This February marks a 40-year milestone for one of the most influential Nintendo series to grace our consoles. The Legend of Zelda is deep in its Switch era as of 2026, with games like Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Echoes of Wisdom leading the charge. There's also an official Legend of Zelda movie adaptation in the works, projected for a 2027 debut. No matter how far we stray from the early days of the Famicom and NES, it's clear that Link's adventures are demonstrably timeless.
Perhaps that's why Zelda games come around like clockwork. Whether it's a 3D entry, a top-down endeavor, or one of multiple spin-offs, we usually get one 'Legend of Zelda' branded title released every year. These are hard to predict, but since the reveal of Lego's upcoming Ocarina of Time set, rumors have swirled concerning an Ocarina of Time remake.
