The special edition console has a green and gold color scheme with Triforce designs. A Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and a Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case release alongside it in the same design. The roughly 30-minute stream also covered the Nintendo Switch 2 action-adventure game \"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,\" which is scheduled for release in 2026, and non-game anniversary projects. Those include two amiibo, Child Link and Child Zelda, set for 2027; a Nintendo Museum admission pass with a special anniversary design distributed for about one year from September 9; a series history board inside the museum; a Super Famicom Restaurant with a Link figure opening this autumn; a new photo spot from November 5; and a Nintendo Today! app update with Zelda Collection Cards, more than 300 types received one per day from September 9. Nintendo also scheduled a main Nintendo Direct for September 9.","whyItMatters":"The anniversary Direct put the October 29 hardware, the 2027 amiibo, and the anniversary merchandise on the calendar while leaving the Ocarina of Time game itself at a 2026 window, so the date Nintendo fixed is the console, not the title.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ocarina of Time showing is a remake, not just a re-release, and the two amiibo tie into it. Scanning either Child Link or Child Zelda lets players wear a special mask in the game. Sales details beyond the 2027 window are still pending.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe museum changes run on their own schedule. The 40th anniversary admission pass is distributed for about one year from September 9. Inside, a history board traces the series timeline, and a Super Famicom Restaurant with a Link figure opens this autumn. A new photo spot arrives November 5.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Nintendo Today! app, the Zelda theme updates September 9. The animated calendar switches to art themed on titles from throughout the series\u0026#39; history. The Zelda Collection Cards also start that day, with more than 300 types and one card per day. Each card unlocks a quiz.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two Directs ran on consecutive nights. The anniversary stream was September 8 at 23:00 and ran about 30 minutes. The main Nintendo Direct followed September 9 at 23:00, running about 45 minutes and covering Switch 2 software releasing this winter. Both streamed on YouTube and were viewable in the Nintendo Today! app.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition is a hardware bundle, but the Ocarina of Time Switch 2 release alongside it carries the actual calendar risk. The special edition ships October 29; that game has only a 2026 window.","twitterPost":"The Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition console arrives October 29. The Ocarina of Time Switch 2 release shares the anniversary but not the date.","threadsPost":"The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition lands October 29 as a green and gold Switch 2 with Triforce designs, plus a matching Pro Controller and case. The Ocarina of Time Switch 2 game is in the same anniversary lineup but only has a 2026 window, so the merchandise is dated and the game is not.","newsletterBlurb":"Nintendo used the September 8 Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct to date a Zelda-themed Switch 2 console for October 29, alongside matching accessories, two 2027 amiibo, and a museum and app campaign. The Ocarina of Time remake itself still has only a 2026 window.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"GAME Watch (Impress)\",\"url\":\"https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2139274.html\",\"title\":\"【Nintendo Direct】Nintendo Switch 2 \\\"The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition\\\" Announced\"},{\"source\":\"GAME Watch (Impress)\",\"url\":\"https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2139272.html\",\"title\":\"\\\"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time\\\" amiibo to be released in 2027!
