Nintendo celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise with a live stream event that began at 4:00 PM. During the stream, the company announced several major updates and new projects. Among the highlights was the first official look at a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is set to release by the end of 2026 on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. Collector's editions of the new console and its accessories, including the Joy-Con controllers, will also be available. Additionally, a live-action film adaptation, produced by Sony, was mentioned, with a planned release in France in April 2027. The remake of Ocarina of Time was officially scheduled for November 5, 2026, which coincides with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. This date marks the first time the game will be available on the Switch 2, which is designed specifically for the remake. The updated version includes improved visuals, more detailed environments, modernized controls such as a jump button, and added voice acting. Despite these upgrades, the game will retain the original's core structure and gameplay mechanics, ensuring a familiar experience for longtime fans. The announcement was made during a special Nintendo Direct event focusing on the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series. The remake will feature completely redesigned graphics and gameplay tailored for the Switch 2. The visual upgrade includes redesigned characters and environments, with dubbed voices in French, though the game will remain true to the original’s artistic style and charm. The remake’s release date was confirmed as November 5, 2026, and the game will be available separately from the new Switch 2 console. In addition to the game, Nintendo announced a new Legend of Zelda-themed Switch 2 console with custom artwork on the Joy-Con controllers, dock, and console body. This special edition will be available on October 29, 2026, just a week before the game’s launch. However, the console will not include a copy of the remake, which fans will need to purchase separately. Additional accessories, including a Pro controller, storage case, and dock for the controller, will also be released alongside the console. The live-action film adaptation, titled The Legend of Zelda, was officially revealed during the September 2026 Nintendo Direct event. Set for release on April 30, 2027, the film will tell an original story not tied to a specific game in the series. Nintendo President Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned that more details will be shared later. The film has reportedly cast actors for key characters such as Ganondorf and Impa. Other 40th-anniversary initiatives include new merchandise, a concert tour, a museum exhibit in Kyoto, and themed events around the world.
