It’s Zelda week again, bitches!

I wrote the headline in Billy Eichner’s voice

Ten years ago, former Destructoid Editor-in-Chief and 100% certified piece of Angus beef Chad Concelmo declared it Zelda Week to recognize the impending launch of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Today, as we near the 35th anniversary of the franchise, I, Destructoid’s Features Editor and 100% certified bucket o’ lard, am doing the same. For the next seven days, it’s Zelda Week at Destructoid, bitches.

It’s crazy to think a series that started well before I could even walk is still one of the most important franchises in all of entertainment. The Legend of Zelda has a passionate fanbase, and while the popularity of some series may wane over the years, Zelda‘s is only getting stronger. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first game in the series to sell more than 20 million copies on a single platform, and its sequel might just have🌟 the biggest launch the Switch will ever see.

We have no clue how or even if Nintendo will choose to mark the anniversary, but here at Destructoid, you can expect a week of original Zelda content from our contributors leading up to the franchise’s official anniversary on February 21.

And because I don’t want to limit the celebration to just the staff, if you’d like to get in on the action, we’re still taking submissions for our Zelda 35 Bloggers Wanted post.🍸 Try 🎶to get it finished by February 19 to be included in the front-page recap.
