Zelda 40th Anniversary Brings Major 2026 Plans
Zelda 40th anniversary brings major 2026 plans including new LEGO sets and potential remakes. Nintendo celebrates the franchise’s milestone with officially announced releases. A March 2026 LEGO set features Link’s battle with Ganon from Ocarina of Time. This represents just the beginning of anniversary celebrations according to expectations. Fans anticipate multiple announcements throughout the milestone year.
LEGO Set and Anniversary Celebration
The 1003-piece LEGO set focuses on Ganon’s monstrous pig form. It will be slightly smaller than the previous Deku Tree set released earlier. The set’s affordability makes it accessible to more fans potentially. Nintendo clearly takes the 40th anniversary seriously with this collaboration.
The anniversary officially begins in March 2026 with this release. Nintendo likely has multiple unannounced projects in development. Past Mario anniversary celebrations set high expectations for content. The LEGO partnership demonstrates Nintendo’s expanded merchandising strategy.
Potential Additional Announcements
Fans hope for an Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2. A Zelda HD anniversary collection could include Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. The Switch 2’s first mainline Zelda game might receive its announcement. Nintendo’s live-action Zelda movie trailer could debut during 2026.
These possibilities combine realistic expectations with wishful thinking. Nintendo typically celebrates major anniversaries with substantial content. The company’s approach to franchise milestones has become increasingly ambitious. Zelda fans have reason for significant excitement throughout 2026.
