Video summary
The video centers on the highly anticipated 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, with a specific focus on the upcoming direct presentation scheduled for tomorrow. The host explains that instead of gathering leaks alone, they have gathered their friends in person to share their unique predictions and excitement for the event. A major highlight discussed is the return of Ocarina of Time, which many expect to be presented not as a simple one-to-one port but with significant enhancements, potentially running on the Switch 2 or featuring improved graphics and audio. The group also anticipates a trailer for the upcoming Zelda movie, hoping it will serve as a teaser to build hype while showcasing the Kingdom of Hyrule in a new light.
Beyond the main game reveal, the predictions cover a wide range of potential announcements, including expansions for the Super Nintendo World theme park and a resurgence of orchestral concerts featuring new arrangements of classic music. There is strong speculation that Nintendo will address the large base of Switch 1 owners by releasing additional titles on their online service, with many believing it could be *The Wind Waker* rather than *Twilight Princess*, given the technical limitations of the latter. The conversation also touches on the possibility of a new dungeon or side story content being added to Ocarina of Time, ensuring that fans get fresh material without altering the core experience of the original masterpiece.
The atmosphere of the video is lively and humorous, filled with banter about the group's past podcast episodes and playful jokes about their reactions to potential announcements. The friends discuss the financial impact of new merchandise on their wallets and joke about needing new clothes due to the excitement of the event. They express a collective desire for Nintendo to honor the original vision of the game by including cut content, such as dungeons and medallions that were removed years ago, now that modern technology allows for such patches. The group unanimously agrees that this anniversary will be a massive celebration involving movies, games, merchandise, and events, marking a significant moment in gaming history.
In conclusion, the video serves as both a fun gathering of friends and a comprehensive preview of what fans can expect from the Zelda 40th anniversary direct. The consensus among the group is that Nintendo plans to go all out with this celebration, combining nostalgia with modern improvements to honor the legacy of the series. Whether it involves a full reveal of Ocarina of Time in high definition, teasers for Majora's Mask, or new content for Switch 1 owners, the excitement is palpable as they prepare to watch the event together. The video ends by inviting viewers to share their own predictions and theories about what will be announced during the direct, fostering a sense of community among fans awaiting this historic day.

All right, folks. Before we get into the
video, just a reminder we are giving
away a switch too. Right now, you can
enter through the link down in the pin
comment or the description. The winner
will be drawn on October 1st. Now, guys,
we have to talk about
Oh, man. We have to talk about 40th
anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. Cuz
you see, tomorrow, I can't believe I'm
saying this out loud, tomorrow, on the
8th, we are going to be seeing Ocarina
of Time for the first time. We're going
to be seeing a lot of crazy stuff for
the 40th anniversary. I know a ton of
YouTubers always plan out like these Let
me do a pre-day 40th like prediction
thing. And if you guys know, we've been
making predictions for the 40th
anniversary for Legend of Zelda for
months now. Really dating back to when
the 40th anniversary actually took place
back in February. So,
I thought instead of me just doing one
of those little videos or even doing one
where I gather up all the leaks because
again, I'm at home and it takes a long
time to gather all that stuff up,
I can do something quite unique. And
that unique thing is I can get my
friends involved since we're all here in
person. And ask them what they are
predicting for the 40th anniversary of
The Legend of Zelda.
First up
is Andrès Restart. Alrighty, folks. I
had a whole intro planned for this. You
guys will have heard that, but we are
actually here with Andrès Restart in
person. Not live, but in person
because Zelda's 40th anniversary direct
announced is happening.
We need some predictions, man. We've
been talking Zelda pretty much what
brought us together. Truly.
>> Yeah.
>> On a podcast episode eight
>> years ago.
>> I don't even remember it.
>> Yeah.
There might be a lot of things that are
last night you don't remember, but we're
not here to talk about those things.
We're here to talk about this. So,
Zelda's 40th.
What do you think's going to happen,
man?
>> Um well, yeah. So, because they're
actually having like two presentations
separately, the the general and this, it
does have me thinking they're going more
than just Ocarina of Time with some
fanfare. Right? So, it is obviously
Ocarina of Time. Like that that yes, and
I project that's going to be more than
one-to-one.
Like there's going to be changes.
Cool changes. Um I also Are we going to
go back and forth?
>> No, just it's all you, buddy.
>> All me. Okay, all me. All right, so
because of it, the movie trailer, they
were going to see that. Also, it's time
to announce the Zelda park expansion to
Super Nintendo World. Um I think those
are probably going to be like the three
key things, to be honest. Um
they may make mentions of some little
stuff, merchandising. Hopefully the
concerts come back. I've really wanted
that for that to come back, especially
with all the new Ocarina of Time
orchestrated music they're probably
going to do, right? So
that's the bulk of it. I
feel like there's probably going to be
another little Zelda game. I'm not
saying a new 2D Zelda, I feel like
that's that's coming a little bit later.
Um I don't think they'll show that off
alongside Ocarina of Time, but I feel
like there's got to be a little bit of
something, maybe another NES trilogy, or
like a Zelda 99 kind of thing, something
else,
I think. I don't know what it is, but
something else smaller, I think, is
going to be squeezed into the into the
direct.
>> All right. Well, there you guys have it.
>> Yeah.
>> Some last-minute predictions by Andres
Restart.
Let's see what happens.
>> Next.
>> The eagle has landed. The Game Boy
classic is stuffed up.
>> Soarin.
>> Damn. So we're talking about
>> So we're talking about, baby.
>> So.
How you doing, man?
>> Dude, I'm turning 40.
>> It's here.
>> I turned 40.
>> Oh.
All right, so you said roll the drink.
>> Roll.
Look, look, guys. This is this is a wild
video. Anything could happen. We got
bottles
>> It's the wild wild west out there.
>> Pants maybe needing changing.
>> Absolutely.
>> Tuesday.
>> It's my third pair of breeches in the
last 30 hours.
>> Oh, baby.
So what's going to make you need new
pairs of riches for Zelda's 40th.
>> Probably every announcement.
>> [laughter]
>> If I'm being honest.
I mean, it's it's
the celebration of the lifetime with
Ocarina of Time finally being back.
I you know, we just did the podcast. I'm
a firm believer that this isn't going to
be a true one-to-one. I think we're
going to see Ocarina of Time bigger and
better than ever before. What that means
remains to be seen and I cannot wait for
it.
I think we're going to get some
Zelda movie trailer, some sort of Zelda
movie trailer, even if it's just a
teaser, like a 30-second teaser, just to
set the mood, set the vibe, and for the
first time see the kingdom of Hyrule
come to life to build that hype. I
cannot wait for that. That will be a
childhood dream come true.
Zelda merch, you know, I think we're
going to see some Zelda merch.
Our wallets are going to cry on Tuesday.
We're going to feel the pain, but I
think the big hope and and I
it's one of two things and I think maybe
you might be on board with one of these
two things is
a one more thing at the end of this.
And what I would love for that to be is
either finding out that not only are we
getting Ocarina of Time in all its glory
this fall, but
it's coming full circle. They're
finishing up the era of N64 Zeldas with
the promise of Majora's Mask now being
in development. Whether it's a teaser
trailer, whether it's an announcement
that they're doing both.
Or
and maybe the safer guess, some sort of
a tease at the future of mainline
Zeldas. And I know you mentioned this on
my predictions video, but I got to
mention it here because I think there's
something to that, man.
>> Oh man, dude.
Please.
I I might need a new house.
>> Yeah.
>> We might need to leave the hotel because
as we're sitting there reacting to this
stuff, me and Stash, I'll leave you
leave the sleep, she'll hear me from
wherever I am.
>> Yeah, dude.
>> It will make the buildings fall.
>> I've had to rebuild my nest three times.
>> when I'm done with the quake I'm about
to drop.
>> Yeah.
>> When that happens.
>> Yeah, when the pants come down, the beak
comes out.
>> There you go, you heard it first.
Zelda's 40th anniversary, Nick the beak.
Well, I'm obviously we couldn't do this
video without Tyler Stash, you know. Him
and him talking loud, talking a lot of
games all the damn time, a little bit of
sports with today.
Zelda's 40th is tomorrow.
At least when they're celebrating the
anniversary, obviously it was back in
February.
Got to bring it down a notch. We just
had a wild one with Birdman.
>> Yeah, I saw.
>> So now, Stash is going to bring the deep
knowledge, you know. What are your
predictions for Zelda's 40th?
>> All right, guys. So,
fully orchestrated soundtrack. Okay?
Um
During the direct, they will say that
you can preview the soundtrack right now
on Nintendo Switch online with Nintendo
music.
Definitely happening.
Um cut content.
>> Okay. Cut content, guys.
Uh
You know, again, if you don't know the
history, you can look it up, but
so much
dungeons, medallions, the magic
was cut due to time back in the day, you
know.
We live in the day now where you can
release a game and then patch it for 5
years if you want. Back then, you
couldn't do that. And so, they had to
get Zelda out in November of '98, and so
I fully expect
Nintendo to execute on the original
vision, which will be new content for us
because of that. So, very exciting
there.
Um
we got to feed the Switch one owners,
okay?
155 million
switch one owners.
Roughly 25 million switch two owners.
The math is what's happening with those
130 million other people. You don't want
to leave them out in the cold,
especially when you have food that you
could give them, right? Which is The
Legend of Zelda. Also,
uh that's not how you promote the first
ever Zelda movie by saying, "Hey, we got
you 25 million. The other 130,
you know, you got to buy a switch two. I
don't know what to tell you." You can't
do that right now in this economy. I
think Nintendo knows that, especially
after a price hike.
Um so, you got to give something to
these switch one owners. Is it going to
be Twilight? Is it going to be Wind
Waker?
Um and again, it can't be
Twilight Princess on NSO because
GameCube is locked to the switch two.
So, you got to do something there.
Um and I'm excited for it, and I bet
that whatever it is, it will run a
little bit better on switch two, just
like Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 HD. It's the
same play from the same playbook that
Nintendo has ran for
decades, you know?
Um and then lastly,
Zelda merch everywhere. This is the
marketing runway, so to speak, to the
movie. It literally starts tomorrow.
>> All right.
Guys,
Stash just told you what it's going to
be.
It's going to be what it's going to be.
Listen to this guy. He gets a lot of
things right, whether he knows or not
doesn't know.
All right. Thank you so much, Stash.
>> Thank you. What up, baby?
>> And he had to pass the baton
to, of course, the $50 pizza man
himself.
>> [laughter]
>> The man that let me twist his nips.
Actually, I just did it. He don't know
if they'll let me.
He enjoyed it, though.
>> They're always offensive.
>> N64 Josh. All right, guys.
40th
anniversary direct.
>> Yes.
>> What are we doing? What's happening?
>> What are we doing?
The movie.
We're going to hear We're going to see
more about the movie.
Uh
part of me is wondering if the movie
doesn't lean into Ocarina of Time a
little bit and they're they're they're
kind of a bit tied together. I don't
know, but it's a great story and it
would be
That got me thinking.
What if the link that we're seeing is
young link?
And maybe they haven't even shown
potential casting for old link.
Like yeah, maybe. We'll have to see. Um
Of course, learning more about the game.
I I literally think I'm going to sit and
watch with my just my jaw on the floor
as we get to see this game come to life
how we've always like how we imagined it
when we were playing it back back in the
day.
It was uh
It was an incredibly special game back
then and I think we're going to
so many more people are going to get the
chance to to relive those just amazing
moments in beautiful HD wide screen
better soundtrack, all the above. Like
cannot wait. Um and how many times have
we seen like this game done in like
Unreal? You know, where it was like,
"Man, that like I I think it could
potentially live up to uh some of the
things that we've seen just the you
know, other developers
that do it until they get their uh
until they till they get told not to,
right? Um so, yeah, I really do expect
that. Um I like what Stash is saying a
lot about like giving something to
Switch. One It It feels like the time
for for Wind Waker. You know, if we look
back to like Mario's 35th anniversary,
that was a that was jam-packed full of
games. You had 3D World with Bowser's
Fury
and uh Mario 35. Like there was there
was just there was so much that they
were doing. They were doing events in
Mario Maker, right? So I think there's
the opportunity for
more than just what we can like that we
kind of already know about, right? And
who knows? Maybe there's also some uh
some statues, some ocarina, you know,
like I could see like the Master Sword
being, you know, like in the Temple of
Time as like as some merch, something
along those lines. Like I think they're
going to go pretty hard with this one.
And
seeing the console, the controllers, all
that stuff, it yeah, it's going to be
it's going to be one heck of a show. I
can't wait.
>> Ah, can't wait too, man. Well, thanks
for giving the predictions.
>> Of course. Of course.
>> happens next time we're around each
other. Maybe directs and us go together.
>> It may be. Yeah, that's the magic the
magic sauce.
>> All right, man. See you.
>> Later.
>> All right, but you didn't see this
coming. We got the ladies of the
Nintendo by podcast with the plus one.
Uh and uh
>> [laughter]
>> Hey, I mean, to be fair, Andres Restart
was originally the co-host of the show,
but
I had to get their thoughts as well.
Zelda 40th, anything you guys want to
see at all? Who wants to go first?
>> I'll go first.
>> Whatever Steve said is right.
>> Damn right.
>> Yep. Yep. Yep.
>> You're damn right. There we go.
>> Uh I'm just excited for Cameron. I know
Zelda's his favorite, so I think it's
going to be a good time in the in the
Bird household.
>> Yeah.
>> Um I definitely think we're going to see
new content. And I think I think they're
keeping the dungeons the same. We might
get a new dungeon,
but I don't think
that they're redoing the dungeons. Cuz I
think the dungeons make the game like
really they make it what it is you know
and it would change it too much into a
different game
but I think we we get new content with
like side stuff or story stuff.
>> Awesome. Well folks, that was the
ladies. You saw the men. Let us know
what your predictions are for Zelda's
40th anniversary down below.
