The Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is happening today, and Nintendo is giving the series a full presentation of its own. The stream starts September 8 at 7 AM PT and runs for about 30 minutes.
Nintendo has kept the actual reveal list quiet. That matters, because there is already plenty of speculation flying around. For now, the confirmed part is simple: 30 minutes focused on The Legend of Zelda, followed by a separate Nintendo Direct tomorrow.
When the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct starts
Nintendo says the Zelda presentation goes live at 7 AM PT on September 8. In Sri Lanka, that is 7:30 PM on September 8. The company says the show will last approximately 30 minutes.
A broader Nintendo Direct follows on September 9 at 7 AM PT and is expected to run about 45 minutes. Nintendo Treehouse: Live comes after that show with gameplay from selected titles featured during the Direct.
What Nintendo has actually confirmed
Not much, and that is probably deliberate. Nintendo has confirmed the date, start time and approximate runtime, but it has not published a list of Zelda games or announcements that will appear.
So if you see a supposed full lineup making the rounds before the stream, treat it as rumor unless it comes from Nintendo. There may be big surprises. There may not. We will know once the show starts.
How to watch
Nintendo is hosting the presentation through its official Nintendo Direct page. The company also says viewers can watch through the Nintendo Today! smart-device app where the service is available.
Why this one is worth watching
The interesting bit is the schedule. Zelda gets its own 30-minute anniversary show today, then Nintendo comes back with a separate general Direct tomorrow. That gives the company room to keep the Zelda celebration focused instead of squeezing it into a larger showcase.
TRENDWIRE will update this story if Nintendo confirms new details or announces anything major during the presentation.
