The 40th Anniversary So Far
The 40th anniversary has also centered on Ocarina of Time's return, as covered in Nintendo Spotlights The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Rebuilt As A Switch 2 Exclusive. Demand for that release was covered in The Legend of Zelda: Nintendo Says It Underestimated Demand For The 40th Anniversary Switch 2 And Ocarina.
