Nintendo is preparing two consecutive presentations in September, with one dedicated to the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. The anniversary event is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 8 a.m. Mexico City time and will last about 30 minutes.

The company is expected to show more details about the leaked new edition of the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as a controller. The presentation may also provide updates on the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the classic Nintendo 64 game released in 1998. That remake is expected to launch in the second half of 2026.

Nintendo and Sony Pictures are also working on a live-action film based on the franchise. The presentation could include an exclusive preview. The film stars 17-year-old British actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Zelda, the princess of Hyrule. Directed by Wes Ball, it has completed filming in New Zealand and is scheduled to open in Mexican cinemas on April 30, 2027.

The monthly Nintendo Direct will follow on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 8 a.m. and will run for about 45 minutes. The games announced during that event are expected to arrive on the Switch 2 in winter, from late December through March 2027. Both presentations will be available through Nintendo’s official YouTube channel.
