The legend of zelda twilight princess hd switch

Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct brought all sorts of exciting announcements. The Legend of Zelda series was one area of focus for the broadcast, with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity receiving an expansion pass and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD being announced. Series producer Eiji Aonuma also confirmed that more details regarding The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s unnamed sequel will be revealed later this year. Some Zelda fans expressed disappointment regarding the Direct, hoping for more Zelda content to celebrate the 35th anniversary. However, according to journalist Andy Robinson of Video Games Chronicle (VGC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are “100% coming this year” to Switch. This would make sense as both games are among the remaining few Wii U titles yet to make their way to the Nintendo Switch.

Is this likely to happen?

Robinson has a good track record when it comes to the rumor mill. Last year, VGC reported that Super Mario 3D All-Stars existed in March, way before its announcement in September. If this is anything to go off, we may have more Zelda content on Switch than we originally expected. The remasters of The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are likely to happen on Switch because they’re probably already raring to go.

In my personal opinion, I believe that Nintendo is probably wanting to wait until after March 31, 2021, as that is when all the Mario 35th anniversary celebrations end. It probably doesn’t want to shift focus onto another franchise just yet, but hopefully fans have more to be looking forward to later in the year. Also, next week will see Pokémon celebrating its 25th anniversary on Feb. 27.

Although it may not be what you wanted, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD seems like a perfect fit for the anniversary celebrations. The game tells the origin story of key events, such as the creation of the Master Sword and Hyrule itself. If you weren’t a fan of the Wii version’s motion controls, Nintendo has confirmed that the game will also have button controls.

  • Zelda: Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD Switch Ports Rumored

Rumors suggest that Nintendo Switch HD ports of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess will be announced in September.

Industry insider Jeff Grubb claims that Nintendo Switch ports of The Legend of Zelda titles The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess will be revealed during a September Nintendo Direct event. Released in 2002 and 2006 respectively, the two titles have yet to receive updated rereleases on Nintendo's latest console. Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on Switch have both been rumored for some time, and now Jeff Grubb claims that both ports will finally be announced next month.

2021 marked the 35th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda franchise, and Nintendo has gone to great lengths to celebrate the beloved fantasy adventure series and update its older entries. Over the last several years Nintendo has released HD ports of classic Zelda games which maintain each title's original gameplay while upgrading graphics for modern hardware. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD came to Nintendo Switch in July 2021, for example, with the Wii title receiving enhanced graphics and a new control scheme to fit the Switch's Joy-Con controllers. Last year the beloved Nintendo 64 Zelda games came to Nintendo Switch Online, too, though Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are still absent from the console.

In a video posted by YouTube channel Jeff Grubb's Game Mess (via GamingBolt), industry insider Jeff Grubb claims that Nintendo will soon announce Nintendo Switch ports of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. The insider is confident that a Nintendo Direct event will be held in September, and this digital showcase will apparently be used to announce the two ports. Grubb claims that the Direct will be heavily focused on The Legend of Zelda in general, with the Switch ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess potentially being accompanied by news about the anticipated sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Jeff Grubb Says Wind Waker & Twilight Princess Will Journey Onto Switch

Many fans believe that the delay of Zelda: BOTW 2makes Nintendo Switch ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess even more likely. The series' 2017 installment Breath of the Wild was wildly praised for its open-ended gameplay and world design, but a direct sequel to the project has sadly been delayed into 2023. This leaves Nintendo with a large gap between new Legend of Zelda releases, and Switch ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess can easily fill this void if they release this year or early next year.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are both wildly different in terms of art style and gameplay. Both titles have left a definite mark on the franchise, however, and fans have clamored to see both adventures ported to the Nintendo Switch. While these rumors have not been confirmed, Jeff Grubb claims that Switch ports of both Legend of Zelda titles will be announced in September during a Nintendo Direct showcase.
