they did for Super Mario’s anniversary.
On the other hand, for the general Nintendo Direct we know nothing. There haven’t been any leaks, beyond Brazil’s age ratings board leaking a remake of Romancing SaGa 3, Romancing SaGa 3: Destinies United, which wouldn’t be surprising to see in this Direct. But otherwise, we only know one important detail: it will be focused exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 games.
In any case, we won’t have to wait long to find out, considering that they’ll be held on September 8 and 9 at 4:00 PM CEST, with runtimes of about 30 and 45 minutes, respectively. So get ready, because Nintendo seems to have more than one surprise up its sleeve.
