Wind Waker HD could still come to Switch 2, claims Nintendo

Over the course of the Switch’s life cycle, Nintendo ported pretty much every single Wii U exclusive to the console, offering enhanced resolutions and sometimes additional content. One of the few games to never see such a remaster was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Despite the fact that the GameCube version of Wind Waker is coming to Switch 2 through NSO, the company claimed that a more comprehensive port could happen in future.

Following the confirmation that Wind Waker would be coming to Switch 2 through the system’s new Nintendo Switch Online GameCube emulator, many fans were left fearing that the well-received Wii U port of ‘Wind Waker HD’ would be ignored as a result.

In an interview conducted by Kinda Funny’s Tim Getty towards Nintendo of America's senior vice-president of product development [Nate Bihldorff], it was revealed that Wind Waker HD could still come to Switch 2, with Getty later stating:

“I did ask if having The Wind Waker on Nintendo Switch Online precludes it from the Switch 2 getting the actual Wii U port at some point, and he was very quick to say ‘no, all options are on the table.'”

Of course, Wind Waker HD coming to Switch 2 could be a monkey’s paw situation at this point, given the current pricing strategies for Nintendo’s ports. Still, Wind Waker HD was an excellent title, and so it (and Twilight Princes HD) deserve to be deshackled from the Wii U’s dying grasp.
