👀 Another Nintendo Direct takes place tomorrow that focuses on Switch 2 releases this winter
Hey, listen!
5:34 AM: Good morning, Zelda fans! Who’s ready to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Nintendo’s most iconic franchises? Today, Nintendo is hosting a special Direct dedicated to our hero Link and his beloved princess Zelda, and we should be in for a treat.
We’re expecting to get our first proper look at the live-action Legend of Zelda movie, which arrives in cinemas on April 30, 2027. Nintendo will also show The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake in more detail, which will rival GTA 6 as one of the biggest game releases of the year.
Expect other Zelda-themed tie-ins and promotions during the 30-minute broadcast, including a limited-edition Switch 2 console bundle, and maybe even some more game reveals. Twilight Princess HD and The Wind Waker HD on Switch 2 would be nice, Nintendo.
I’ll be covering all the announcements as they happen right here on The Shortcut, so make sure you refresh the page regularly to get new updates. Don’t forget to subscribe and help support our work, which is written by humans and completely ad-free!
