Nintendo Direct Announced For February 17th!
Posted on February 16 2021 by John Piland
Striking out of the blue, Nintendo has dropped a big announcement that its first large-scale Nintendo Direct since September 2019 will take place tomorrow, February 17th.
The Direct, set for 2 PM Pacific Time, 5 PM Eastern Time, will feature about 50 minutes focusing on “available games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and games coming to Nintendo Switch in the first half of 2021.”
Those hoping for news on the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may have to wait, as a game of that scale is likely one Nintendo would want to release as a Holiday title, much less mere months after the first proper news since its reveal almost two years prior. Of course, there is always the possibility for a surprise reveal.
Fortunately, as it will cover “available games”, there is the potential for the rumored DLC for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. What’s more, if Zelda‘s 35th anniversary is to be anything like Mario‘s, there’s a chance we could see a number of Zelda titles / collections releasing in the coming months.
Are you excited for this Nintendo Direct? What, if any, Zelda-related news do you think we’ll get? Let us know in the comments below!

After years of going to Zelda Dungeon for guides or the latest news on the series, John achieved their dream when they joined the writing team in 2019; John can hardly believe how long it’s been. A librarian, he loves meticulously arranging his library of Zelda games and collectibles. After what felt like an eternity of waiting for Tears of the Kingdom, John looks forward to the future of the Zelda franchise with enthusiasm, whether that’s the upcoming movie, a new spin-off/remake, or the next big game.
