The remake, announced for a 2026 release, now has a November 5 launch date. Nintendo also confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition console, which ships October 29 with a Triforce-themed design, alongside a matching Pro Controller and Carrying Case. Two Ocarina of Time amiibo, Child Link and Child Zelda, arrive in 2027 and grant a special mask when read in-game. Outside the games, the smartphone app Nintendo Today! updates its Zelda theme on September 9 and starts The Legend of Zelda Collection Cards, over 300 types distributed one per day with a quiz. The Nintendo Museum distributes a special design admission pass for about one year from September 9, adds a series history board, and opens a Super Family Restaurant featuring a Link figure this autumn.","whyItMatters":"Nintendo spread the 40th anniversary across a remake, anniversary hardware, amiibo, museum programming, and the Nintendo Today! app, making the celebration a multi-product campaign rather than a single game release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Direct was one of two Nintendo broadcasts on consecutive nights, with Nintendo Direct 2026.9.9 following on September 9 at 23:00 JST to focus on titles arriving this winter.
