What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

Nobody besides Eurogamer has reported this yet — we’re keeping an eye out for confirmation. The Legend of Zelda came out in 1986 and never left: that's 40 years of turning up in every conversation about it. The previous The Legend of Zelda trailer came out one day before this story. You can follow this without buying the whole story.
