Zelda/Nintendo Directs September 8th/9th
« on: September 04, 2026, 05:45:29 pm »
While the Sony showing was mostly a bust, Nintendo has some cool stuff coming that I can actually be excited for now that I own a Switch 2.

They are doing a 40th anniversary Zelda event which will most likely reveal Ocarina of Time, I can see the Zelda movie trailer here, and probably will announce the leaked Zelda Switch 2.  I'm hopeful that we get a Twilight Princess/Wind Waker HD release, like put that out this or next month, and then put out Ocarina of Time for like November or December, this would be the greatest possible thing...My expectation is that they are just gonna put Twilight Princess and Wind Waker on NSO and make me very sad lol

The Nintendo Direct is then apparently all about winter Switch 2 only stuff, so probably not huge reveals for 2027 stuff, but I'm sure we'll get something generally good here.

Ok, so aside from the Zelda themed Switch 2 system that's rumored, the ONE thing I've wanted Nintendo to announce is a port of Twilight Princess HD. I'd enjoy Wind Waker and the older Zelda games as well, but Twilight Princess is top tier for me and it's really head scratching as to why Nintendo hasn't ported it to the first Switch yet/if ever.

This Zelda Direct marks not just the 40th anniversary for the series, but the 20th anniversary for Twilight Princess. If it's ever going to happen, a port or remaster announcement would most logically occur at this event.

I won't hold my breath, but I'll hope.

It's baffling they never did on Switch 1, they are some of the I think absolute last games that are trapped on Wii U.  I didn't know it was the 20th anniversary for Twilight Princess, which gives me a little more hope we could see it.  I've been dying to replay Twilight Princess for a long time and it's been annoying that I can't easily do so.  Just give them to me both in the Wind Waker/Twilight Princess HD bundle and I'll be as happy as can be.
