It&#8217;s true, and it&#8217;s the main focus of today&#8217;s new Nintendo Direct. The series is in the spotlight, and Nintendo says it&#8217;ll celebrate its ruby anniversary with a new broadcast that fans will want to check out. Don&#8217;t forget, there&#8217;ll also be a Nintendo Direct on September 9, but for now, here&#8217;s a closer look at how you can watch the Zelda stream.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-watch-the-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-direct\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to watch the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As usual, you can watch the Legend of Zelda Nintendo Direct on YouTube and Twitch. Once the livestream wraps up, Nintendo typically&nbsp;uploads individual versions of the trailers and footage&nbsp;shown off, all available to watch on its official YouTube page.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>YouTube<\/li>\n<li>Twitch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-direct-start-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct start time<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kicking off early on September 8 at&nbsp;7 AM PT \/ 10 AM ET,&nbsp;this Legend of Zelda&nbsp;Direct will run for around&nbsp;30 minutes.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>7 AM PT<\/li>\n<li>10 AM ET<\/li>\n<li>3 PM BST<\/li>\n<li>4 PM CEST<\/li>\n<li>11 PM JST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-to-expect-from-the-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-direct\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect from the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nintendo says the presentation will deliver &#8220;a variety of information&#8221; related to The Legend of Zelda. Beyond that, your guess is as good as ours, but we expect to see a new look at the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, with a closer look at its gameplay, how it differs from the classic Nintendo 64 game, and its release date. A teaser for the upcoming live-action movie ahead of its 2027 release\u00a0would also be welcome, and if we had to take an educated guess, we&#8217;d expect 40th-anniversary limited-edition hardware for the Switch 2,\u00a0more merchandise drops, and maybe even concert tour celebrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if we&#8217;re really lucky, maybe we&#8217;ll finally get an update on two outstanding Legend of Zelda ports: Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Considering how Nintendo has brought other Legend of Zelda adventures into the modern era, it&#8217;s high time that these classics made their way to Switch consoles.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/the-legend-of-zelda-40th-anniversary-direct-start-time-how-to-watch-and-what-to-expect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you believe that The Legend of Zelda franchise turned 40 this year?
