  • i kinda see a pattern though. New 3D Zelda (BOTW) -> New 2D Zelda (Awakening)-> Zelda Port (Skyword) New 3D Zelda (TOTK) -> New 2D Zelda (Wisdom) -> Zelda Port (WW/TW??)
  • I literatly want them so bad, even if they don’t even get remastered at all
  • @pokemonduck
    I don't think Nintendo wants to devalue Zelda like Sonic and Mega Man have been for example with every game having a million ports/rereleases
  • @DafyddBrooks
    Honestly, Nintendo know that Wind Waker and Twilight princess are their Aces and Kings (amongst other games they have that are considered gold standard) and so they are just holding those cards till the moment is right because they know it will sell well :)
  • I’ve given up on waiting for them. There have been rumors that they are “around the corner” for years.
  • @Irishlozcat
    I played through a lot of 3D zeldas lately, and I found Windwaker on the gamecube to be a bit frustrating despite having a beautiful timeless art-style. I found out after the fact that the Wii U version adds a lot of QoL features like the fast sail, a better pictograph system, modified Triforce quest, etc. That being said, I don't want to buy a wii U just to play Wind Waker HD so it would be a big help if they re-release that version as a port to Switch!
  • @Alirian2
    Porting from the Gamecube/Wii U architecture to the Switch architecture is pretty difficult. Switch games have variable resolutions based on whether you play docked or handheld. The older games architecture don't support variable resolution, so they have to be partially rewritten on the backend. That being said, YOU'RE SWIMMING IN MONEY NINTENDO! GIVE US THE DAMN PORTS! Lol
  • @nourata.5893
    Wii U was a good console you could play every main line Zelda up until BOTW. Still have mine
  • And what about a Star Fox Adventure, Star Fox Assault, F-Zero GX and Kid Icarus Uprising Remastered since they never got any port yet? Because what the point to do another port for Twilight Princess seriously? The game was born on the Gamecube, then got a Wii port and then a HD Wii U port and now it ask for another port on the Switch. Is people are so dumb for have forget this game and all his content already like Princess Zelda be possessed by Ganondorf at the end of the game for the final battle first phase, Link who can change in wolf form when he want after he got the Master Sword some time later after complete the third dungeon (Water Temple), Ilia who lost her memories when Link manage to found her after she have disappear and more or what? What it will change to have a Switch port? The gameplay and story don't going to change an inch so what people really expect about it?🤦‍♂
  • @Sam_T2000
    I was surprised they didn’t release them in 2022, after TOTK had been delayed 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • @Enchurito
    Wrong. Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are not the only two 3d Zelda games we are missing on Switch. We are missing Triforce Heroes, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, Ocarina of Time 3d, Majora's Mask 3d,
  • I have a feeling they are saving them to pad out the release schedule of the Switch's successor. Considering Tears of the Kingdom released relatively recently, there likely won't be a new 3D Zelda for a good while so saving these two for the next system could be good hold overs until the next major Zelda release.
  • yo i miss wind waker so much, i've been wanting to play for a long time now
  • @itsadribtch_
    Twilight Princess is literally the next one being ported to the Switch right after Echoes of Wisdom. Many leakers have said that the game exists and that they don't know why Nintendo hasn't released it yet. So I think TP is the next one to arrive to the Switch. Not to mention there's a game Nintendo has been working on with the codename "Edward" which is the name of the main character in the Twilight Saga. 🤭💛
  • @IIBeefII
    Switch Pro All prior Pokémon releases All prior Zelda All prior Mario They should be a testament to their own IP and please their communities. Instead, they have historically done the opposite.
  • @TrickyThe0ne
    They took so long I bought a GameCube to play my copies.
  • @_sparrowhawk
    "Where are these games?" You JUST mentioned that Echoes of Wisdom is coming out in a couple months. Obviously they're not going to release 2 Zelda games in one year so... maybe next year.
  • @TheMouseKeepers
    Holding them to make a remastered/remake for switch 2 you'll see.
  • @DDKoD
    And there’s theory 4: The rumors were fake and the ports just simply don’t exist.
