That's according to GamesBeat managing editor Mike Minotti and Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb, who were speaking on a podcast this week.

"To be clear guys, the one thing we are very, very sure is being announced at this Direct are the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports for Switch," Minotti said.

"Yeah, I think there's going to be a lot of Zelda stuff at this thing," Grubb said. "I think this is like a Zelda blowout for Nintendo.

"100% there's a Nintendo Direct in September, it's that simple. There is still some uncertainty about whether this will be a general [Direct], maybe a Mini, there was some talk of it being a Partner Direct"

[Dest]

Until I have Wind Waker, Twilight Princes AND Metroid Prime on my Switch and playable I have trust issues with the entire planet.

 

[IDontBeatGames]

I already made a thread about this and closed it since this is just more from Jeff Grubb Angie, I just put all of the news in the existing thread

Predict a Nintendo Direct every week.

Eventually you'll be right,

 

[purseowner]

September: Splatoon 3
October: Bayonetta 3
November: Metroid Prime
December: Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
February: Zelda WW + TP

Edit: Forgot Pokemon was November oops

 

[Bengraven]

*heavy breathing*

 

[Kaban]

Please don't blue balls me on this, I need Wind Waker on Switch please and thank you

Grubb hasn't been doing that, though.

 

[Kouriozan]

Those games coming back is a long lasting rumor, and like 3D World, it is a skip from me since I 100%ed both on Wii U.

September: Splatoon 3
October: Bayonetta 3
November: Metroid Prime
December: Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
February: Zelda WW + TP

Click to shrink...

And April : BotW 2

 

[kurt]

September: Splatoon 3

November: Metroid Prime

That would be too close too botw 2

 

[Mandelbrot]

Nintendo executives:
Every time we see an article like this, we shift the release date of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess back by 1 year.

 

[jeelybeans]

Finally. Feels like we have been waiting for this to be officially announced forever.

I wonder how they will space it out with BOTW2.

 

[purseowner]

That would be too close too botw 2

February is the Wii U port slot though and the rest of this year's pretty full.

 

[Crumrin]

Please be true!

 

[ned_ballad]

Other than the remakes of the N64 games (and Master Quest I guess...), that would mean every single 3D Zelda was playable on the Switch

Which is... awesome!

 

[jokkir]

Zelda edition of the Switch Proo

 

[Mekanos]

I'd be extremely surprised if they put a bunch of Zelda SKUs like that so close together.

 

[Joe]

At that point, what Zelda games won't be playable on the Switch?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Upgrade path?

 

[InResolute]

Finally.

 

[Delaney]

At that point, what Zelda games won't be playable on the Switch?

Breath of the Wild 2

Lmao this is Nintendo

 

[Renna Hazel]

Upgrade path?

Click to shrink...

From Wii U? The path is to buy it again.

 

[AniHawk]

At that point, what Zelda games won't be playable on the Switch?

Click to shrink...

oracle of ages, oracle of seasons, minish cap, four swords, four swords adventure, phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, a link between worlds, triforce heroes, bs the legend of zelda

 

[ned_ballad]

I'm gonna count the LA remake for LA

- Oracle of Ages
- Oracle of Seasons
- Four Swords
- Four Swords Adventure
- Minish Cap
- Phantom Hourglass
- Spirit Tracks
- Link Between Worlds
- Triforce Heroes

And various spin offs, notably Crossbow Training and the Tingle games

And of course the CDi games lmao

All 3D games would be playable, with the N64 games via Switch Online and the rest with their own dedicated ports

 

[Bengraven]

Ages. Edit: shit all the portable ones except LA if you count the remake.

 

[poptire]

I'm excited to play through WW again. Hope this happens.

 

[Belphegor]

Doubt Nintendo would bundle these games instead of selling them each for 60 bucks. Would love to be proven wrong.

 

[lunanto]

I think they also mentioned this idea, and I would be totally down for it: a new cenital view Zelda using the Switch´s Link´s Awakening engine/assets.

 

[Jroc]

I hope they fix the graphics in WWHD

 

[Mudo]

I feel like these will release in December, assuming BOTW2 isn't delayed again and release in March/April.

I adore TP so these are easy day 1 for me even tho I have them on WiiU lol. I am part of the problem.

Thanks. Some good ones, then. Let's hope we get that GB/GBA on NSO some day soon.

 

[cw_sasuke]

If GB and GBA NSO is happening as well it's gonna be the best timeline for Zelda fans.

 

[Paradax]

Hope they fix the broken water effects of the Wii U remaster

 

[Piccoro]

I'm down for some Wind Waker.
One of the few Zelda games I haven't played.

Please be true.

 

[Bizzquik]

Until I have Wind Waker, Twilight Princes AND Metroid Prime on my Switch and playable I have trust issues with the entire planet.

If I had those three from Nintendo on my Switch - I'd be set.

Those entries are some of the best of their two series, and those are some of the best series in all of gaming!

 

[ianpm31]

$60 for each game? Lol that's my question

 

[Daddy JeanPi]

Link's Crossbow Training

$60 bucko

 

[JurassicJack17]

Please don't be fucking with me VGC, I don't think I could handle anymore disappointment.

 

[javac]

More options to play these games and have them on a modern system is good but I'm so over these games.

 

[_zoipi]

Grubb hasn't been doing that, though.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, but it's a natural instinct when someone says "Direct soon".

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Upgrade path?

Click to shrink...

We'll be lucky if it isn't 2 full priced releases.

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Sad to know we live in the timeline where these will both cost $80 CAD apiece.

 

[Aaron]

LOL, just loaded up on eShop credit before the Wii U shop closes and these were naturally the two main things I wanted to grab. Had a feeling as soon as I took the plunge we'd see Switch ports, but whatever.

 

[B. Spaceman]

I just want new games. Or at least games I haven't played a 100 times

 

[hydruxo]

I hope so. Never played either.

 

[Parthenios]

Unless they have new content (at least one new dungeon each) then count me out.

Which is fine, not everyone has to buy everything, this is just me expressing my desire for new content/dissatisfaction that they rarely do it.

 

[NuclearCake]

I said it already but I hope they wait. 4K60 on the Switch 2. I also hope they fix the art style for Wind Waker to resemble the original GC version. The Wii U version completely screwed it up with the overdone Bloom and parts of it no longer looking cel-shaded. Namely the character models.
