Nintendo to hold two Directs next week, including one for Zelda’s 40th anniversary

Safe to assume we'll finally learn more about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake

Nintendo has announced that it will air not one but two Nintendo Direct presentations next week.

On Tuesday, September 8 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, the company will stream a roughly 30-minute Direct celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series.

Then, on Wednesday, September 9 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, Nintendo will host a roughly 45-minute general Direct featuring a variety of Switch 2 games, followed by a nearly two-hour Nintendo Treehouse stream offering deeper dives into some of those same titles.

You can stream the Directs via Nintendo’s YouTube and Twitch channels.

Historically, Nintendo has only held one Direct in a given window, so getting two is especially noteworthy. In terms of Zelda, it’s safe to assume we’ll see more from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake that was teased in June and set to launch sometime this year. It’s also possible we’ll get the first trailer for the live-action The Legend of Zelda movie that is hitting theatres in April.

The main Direct, meanwhile, is a bit more mysterious. Presumably, we’ll finally get a release date for The Duskbloods, FromSoftware’s Bloodborne-esque multiplayer action-RPG that recently got a public network test but is currently only slated for “2026.”

We also haven’t seen the next mainline Pokémon games, Winds and Waves, in a while. Nintendo may even offer one last big look at Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, which launch on September 17 and October 22, respectively.

Regardless of what’s shown, it’s undoubtedly going to be a big week for Nintendo. (And for Apple fans too, since September 9 is the company’s major fall keynote.)

What are you hoping to see from the Directs? Let us know in the comments.
