Nintendo is getting ready to celebrate 40 years of The Legend of Zelda, and we now know a little more about what fans can expect from the special anniversary Direct on September 8.
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct will begin at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and run for approximately 30 minutes. Nintendo has confirmed that the presentation will focus specifically on Zelda and the franchise's anniversary.
But ahead of the broadcast, Nintendo has revealed two important details about what's coming.
Ocarina of Time Will Be Part of the Direct
One of the biggest confirmations is that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be featured during the presentation.
Nintendo has indicated that the upcoming version of Ocarina of Time will appear during the anniversary showcase, giving fans a reason to expect a closer look at the project.
Ocarina of Time remains one of the most recognizable games in the Zelda franchise, so its inclusion makes sense for a presentation celebrating four decades of the series.
Exactly how much Nintendo plans to reveal remains to be seen, but the confirmation makes Ocarina of Time one of the major things to watch for when the Direct begins.
The Celebration Goes Beyond Video Games
The second confirmation is that Nintendo won't be limiting the presentation entirely to games.
Nintendo says the Direct will also cover 40th anniversary initiatives beyond gaming.
