Typical. Everyone ignores massive potholes until they've gotten really bad.

Jeff Grubb's been riding this WW/TP on Switch forever and he's been wrong about it before. You'd think after years of false Nintendo rumors fans should just believe it when they see it.

If he is guessing or speculating he can be wrong, but he is almost 100% if not 100% when he hears from his trusted sources. He’s never been told WW and TP were going to be in a specific direct like he has been told this time

The Legend of Zelda: OOT Did It Better Collection

A collection celebrating the pair of games that sit in BOTW’s shadow, now on the Nintendo Switch family of systems!
 
TP/WWHD does nothing for me, I already have them on Wii U. I've played both of them so many times. I just want to see Botw2.

Yeah BotW 2 was pure speculation.

I don‘t see them revealing two new Zelda games and not even mention BOTW2. Even when it only is 'we‘ll have a trailer/dedicated Direct at a later date' type of thing.

If no BOTW2 Trailer this year I don‘t see that game releasing in the first half of next year.
 
Tbt to when everyone thought we’d get a Zelda 35th Direct like the Mario one…. Rip

Daily reminder that in The Wind Waker, Ganondorf doesn't want to kill Link & Zelda, despite beating the living shit out of Link before he gets his part of the Triforce and I still wonder what could've happened if he succeeded to restore the old Hyrule. What would've became of Zelda and Link ?
 
Hoping that it's true this is where WW on Switch finally gets announced. Been itching to go sailing on the Great Sea again recently.

What if instead of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD we're getting 2 mash-up games, Twilight Waker and Wind Princess, that mix up the artstyles so that now Twilight Princess is cel shaded and Wind Waker has the "adult" art-style.

I call my girlfriend the wind princess because... You know... she's able to produce a lot of that
I can already see the plot.

A mention and no trailer once again would be quite something.
 
I am still surprise people forget Skyward Sword runs at 60. People are making it out like WW/TP are PS5 games that cannot run at above 30

SWITCHUM’S NINTENDO DIRECT PREDICTIONS

Direct will air September 14, with an announcement the morning prior.

Spotlight #1: The Direct opens with a trailer for Metroid Prime HD - a glorious look into a gorgeous recreation of the original Metroid Prime. After the trailer ends, Takahashi says that he will be your guide for this Nintendo Direct, and reiterates that you just saw Metroid Prime HD. He assures you that MP4 development is proceeding smoothly, and that more details will be shared on the title in 2023.

Headlines #1: This set of headlines includes several third-party games, including an overview trailer for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. Also includes a look at the Golf update for Nintendo Switch Sports.

Spotlight #2: Tomodachi World trailer. A successor to the 3DS’ Tomodachi Life, this game expands upon its predecessor in many meaningful ways, with more ways to customize Miis (like Miitopia) and more interactions between Miis. Same-sex relationships are finally possible in the world of Tomodachi, and this can be seen in the trailer. Takahashi asks what you thought of that, and leads into more headlines.

Headlines #2: More third-party games. Also, a trailer for the Mariokart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes DLC is revealed as well.

Spotlight #3: GB/GBA added to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Shows some games coming to the service, with only around 10 available at launch. A future lineup is revealed, with more updates promised for the near future.

Spotlight #4: We are led into a new spotlight right away, with the lights going dark. Here’s a “surprise” announcement: Mario + Luigi: Over the Moon! Nintendo has revived the so-called “defunct” Mario + Luigi series for a sixth original adventure on Nintendo Switch! This adventure will take the heroic pair to the far reaches of the Mushroom Galaxy.

Headlines: Third party games! Kid Icarus Uprising is shown off here, leaving Famiboards to wonder why it did not get a Spotlight of its own.

Spotlight #5: Eiji Aonuma appears with a Zelda segment. First, take a look at The Legend of Zelda: Destiny Duology, which contains the Wii U versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on one cartridge! These will be releasing in November 2022. Aonuma also takes the time to share that he is very excited for people to try out certain Zelda titles for the first time with the addition of GB/GBA in Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Finally, he thanks us for our patience for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He shares a short trailer with us, which gives 30 seconds of new footage and a name: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Eternity. After the trailer is shown, Aonuma reappears and asks what you thought. As a final announcement, please be sure to tune into an upcoming Direct dedicated to Echoes of Eternity, planned for October 2022.

Back to Takahashi, who thanks us for tuning in and reassured us that there are more games in development than what they’ve shared today.

Nintendo logo on screen, Direct is over!
 
I couldn't really click with a single zelda game before BOTW. Not as in i thought they sucked, but there wasnt that wonder y know. They were too linear and their story wasnt really good or interesting or executed in such a way that got my attention.

I could see them doing once again a teaser type trailer thing this time with the date and/or name reveal and announcing a Zelda direct for in the coming weeks.

Probably my most unpopular Nintendo opinion is that I don't like Twilight Princess very much and if it does come in a bundle, I will get the bundle just for Wind Waker and ignore Twilight Princess altogether.
 
Nintendo can be really weird on releasing schedules of their biggest franchises - the biggest examples being Mario and Pokémon - so I don't see why they couldn't be just that weird with Zelda too.

This year we're having a new Pokémon generation releasing the same year as new ambitious Pokémon game that released just two months after Pokémon remakes.

2019 had New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe in late January and Super Mario Maker 2 in late June. 2020 had Paper Mario in July, then Super Mario 3D All Stars in September and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury(which was supposed to come in 2020, so like 2 months after All Stars).

Wouldn't even be the first time it happened to Zelda even, Wind Waker HD came out 2 months before A Link Between Worlds. There was also Majora's Mask 3D and TriForce Heroes release on the same year.

Twilight Princess HD + Wind Waker HD being early October/early December and Breath of the Wild 2 still being March isn't impossible.
 
Seems reasonable to me to have, at least, Twilight Princess HD still this year, if they retain the Wolf Link amiibo functionality that could hypothetically be carried over to BoTW2 in early March.. it's almost the repeat of what happened on Wii U (and if I recall, the game also was announced and launched within similar gap);

No clue about Wind Waker though.. lol

My unpopular Nintendo opinion is exactly this, except switch "Wind Waker" and "Twilight Princess"
 
hologram said:
No, he did not. Here's what he said (emphasis mine):

"It's going to be a fun day on the internet if Nintendo releases Zelda: Wind Wake HD and Twilight Princess HD as standalone $60 releases for Switch with no meaningful enhancements over the Wii U versions & people call it fair; yet the same call TLOU Part 1 a rip-off at $70."

I'd think both price points were scams lol. I'd still buy WW and TP HD, but I wouldn't be thrilled by the cost.

Tbf, you're technically comparing two of the biggest titans to ever exist in gaming with a mini-monster.
 
Wonder if Wind Waker HD gets amiibo this time, and if they reissue Wolf Link. Skyward Sword HD got joycons and the Zelda with Loftwing amiibo, after all.

I really just don't get what would even be the strategic play trying to squeeze multiple Zelda ports into an already packed release schedule when the next new 3D Zelda is so close. WW HD and TP HD would make a lot more sense as 2024 and 2025 releases.

Breath of the Wild sold more than any Pokémon game on the Switch tho.
I don't think the sequel to a ~30m sold game is a mini monster even when compared to the two biggest titans ever.

Let's speculate what the name of the WWHD+TPHD double pack is going to be because: "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD + The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD" is too long to be on a Nintendo Switch box spine, just slightly longer than Cadence of Hyrule's full name

The Legend of Zelda: The Ganondorf's Revenge Collection.

Although there was another dual game release, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Four Swords. So maybe The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess is a possibility.

If they are sold separately, I don't expect them to be released together. If Nintendo thinks one alone can support full price, then they'll also think one alone can act as the intermediate offering pending BOTW2. Releasing both together will just end up with them competing with other.

Personally thinking Nintendo have other options for Zelda going forward if they're happy to bring these games out now. Hyrule Warriors 3, new 2D Zelda, another remake (Oracles being the prime candidate), further remasters (still got Ocarina and Majora's Mask to HDify), or new spin offs.

I'm unashamedly going to rebuy the Zeldas and Metroid Prime because I don't have access to these games and I love all of them.

Too much terrible shit in the world for me to not want some comfort gaming.
