Get ready for The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, as IGN will be providing live coverage of all the news, trailers, and surprises Nintendo has prepared for us. The event starts today, September 8, at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm UK time, with a 30-minute presentation celebrating the iconic series' 40th year.

Will Link finally speak in this film? What does his voice sound like? These burning questions might finally be answered.

Nintendo is also rumored to have a Zelda Switch 2 bundle and Ocarina of Time amiibo in store. Could they be teasing the next mainline Zelda game, potentially overshadowing the Ocarina of Time remake? Only time will tell.
