The Legend of Zelda: Will Nintendo Showcase Any News About the Much-Awaited Title in Its “February Direct”?

It’s almost February, and Nintendo fans are anticipating the Direct, but will it happen around the same time this year? 

In November 2022, Nintendo hosted its last showcase of the year featuring indie games. It was the last Nintendo Direct before they bid adieu, helping fans learn and understand the work of small-time developers. After all, they put in tons of hard work, and so their work needed to be recognized. Plus, fans enjoyed it thoroughly, adding multiple genre games to play for the holidays. 

But as time passed, their patience saw a quick exit as they raised questions about the next Nintendo Direct. The Japanese giant announced The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of Kingdom for May, and they wanted to get a better look at it. Apart from that, rumors swirled claiming the remake of a 2001 classic, which was one of the best games of its time. 

Can Nintendo regain the long-lost love with a promised February showcase? 

With only a few days left in January, like every year, Nintendo fans have started counting the days for the Direct. Well, there are briefly a few reasons for that, and we need to understand them one by one. 

DIVE DEEPER: What Nintendo Fans Should Expect From The Upcoming ‘The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom’?

First, the biggest reason fans are anticipating the Nintendo Direct is that the franchise would feature footage of the upcoming Legend Of Zelda. The game is claimed to be the sequel to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and might become the game of the year of fans.

Second, the Japanese giant promised Pikmin 4 for this year, so there is a high chance that they might tease it a little. And last but not the least, rumors have surfaced on the internet claiming the revival of Advance Wars, a 2001 classic. But the game once received massive backlash as it was released around the time of the 9/11 attacks, leading fans to question its revival. 

However, Nintendo shut down the rumors in September, promising that the game was never canceled and that they might drop it soon. So, if you’re the ‘OG’ Nintendo fan, you need to keep an eye on the February Direct. 

For the past four years, the Japanese maestro has been consistently hosting the first Direct in February. So, keeping that in mind, the topic has started to gain traction. But we all know Nintendo and its goofy nature to announce things last minute.
