Nintendo has confirmed that the 40th-anniversary celebration for The Legend of Zelda series will continue throughout the remainder of this year and into next year. Related initiatives span multiple fields including games, films, music, and character merchandise, rather than focusing solely on a single new game.
Nintendo reintroduced this commemorative plan during its latest financial results briefing. Following the release of the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time this week, the company will continue to advance "various initiatives," allowing players to engage with the series in different ways.
Currently mentioned content includes a global concert and The Legend of Zelda movie, scheduled for release in early next year. Nintendo stated that these events are aimed not only at long-time fans who cherish the series' earlier works, but also hope to provide an entry point for those encountering the series for the first time to explore its world.
The key point of this briefing is to confirm that the 40th-anniversary celebrations will span game experiences, film, live music, and merchandise, extending into next year. Specific names, dates, and regional arrangements for all projects have not yet been announced, with each project slated for separate future reveals.
