Nintendo has announced that it will stream full pre-recorded concerts for The Legend of Zelda series and its Splatoon franchise next month. Both concerts were set to be a part of Nintendo Live events in December of last year and this month, too, in Tokyo, Japan, but these events were canceled over safety concerns, as reported by <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-will-be-streaming-zelda-and-splatoon-concerts-on-youtube-next-month/"><em>VideoGamesChronicle</em></a>. Now, everyone will be able to watch these concerts when they hit the official Nintendo YouTube channel next month.
More specifically, The Legend of Zelda orchestra concert will go live on Friday, February 9, at 5 a.m. PT/8 a.m. ET, and the Splatoon 3 Deep Cut concert will be posted on February 10.
Here’s what Nintendo has to say about each:
