‘It’s not fair!’ Zelda’s 35th birthday bummer showed us Nintendo’s favorite child

Link pulling sword from stone.

This past weekend marked the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda landing on NES. Fans have anticipated the milestone for a good year thanks to last year’s Mario birthday blowout which brought players plenty of exciting releases including Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. If Nintendo went that hard for the plumber’s 35th birthday, imagine what it would do for the most influential franchise in all of gaming.

Well, not much, as it turns out. Rather than giving Zelda the same red carpet treatment, this year’s celebration is far more modest. An HD re-release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming alongside some flashy new joy-cons, but that’s all for now.

We first saw Hades 2 last year when it was announced, but it has yet to receive a release date. We know it will first be coming to early access, just like the first game, but the only timeframe we have is the second quarter of 2024. It appears that Supergiant might be closing in on that date, however, as you can now sign up for the first playtest and experience the game even before it comes to early access. This technical test is a said to be a major step toward early access to resolve any technical problems before a wider audience can play. Here's how you can sign up to be part of a small team selected to play the game before anyone else.
