This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma, Trev, and Kirk celebrate all things Legend of Zelda! That’s right, the iconic series just turned 40.

On last week’s show, we chatted about Mario Tennis Fever. This week, we kick things off with a look at the best games from the long history of the Legend of Zelda. It’s hard to believe it’s been 40 years since the original game debuted in Japan. Will Nintendo celebrate? What would be like to see next? We give our thoughts!

We also delve into the Virtual Boy, with the Online Classics physical release happening this past week. What do we think of the system, the setup, and the games?

Nintendo also surprised us last week with a few announcements, including a Switch 2 Edition for Xenoblade Chronicles X and a new Pokémon release to look forward to. Plus, we have our usual Kirk’s Corner and the games that we’re playing. Enjoy the show!

It’s an exciting time for Nintendo fans, with this being the first full year of the Switch 2. There’s plenty to look forward to – and we certainly look forward to reporting on all things Nintendo each and every week in 2026.
