Nintendo will hold a Legend of Zelda: 40th Anniversary Direct on September 8 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and a general Nintendo Direct on September 9 at the same time. The Zelda broadcast will run 30 minutes and the Nintendo Direct will run 45 minutes, followed by a roughly 110-minute Nintendo Treehouse livestream. This is a major presentation window for first- and third-party games after the Switch 2 launch in 2025 and amid a quieter 2026 release slate.

• Legend of Zelda: 40th Anniversary Direct set for September 8 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will run 30 minutes.
• Nintendo Direct set for September 9 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will run 45 minutes.
• A Nintendo Treehouse livestream will follow the September 9 Direct and is scheduled to run roughly 110 minutes.
• These presentations arrive after the Switch 2 launched in 2025 and during a comparatively slower 2026 lineup; Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is scheduled to release later this month.
