 Hey, so a couple weeks ago We were talking a lot about some rumors reports and other things that were kind of floating out there about the Zelda 35th anniversary in fact We did an entire podcast dedicated to the 35th anniversary because Zelda means that much to me I could literally talk about Zelda all day every day, but there's a lot of other things that interest me So why not kind of spread the wealth around and give other things some attention? Now look, I don't know Exactly what is coming for the Zelda 35th anniversary. Have I heard some murmurings? Have I read the reports and the rumors do I have an inkling of what's to come? Yes, and this video is actually going to talk like basically break down what we've gotten in prior Yes prior Zelda anniversaries Well, you got most recently in the Mario 35th anniversary And how this sets us up based on the other rumors and reports and real Expectations for what Nintendo is going to deliver for the Zelda 35th anniversary And when are they going to deliver the goods even though some of the goods already began with Skyward Sword HD Now I'm giving away a copy of Monster Hunter Rise and 220 other Nintendo switch Xbox or PlayStation gift cards I've talked about this in every video, but you know what? I'm deciding right now. I'm going to sweeten that pot We're going to toss in an additional 100 or 99 dollar in the case of Nintendo switch Gift card in there for either e-shop for PlayStation Network or Xbox So if you guys are interested in that that's massive prize giveaways happening down below Go check out the description of the pin comment going to be updating it with those prizes today If you've already entered before don't worry. You're still entered although there might be additional entries You can get now. All right, let's get into this stuff here. So Here's what we know happened for the Zelda 25th anniversary So first off they did release ocarina of time 3d They did release Skyward Sword as a brand new game back then they added links awakening to the virtual console on 3ds They added four swords as a free download back on the dsi They released a wee gold remote. They did a zelda concert tour member symphony of the goddess They did ocarina of time soundtrack CD through club nintendo. They released Hyrule Historia So that was a really important game for any historians that care about zelda lore And then they announced most of this although ocarina of time 3d was already previously announced at e3 On june 11th in 2011. So they did make this announcement after You know after the actual february anniversary So just important to note about that that There's a pattern here nintendo did not announce this on the actual anniversary For the 30th anniversary of zelda They dedicated e3 entirely to breath of the wild and made brief mentions of the anniversary But this wasn't really the anniversary blowout, but e3 2016 Which was the 30th anniversary was entirely about breath of the wild They released art and artifacts in japan Later renamed to hyrule graphics when it came to the west and released on february 21st 2017 aka the 31st anniversary technically Added skyward sword to weu virtual console on september 1st released a zelda music collection on september 28th in japan only They did more concerts more symphony of the goddess specifically in japan They added a 3ds menu theme They did eight bit link amiibo plus other amiibo like to link and link from ocarina of time They released a hyrule encyclopedia which included an updated timeline They also had breath of the wild masterworks come out and technically by the end of that given fiscal year They did release breath of the wild they announced all of this on september 1st except for obviously the stuff that happened at e3 So again Announced later in the year, but they didn't do it on the actual anniversary of zelda All right, let's get to mario's 35th This should be really fresh in people's minds because we're just wrapping up that this year or this month So mario 35 they released paper mario mario 3d world plus bowser's fury mario bros 35 and mario 3d all stars They also released mario kart live home circuit. They released a game and watch Edition that had mario themed to it. They released more mario lego sets They did cat mario and cat peach amiibo They released a mario red switch They did, uh, super mario all stars itself was added to the snes app Obviously before I mentioned they did 3d all stars as well as a separate release They did mario 64 basketball shoes because that's the thing I would have loved as a kid Splatoon 2 They did a splatoon 2 themed splatfest for mario animal crossing mario items tons of stickers keychain shirts hats So much merchant it's impossible to even get into it all But there was a lot of mario 35th merch partnership with cold stone creamery for a super mario birthday cake batter bash Mario themed jenga jacks. It's a me action figure pins for club nintendo members. I mean my nintendo members Really interesting. They're adding physical items back into there Uh, so yeah, that is what they factually did for mario's 35th anniversary. That's a lot of stuff There's a lot more merch and little side things like that I didn't get into because they're I mean honestly the list for mario's 35th anniversary is like So long it would go way off the screen. It's it's huge. So Let's talk about now about zelda's 35th anniversary because again A anniversary date came by that wasn't I didn't have an announcement technically mario's 35th anniversary Also went by without nintendo talking about anything So to be clear there is a kind of a pattern here where nintendo doesn't talk about the anniversaries Until they get to a date that they're ready to announce everything That doesn't mean certain announcements won't come ahead of time paper mario for the 35th anniversary or green of time 3d for the 25th anniversary of zelda was announced before the anniversary so Having scoured sword hd and the scoured sword joy con already announced really doesn't deter Them from having the 35th anniversary of zelda In fact, it doesn't even mean they need to wait till those games come out to talk about the 35th anniversary of zelda Orc her time 3d was a massive port at the time to help push 3ds sales And they still dropped all the news for the 35th or i'm sorry the 25th anniversary of zelda at e3 Before that game came out so scoured sword comes out july 16th If nintendo's at e3 that seems to be a good timing for them to drop that news So sometime this summer i think for either june july or august nintendo is going to drop a 35th anniversary news dump on us for zelda i think they're planning for e3 if they're going to participate in the digital event So we find out that nintendo is participating in the e3 planned digital event Yes, there's going to be a ton of zelda goodness there. That's what i expect anyways at least right now for time tables All right, so we know we're getting scoured sword, right? We know we're getting the joy con So what else could we expect well? Twilight princess and the windbreaker hd coming over has been put out there by some other people and i think is a pretty obvious As a simple easy to do ports of we u games now Here's the thing I think unlike skyward sword hd that's going to be released on its own these games have already been released in hd Once there's not really going to be much differences coming over here except minus the game pad for the inventory Maybe minus the first person mode in the windbreaker hd. We'll have to see but I think they're going to package these together for 60 bucks. I think it's going to be a twin $60 pack So this you know you could argue this is their 3d all-stars sort of a thing But here's the thing remember that had two all-star things. I think they're going to be another Combo pack this time majora's mass in ocarina of time 3d in hd I think they're going to hdify those games and that's what grezzo has been working on And they're going to release a twin pack of that as well for 60 dollars and obviously they will get these These you know releases spaced out skyward sword a couple months the next one a couple months the next one And they're going to go all the way through march of next year. I also think they're going to release At least by march 31st of 2022 breath of the wild two So that's kind of their big game slate there. So, you know a port combo pack another hd-ified port combo pack Skyward sword hd on its own since it's never been re-released At least you know in this form and then obviously Breath of the wild two now There is more that I expect beyond all that because as you know with marty 35th They went all out and the reason I think they're going to go all out was zelda too is zelda's more popular And it's never been and nintendo likes money Right, I think we all agree nintendo likes money so There's going to be a themed console of some type maybe Or at least more themed joycons around breath of the wild I expect that to come out Maybe not this holiday and obviously switch pro could end up having something to say about all of this But I expect a themed something sort of switch or something sort of switch joycons in addition to the skyward sword ones Coming out by the end of march 31st of 2022 So there might even be a post holiday release for that to help keep switch sales soaring Just like with the mario red edition switch Uh, I think let's see here. I got a whole list of stuff here So something music related is going to happen because they've done something music related at all of the zelda anniversaries I don't think there's going to be any concerts although they could do like pokemon 25 did like that That digital concert thing that could be something they look into a digital concert I think it's more likely that they just do a music collection that you can get through club nintendo or something like that Uh, so taking like the best of breath of the wild ocarina time try that princess old school zelda kind of doing like a giant 50 song Um disc or something that you're able to get or even a digital code or whatever through club nintendo Uh, nintendo does like doing books for zelda's anniversary So some sort of new book based on breath of the wild too just like they did for breath of the wild I think that's to be expected. Uh, here's one that we haven't really talked much about zelda lego So the wall has been torn down because of the 35th anniversary of mario because of the Really well selling mario lego sets It's very clear the wall is down between lego and nintendo opening up all their franchises to lego in some way Now I know they wanted to do something unique with mario and maybe they find something unique to do with zelda But honestly just being able to have zelda lego sets at all would be huge I think that is something we are going to get I think it's leaving money on the table Not to have it now that they have a partnership. So yeah, I expect zelda lego We're obviously going to get themed content in animal crossing Maybe even in splatoon too So uh, that's something to look forward to there. We're going to get a bunch of merch shoes watches hats shirts There's going to be a ton of merch and nice to talk about uh, not all of it will be revealed at their 35th anniversary event A lot of it will be spread out throughout the year for individual companies. Um Let's see here, uh something for switch online. I don't know what it what it's going to be Uh, we we've talked before about a potential zelda 35 like the mario 35 Well, I mean it could it could be a dungeon maker like a simple like taking the dungeon maker From lynx awakening that they did in 2019 and expanding upon it and giving us something concrete there Now these are just my thoughts on what I expect for the zelda 35th anniversary based on rumors reports and other anniversaries in the past Uh, I'm actually wondering like what do you guys want for the zelda 35th anniversary? We haven't talked about it in a couple weeks. So I figured you know what? We're gonna keep bringing it up here and then because This is the 35th anniversary of zelda and zelda means a lot to me A lot to me I mean, I got shelves and action figures and and and theme systems Uh, the the I got the ding to theme 2ds the acronym of time 2ds for crying out loud like I'm I love zelda So I'm gonna keep talking about it. Uh, until we finally get to official announcements And then I'll probably gush and and applaud nintendo for their efforts I did it the same thing for mario 35 last year too, by the way I really praise nintendo for what they were doing for the 35th anniversary I think they're gonna go just as big this time around. Remember, we got a lot of mario games Relatively in a short time. We got a lot of mario games Technically, you know, he doesn't end because we have mario tennis But I think that's just a normal standard release for them. So anyways, you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments below I know some people maybe was hoping I was gonna say something about some more classic games coming back You know zelda 2 Legend of zelda into the past it's possible. They do some sort of collection pack like that But I just I think with everything else that they're possibly doing there just wasn't time But that's just me. You let me know you think what down in the comments below What collections you want to see what games you want to see brought back Re-emphasized you think breath of the loud two is coming Do you think switch pros gonna have anything to do do you think switch pros even real let alone Does that have anything to do with what's happening here? So I love you guys Thank you so much for tuning in and I'll catch each and every one of you guys in the next video
