Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD said to be coming to Switch this year

2021 marks the 35th anniversary for The Legend of Zelda series. As part of this celebration, Nintendo announced that it would be remastering Skyward Sword in HD and bringing it to the Switch this year. While many fans were left disappointed at the lack of news regarding Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD, it has been reported that these two titles are still very much on the way.

As reported by both Andy Robinson of VGC and Tom Phillips from Eurogamer, both The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will be coming to the Nintendo Switch this year.

Typically, Nintendo likes to release one Zelda-related game per year, and seeing as how Skyward Sword HD was announced to br releasing this July, many fans were left wondering whether that would be it for Zelda in 2021. Fortunately, it seems as though that will not be the case.

Last year for Mario’s 35th anniversary, Nintendo released the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection – a set of three classic Mario titles remastered for the Switch. With Skyward Sword already announced, and Twilight Princess + Wind Waker already having been remastered for the Wii U, it makes sense that these games would make their way to the Switch eventually.

Still, with Skyward Sword, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess all supposedly coming to the Switch in 2021, it begs the question as to whether the much-anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel will also come this year, or if fans will have to wait even longer to play the game.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
