So what are we expecting from Zelda this year?

I expect not a single fucking thing and will still get disappointed.
Nintendo has no clue what to do with legacy games.

I didn't mean that AoC slowed down BOTW. What I meant was that 2020 had a Zelda project and there could be more planned and in development that what people are expecting and are rumored.
Like I said, I'd imagine that Nintendo wants BotW2 out this year. But we'll get our answer once the release date for the Diamond/Pearl remake is revealed. If they're out in November, then BotW2 is a 2022 game (likely due to COVID, as you said).
YOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Want:
Will get:
...and I'll buy both 😑
- Complete remake of Ocarina and Majora in the BotW engine
- 2D Zelda collection (LttP/LBW/Minish Cap)
- Oracle games remade in LA engine
- 3D all star collection of WWHD/TPHD/SSHD
- BotW2
Will get:
- BotW 2 trailer
- WWHD and TPHD as separate $60 releases
...and I'll buy both 😑
Sure, launching on an appealing and successful console certainly helped TP (just like how being on the Switch helped BotW, put it on WiiU in 2014 and wouldn't have done jack shit for the thing, just like MK8 and 3D World), but I think it's a bit naive and myopic to contribute the bulk of TP's success to just being on the Wii. The game clearly struck a chord with people at a time where stuff like "Powerpuff Link" and Lord of the Rings was fresh on people's minds. Eiji Aonuma pretty much admitted that TP was course correction caused by WW's disappointing commercial performance and the criticism and desires from western fans (not that those people were the majority or anything, WW was critically acclaimed and many enjoyed even at the time, but they were clearly vocal enough to be noticed).
No disagreement here. I understand it gaining appreciation over time for its art style but I also feel it has a lot of other flaws (which you mentioned) that don't age well over time. I've always held the quasi-unpopular opinion that Twilight Princess is the better game and it's not really a close race imo.
Yeah, Nintendo are known for creating story and cutscenes later on in the development process.
Best case scenario
- BOTW 2 release
- Collection that has somewhat better legacy content than Mario's anniversary collection had
- Some kind of bigger surprise regarding top down -view Zelda
Worst case scenario
- No BOTW 2

Well, yeah, there is a lot with WW that can be criticised. It all has been ignored back then because of the artstyle.
I still prefere it to TP in many aspects. Lore/Artstyle/Characters/Ganondorf are all better, the music is better, and imho links movement and the items feel more satisfying in Wind Waker. The dungeons are a clear downfall, the sailing is a bit to barren, hint for sharts at the end was just padding. Overall i enjoy it just more than TP.
Well they did earn a lot with legacy games over the last 20 years for not knowing what to do with them.
(But yeah, they could handle them a whole lot better, no doubt, especially from a consumer perspective)
"late" can mean a lot. its better to create them late since youre not hampered with decision while designing the gameplay,
but late can mean 1-2 years before release instead of planning them from the beginning.
Spring:
3D Collection:
OoT3D HD
TPHD
WWHD
SSHD standalone
Summer:
2D Zelda Collection
Fall:
BOTW2 in September with Switch Pro launching alongside it.

I think this will happen:
- Zelda OOT/MM Collection. Using Mario 64 emulator, not 3DS versions. $40. Summer 2021 (July)
- Zelda WW/TP HD collection. Based off Cube/Wii emulators. I know. $40. Early fall (September)
- Zelda SS HD DX. Most changes. Still uses Wii emulator. Option for traditional controls. $40. Holiday (Oct/Nov)
- Zelda BoTW 2 trailer and release date announcement for March 2022, 5 year anniversary of Switch.
I'd like to see them bring back the SatellaView BS Zelda as a limited-time event to NSO, or something like it. That could be their Super Mario Bros 35 for the Zelda anniversary.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition ported to Switch as another limited free release as per before.
Man c'mon, what about your family? You don't need to waste time getting harassed by us for vague teases about upcoming Nintendo releases, take it easy
Maannnnn you can't just hit and run like this... Could you elaborate a bit?
Im just basing it off the 3D Mario collection, $20 per game. Skyward Sword in its own.
I would pay full price for mm remake or 3ds HD Port or for albw 3ds HD Port. Dayone
am a member here and i can post what i think, for the love of god not everything is a hint.
If even this turns out to be a C.Tsubasa hinted that .. thing... than please mods just delete my account.
My prediction:
1- SS HD (with a possible Dlc)
2- Oracles of Seasons/Ages remakes
3- Botw2 (2021/2022 it depends on how covid-19 will affect this year)
and maybe the tv-series of Zelda

Maybe not BOTW2, but I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to release some ports or remasters. Their work can't have been impacted that much, unless you're thinking that they were never working on something like that in the first place.
It would be dope if Nintendo prepare to launch BoTW2 along with Switch Pro. Make it a special bundle or something.
Somehow I am of the opinion that the next Zelda comes out in March 2022 together with the new stronger Switch System.
In a way it celebrates 5 years of Nintendo Switch and 5 years of TLOZ BotW. At the same time it is in the 2021 fiscal year.
Other option is of course in fall/winter :).
Otherwise I think there will be a repeat of the Mario anniversary. Merchandise, Lego perhaps, Game and Watch.
Same will happen for Metroid but will be extended to 2022 for Metroid Prime 4 release as well. So I think we get the Trilogy this year or early 2022

I missed having you around in discussing, so hopefully we can avoid analyzing everything you say.
But I know ERA. I don't think that's possible.

That's totally fair, I feel like it's in large part because of how Nintendo has been keeping their cards so close to their chest and because of how trusted you are that your every word is taken as having a secret meaning and that must be a right pain,
Well what's the absolute bare minimum effort Nintendo could do to make money out of this?
Zelda all stars - twilight p, wind Waker - straight port of the HD vetdions, skyward sword - basic port no changes made at all
Some animal crossing event
.
A gold switch would be nice but let's make it £40 extra for no reason
And a green game and watch with og legend of zelda on it

Unless they release a sensor bar that works with the switch there's no way to release skyward sword on switch with no changes, expect at least that much.
