40 years of Zelda still feels a little unreal.

Zelda is actually a pretty important franchise for us at Software Notion. We're just two people working on these projects in our spare time, and one of the things that started all of this was building a companion app for Breath of the Wild.

Over the years, that turned into quite a collection:

* Breath Companion
* Tears Companion
* Awakening Companion
* Wind Companion
* Twilight Companion
* EoW Companion
* Skyward Companion
* Legend Companion

The basic idea has always stayed the same: help people who enjoy exploring and completing everything.

Interactive maps, checklists, collectibles, armor, detailed information, progress tracking and lots of other little things we've added over the years, with the apps also working completely offline once installed.

With the 40th anniversary celebrations and Tuesday's Direct coming up, we thought this would be a nice time to celebrate again with the community.

We're giving away free unlock codes for our Zelda Companion apps.

We'll release them in waves so hopefully bots don't grab everything immediately. I'll add the details / link below.

We also make a few Zelda-inspired 3D prints ourselves, so I've brought back our *ZELDA40* discount for the occasion (currently only shipping within germany due to EU laws and import tax of the US).

But more importantly: I'm really curious what Tuesday will bring.

**If you could choose one Zelda game for us to build a new Companion for, or one feature we absolutely need to add to an existing app, what would it be?**

Happy 40th anniversary, Zelda.  
It's dangerous to go alone.
