Days after that State of Play, it’s Nintendo’s turn with the big presentations.
They made this announcement on social media:
Join us next week for two #NintendoDirect presentations!
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on Sept 8 at 7am PT (Approx 30 mins)
Nintendo Direct on Sept 9 at 7am PT (Approx 45 mins)
After the Nintendo Direct on Sept 9, tune in to Nintendo Treehouse: Live | September 2026 to watch gameplay of select titles featured during the Nintendo Direct.
The YouTube link to the Zelda direct alludes to ‘a variety of The Legend of Zelda related information’, but a few hours ago, Nintendo’s Japanese language social media referred to 40th anniversary activities that go beyond video games.
Daniel Richtman also alluded to the trailer for The Legend of Zelda Movie releasing this week. We’ll let you decide if that’s just a coincidence, but we know what we’re thinking.
