Precedent has already been set for 35th anniversaries.  It's gonna be LoZ/Zelda II Game & Watch.

actually the precedent is:

-an 8 bit online multiplayer competition

-a Game and watch

-a trilogy collection

-a Wii U rerelease+bonus quest

 

[Reed Rothchild | 9,516]

I just saw the Direct is 50 minutes long.  Good Lord, that's one way to end the drought.

Don’t forget the pin set lol

I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of any of the 2D overhead Zelda games in the same style as the Link's Awakening Remake.  I enjoyed that remake so much, I don't care if they are full price.

A revamp of the Legend of Zelda wristwatch would be wild

How about an online mmorpg of the 8-bit BOTW prototype

I mean hey, say what you will, I'd honestly really like a Zelda pin set in the same style as the Mario ones they're doing.

Then again, I'd eat up just about anything Zelda related, haha

[RH | 4,898]

I know I already posted my hopeful guess, but realistically I bet it is something like the pin set (cheap swag, but cool) possibly an 8-bit online game (might be fun) and three new Smash Bros characters from the Zelda universe. Something like Windwaker Link, a Goron and one other.

Wind Waker Link is already in the game in the form of Toon Link, haha. I doubt they're introduce that many Zelda characters in to the game anyway, since the second Fighter's pass only has like 2 or 3 slots left that haven't been revealed yet, and the fighters they've added in the first and second passes have all come from wildly varying IPs.

I'm not sure Capcom own any stake in the Oracle games or Minish Cap. Why would they? Pretty much all the assets are tied to a 100% Nintendo property.

Stay tuned for 50 more minutes of japanese people talking about god damn smash brothers

I’m outside the supermarket right now looking for some Zelda Mt Dew Gamefuel.

Hyrulian Punch and Tropical Triforce were sold out, had to settle for Gannon Grape

[DefaultGen | 5,401]

Just saw the latest leaks, they’re going to re-do the Year of Luigi.

Not gonna lie, I legitimately love the original Game Fuel (aka Citrus Cherry soda/pop, not the new stuff). I research it every year hoping it will come back.

Gannon Grape! The other proposed name for VideoGameSage.

I didn't realize Game Fuel was its own soda until maybe a couple years ago. I always thought it was just branded Mountain Dew!

You joke but I tossed around having purpleganon.com for like a good 10 minutes. Like tossed it around hard enough that I own the domain, and put something up on it.

I still maintain we should have gone that way!

Direct predictions:

BotW 2 update

Zelda port(s)

Mario Golf

Pokemon Snap update

Useless Smash bullshit

Useless AC bullshit

Useless Splatoon bullshit

Useless Lego bullshit

Theme park overview

2-3 3rd party ports

New first party reveal

Some Indy game available now

Updates on major 3rd party titles

[Brickman | 3,983]

I think it will be something similar to the Mario game bundle. Maybe A link to the Past, OoT and skyward sword?

In terms of other stuff in the direct, I want SMT V info! I don’t care about anything else!

[Darth Vader | 154]

I think there will be something with Wind Waker. Seeing as though they keep moving stuff from the Wii U over to Switch. WW HD on Switch. Possibly a compilation like 3D All-Stars. In that case I would say OOT, WW HD, and Skyward Sword.

Hmmm. I see another TP rerelease before Skyward Sword. That's really a somewhat gimmicky wimote game, and even though the switch controllers are motion controllers, it just doesn't seem the same. That game seems best left for Wii.

[Webhead123 | 675]

My guess for All-Stars is Wind Waker HD/Twilight Princess HD/Skyward Sword HD. I think there's a slim chance that we could get OoT instead of Skyward but I think the latter is the more likely candidate, simply based on some nebulous rumors I seem to recall drifting around.

[Sumez | 2,935]

Retail (or at least paid digital) release of Mario 35 with a greatly expanded concept and multiple game styles. Coming out when the current free version ends.

Purpleganon.com 's super cool on mobile

Also yay direct tonight. Zelda stuff, fingers crossed.
