Okay, so it’s been a crazy month for gaming news with tons of events, starting with Sony’s showcase and the PC Gaming Show earlier this month. But it sounds like Nintendo isn’t going to be left out! Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb mentioned on his podcast that we can expect a Nintendo Direct on June 9th. I’m so excited to finally hear what they’ve been working on!
Grubb couldn’t share many specifics about the upcoming Nintendo Direct, like exactly what it will feature or when it will air. He did say that time zones will be a key consideration for when fans can watch it, but confirmed it’s scheduled to happen on Tuesday morning.
A recent statement from Grubb supports his previous prediction that Nintendo is planning a Direct presentation around mid-June. He’d mentioned last month that Nintendo would probably wait until after Summer Game Fest to hold its showcase. It’s currently unknown whether the Direct will feature only Nintendo’s own games, or if it will also include games from other developers and publishers.
If Nintendo does hold a Direct presentation soon, and it focuses on games made by Nintendo themselves, the biggest news will likely be an official announcement of a remake to the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. There have been rumors for months that Nintendo plans to release it around the holidays.
Releasing a remake of Ocarina of Time in 2026 would be perfect timing, as it coincides with the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series, which began with the original game on the NES in 1986. Nintendo likely chose Ocarina of Time for a remake instead of the first game because it’s only been available on the Nintendo 64 (1998) and Nintendo 3DS (2011). Given how beloved the game is, it makes sense for Nintendo to introduce it to a larger, modern audience – especially with a Zelda movie currently in development.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is hugely influential and often ranked among the best games of all time. It was groundbreaking for its open-world design in 3D, its innovative Z-targeting system which revolutionized 3D combat, and its gameplay structure. This structure built upon the foundation of A Link to the Past and became the blueprint for most subsequent The Legend of Zelda games until the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in 2010.
Remaking Ocarina of Time could also allow Nintendo to introduce Majora’s Mask – its sequel from 2000 – to more players. Majora’s Mask was built using the same technology and resources as Ocarina of Time, making a remake more feasible.
