2026 might be drawing to a close, but the celebration of The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary isn't over just yet. It's been a busy year for the franchise, most notably thanks to this week's release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, bringing back a classic to a glowing reception yet again.
Other 40th anniversary plans, like The Legend of Zelda: 40th Anniversary Content, were already planned to bleed over into 2027. Since the game didn't make its way west until 1987, it still counts, and fans are unlikely to complain about more Zelda to enjoy. To that end, Nintendo's new financial results imply that even more will be happening and that the 40th anniversary won't be wrapping up any time soon.
In Nintendo's new Second Quarter Financial Results, one page is dedicated to The Legend of Zelda, with a particular emphasis on its 40th anniversary. After celebrating the franchise's popularity and history, the report promises "a variety of initiatives to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda." On top of games and the upcoming movie, these will include "music, character merchandise, and more."
This isn't quite the same...
