Nintendo just wrapped up back-to-back Direct presentations celebrating 40 years of The Legend of Zelda, and there was plenty to unpack across both days.

The Zelda movie finally has an official title

After months of anticipation, Nintendo confirmed the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda film will simply be titled The Legend of Zelda. Shigeru Miyamoto teased that watching the movie will make clear why there's no subtitle attached. The previously announced release date of April 30, 2027, was also reconfirmed, with further updates promised through the Nintendo Today app going forward.

Ocarina of Time remake gets fresh details

As widely expected, Nintendo shared new details on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2, giving fans their clearest look yet at how the beloved N64 classic is being reimagined for modern hardware.

A full 45 minutes of additional Switch 2 announcements

The following general Nintendo Direct ran a packed 45 minutes, covering new Switch 2 software beyond just Zelda content — with reactions calling out a strong lineup spanning multiple franchises and remasters, even as some fans noted a lighter presence for other major series this time around.

Beyond the games: anniversary celebrations

Nintendo also detailed real-world 40th anniversary festivities, including special Zelda-themed tickets at the Nintendo Museum available for about a year, a new historical exhibit board, and a Master Sword photo opportunity launching November 5, 2026.

Bottom line: whether you're most excited about finally having an official movie title, diving back into a remastered Ocarina of Time, or checking out the broader Switch 2 lineup, Zelda's 40th anniversary celebration delivered a packed two days of news for fans to dig through.
