Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct: Ocarina of Time Remake and More

Nintendo announced late last week that there would not be one, but two Nintendo Direct presentations airing back-to-back. The first of these showcases was entirely dedicated to celebrating the 40th anniversary of one of gaming's most beloved and enduring franchises, The Legend of Zelda . It is an incredible milestone for the industry, and Nintendo certainly did not hold back.

The presentation opened with an epic orchestral tribute to the entire history of the series, setting an emotional stage for thirty minutes of reveals that included new hardware, live events, cinematic updates, and the return of an absolute classic. With so much information packed into a single broadcast, it can be tough to digest it all. Let us break down everything that was shown, what works, what has the internet deeply divided, and whether you should be marking your calendar for the upcoming releases.
