Nintendo promised about 50 minutes of information about a slew of new games, including about the company’s Smash Bros. series. Beyond that, Nintendo was pretty mum about what to expect. But fans immediately started speculating wildly about what could be coming, including plenty of people hoping for news about a sequel to Breath Of The Wild from the Legend of Zelda series.

Fans were extremely excited that Directs were back, if only because it gives them something to look forward to in the middle of a pandemic.
