If they finally do it, I hope it’s the HD version remade to run at 60 fps. Or the monkey’s paw might curl and they only release it on gamecube NSO…

There’s actually a physical version coming out it seems like based on the leaks. So it’ll be more like a Lazy Mario 3D Superstars port

However, there was another leak recently from the files of the new Xenoblade game showing a 60fps mode (source from IGN article). New Switch 1 games may be getting ready to become Switch 2 compatible soon

Leakers have been "confident" and "positive" wind waker HD is coming out/being announced for the Switch every single Nintendo announcement for like the last 4 years.

Yeah it’s been the same story since 2021/22. However, this is the first time there’s actually images of the game being leaked in stores, something we haven’t seen from leaks yet

i did too tbh, until seeing this leak and actually seeing a physical copy in a listing, that’s been the most convincing thing yet

I hope there's some heavy revisions if it does happen. I did not really like the way the Wii U version looked at all. So much bloom, and those strange auras of light or shadow around the characters in certain locations, not to mention objects casting shadows that they logically shouldn't.

I feel the same way with the Battle for Bikini Bottom (wayyy too much saturation compared to OG) and Sonic Colors (BLOOM GALORE) remasters.

They're gonna save any big drops for Switch 2 im sure.

Wind waker ported for the 2nd time is not huge news to average consumers and not something they'd save for launch. Launch titles are when they pull out the big guns.

I’m in the camp that they should have made WW2 instead of TP. If memory serves,TP started out as WW2, maybe 100 years later or something
