Summary
A pair of well-known and reliable insiders have leaked some details about the nextLegend of Zeldagame. Following the release of 2023’sTears of the Kingdom, there have been a number of rumors surrounding theLegend of Zeldaseries and where it will head next. Rumors and speculation have only gotten more rampant when Nintendo confirmed that the successor to the Nintendo Switch will be revealed sometime in 2025.
Some of these rumors claim thatNintendo will be revisitingBreath of the Wildwith an enhanced version of the 2017 title for the new console. Another has claimed that Nintendo is working on a brand-new game that will apparently feature Princess Zelda herself in a possible playable role. Both of these leaks have come from a pair of reliable insiders, who recently gave fans more information about the nextZeldagame.
In a new Twitter thread by Midori, a notable leaker who has an incredibly accurate track record regarding Sega, she revealed that Nintendo has a project that is codenamed “Edward,” and it might be related to rumors about a newZeldagame. She later explained the relevance of the codename in relation to theZeldaseries, where Nintendo previously used the codename “Richard” forGrezzo’sLink’s Awakeningremake on Nintendo Switch. Based on this codename, fans began speculating that Nintendo was working on another remake of an olderZeldatitle, as Grezzo was hiring new staff back in 2021 for a new project.
Next Zelda Game Unlikely to be Oracle Remakes
Following Midori’s post on Twitter, fans began speculating about what game Nintendo would likely be remaking, with the most prevalent beingtheLegend of Zelda Oraclegames, as there were numerous rumors of the duology getting a remake. However, PapaGenos, another notable leaker, says fans “might be happy” about the nextZeldagame, while also stating for fans not to “hold their breath.” As such, this rumored title may be something that fans had wanted for a long time, but if PapaGenos is to be believed, is unlikely to be remakes of theOracleduology.
Based on PapaGenos' comment, fans believed that he was referring to apossibleTwilight Princessremaster for Switch 2, as it is one of the few Wii U games that haven’t made the jump to Switch yet, and there have been several rumors about a port. Regardless, despite the accurate track records of both PapaGenos and Midori in the past, fans should wait for more official information from Nintendo and should take these leaks with a grain of salt.
