Everything announced at Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct
Can you believe it? Link (the green one) is 40 this year, yet his boundless enthusiasm for adventure still hasn't waned. My boundless enthusiasm, meanwhile, waned decades back, so it's clearly something in the Hyrule air. ANYWAY, to celebrate the Zelda series' 40th anniversary, Nintendo has released a special Direct showcase (the first of two planned for this week ), featuring a "variety of The Legend of Zelda-related information".

Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 2 independent outlets
2 independent outlets carried this — Eurogamer, Polygon, Ign and Nintendo Life. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.
It clears the bar without leading strongly on any one factor. A middling score is not a claim that the story is important — only that nothing about it is weak.
StandardStandard, because two or more independent orgs carry it, the subject was identified from the text, and it scores 0.45 against a bar of 0.50.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroborationleads | 0.35 | 0.61 | +0.215 47% | 2 distinct tier-1/2 orgs, counted once each: Eurogamer, Polygon, Ign and Nintendo Life. Saturates at 5. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.82 | +0.204 45% | Eurogamer is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.18 | +0.036 8% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Link (the green one) is 40 this year, yet his boundless enthusiasm for adventure still hasn't waned. My boundless enthusiasm, meanwhile, waned decades back, so it's clearly something in the Hyrule air. ANYWAY, to celebrate the Zelda series' 40th anniversary, Nintendo has released a special Direct showcase (the first of two planned for this week ), featuring a "variety of The Legend of Zelda-related information". And so this week's dual Directs kick off.
