The Legend of Zelda steals the show in today’s Nintendo Direct

Capping off the big three showcases, Nintendo held a meaty Direct presentation today. The biggest reveal? Yep, that’d be Zelda.

Surprises and big reveals

Following on the heels of impressive showcases from both XBOX and PlayStation, Nintendo had its work cut out for it. Today’s Nintendo Direct was lengthy too, incorporating a Treehouse event thereafter, and with the main show focusing on a huge number of reveals for the Switch 2. Not that there weren’t a few Switch games as well, but we can definitely see the focus (thankfully) shifting.

Maybe we shouldn’t have been, but we were surprised that no Super Mario title was included. Not that there’d been any rumors to indicate that the plumber would be present, but we were hoping. Even so, that’s not to say that there weren’t gems, and more than a handful of games were included that should make fans happy.

Among those was Kingdom Hearts Collection, which will bring the first three games in the series to the Switch 2. Yes, “the first three”. We have to say that, because Kingdom Hearts IV is now official, and also heading to the Switch 2. Setting up to launch on the console too, is the Xenoblade saga. And did we mention that there’s a brand new installment on the way for that series too? Well, there is.

Along with all of that, the likes of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Muramasa: Revenant Blades also got official reveals. And as for surprises, there were a few of those too. Both Stellar Blade and Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition are on the way.

A Legend of Zelda classic returns

Then there was the biggest scene stealer of the event, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. No, not a port, but instead this announcement was a confirmation of the rumor that a remake was coming. Not much was shown for this revitalization of the N64 classic, but we’d expect to see plenty more about it, and soon. That’s because the game is actually due this year for the Switch 2.

So all in all, a decent amount to take in, and we’ve got plenty of trailers for you to watch. Scroll down for the official summary of the event, along with accompanying vids.
