The Legend of Zelda is 40 years old in 2026, and that's a pretty landmark occasion for any video game franchise, whichever way you slice it. As part of that, fans have growing expectations that Nintendo could be preparing a raft of big announcements to mark the event, and those hopes might not be too far off base.
Noise around a potential Ocarina of Time remake for the Switch 2 has been growing, with other claims made by the same leaker recently proving true. We may also get some more news on the upcoming movie adaptation, but one area which is significantly more up in the air is a potential new game in the single-player series, and fans are preparing themselves for some tough times ahead.
Given how long it takes to develop games these days, we could be looking at a really long wait for a new Zelda game. Over on Reddit, one user asked the community if they would be happy to wait until 2030 for the next game in the series, and explained why they thought we could realistically be looking at a few years before we get to play it.
