• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: Eastern Time, the spotlight will shine on the Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary event.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: This special direct is set to last around 30 minutes, and you can catch it live on Nintendo's YouTube channel or the Nintendo Today app.

  SPEAKER_00: If you're a fan of the series, you've likely heard the buzz about a special edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 console and controller that recently leaked.

  SPEAKER_00: And let's not forget the whispers about an Ocarina of Time remake and a live-action Zelda movie expected to hit theaters next year.

  SPEAKER_00: Talk about Nostalgia Overload.

• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Then, on September 9th, at the same time, Nintendo will air a regular direct that promises to be jam-packed with information about Switch 2 games set to launch this winter.

• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: With the Switch 2's price tag now sitting$50 higher, one can't help but wonder which games could justify that increased cost.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Perhaps a new Metroid?
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Or a fresh take on some beloved classics?
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: My take.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: If they think$50 more is going to fly without some serious firepower in the lineup, they might be cruising for a bruising.
• 1:53
