Minimal Buzz Surrounds WW and Twilight Princess HD Release

Sure thing, here’s the rewritten version:

—

You ever sit there and just wonder what the heck Nintendo’s doing? I mean, seriously. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are kinda just sitting in the corner, gathering dust while the Switch is having its big moment. You’d think, with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom hyping everyone up, it’d be a no-brainer to bring those classics back. Heck, they could even just plop them onto the Switch without any fancy upgrades, like they did with that Super Mario 3D All-Stars thing.

And yeah, I’ve heard the rumors — everyone’s gossiping about remasters like they’re inevitable. You gotta take those with a shaker full of salt, though. Still, wouldn’t it be awesome if they did give them a fresh coat of paint? New players could dive into these gems and, who knows, maybe it’d gear them up for whatever new Legend of Zelda magic Nintendo’s cooking.

So here’s the deal. If these remasters do happen (and I hope they do!), they might just slip under the radar, like, real low-key. Why, you ask? Nintendo Switch Online, that’s why.

Picture this: you’re shelling out for a subscription, and bam! You get a buffet of classic games, including those good ol’ Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. During the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase, they dropped the bomb that Wind Waker’s heading to the platform on June 5. Makes you wonder if Twilight Princess is next. But, yeah, having them on NSO might steal some thunder if they ever go standalone. Super Mario 64 popped up there too, so who knows?

And talk about surprise drops! Remember Metroid Prime? Outta nowhere, just bam! There it was. Pikmin 1 + 2 got the same sneaky treatment. Looking back, it’s not just a Nintendo thing; other companies are pulling these stunts too. It’s like, here’s your favorite thing, no warning! Critics don’t even get a sneak peek to throw around their opinions. And honestly, the chaos might just make people even more hyped to snag it.

So, maybe, just maybe, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker will pop up when we’re not even looking. And that’s kinda exciting, right?
