FAQ

What is a Nintendo Direct?

A Nintendo Direct is a pre-recorded video presentation (Today's is approximately ~30m in length) to make game announcements and provide fans with general updates directly from Nintendo.

What are they going to show?

According to Nintendo, today's presentation is focused on delivering "a variety of The Legend of Zelda related information. " What if I can't watch the Nintendo Direct due to work/school/etc.?

• If you want the latest news the moment it's announced, we highly recommendd joining our Discord server and chatting in the #nintendo-direct channel we've opened up for this event.

• If you want a spoiler-free experience, we will edit in a link to a VOD replay (once it's available). This will take you directly to the video so you don't accidentally see any trailers if you visit the Nintendo YouTube page directly. Just don't scroll down! --VOD LINK--

There WILL be spoilers here on the subreddit, so watch the video first.

If you see any posts that should actually be here in the MegaThread, please do us a favor and hit the report button.

Our SOP for posts is as follows:

• We will allow one post per announcement.
  • The post we allow may not necessarily be the one that was submitted first. We typically will receive about 15 of essentially the exact same post in the span of about 60 seconds. From those, we will select the one that has the best title and links directly to the original source when available.
• Commentary on the announcement(s) should take place either in this thread or on the related separate announcement post. Each person's specific opinion does not need its own post.
• Announcements ONLY related to content releasing on the Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 will be allowed. Content regarding the The Legend of Zelda film will be removed.
