Announced during last month's Nintendo Direct , The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will be the first entry in the series built from the ground up for Nintendo Switch 2 . While not a lot is currently known about the game, the Japanese company seems to already be looking ahead under series producer Eiji Aonuma , and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess may be the next entry in the series to be remade for the current-generation Nintendo system , as the next-gen console hardware allows for new features and technical enhancements not possible on the original Nintendo Switch .

"I hadn't heard anything about Zelda: Twilight Princess until not so long ago, but it seems a new version could arrive at some point," said prominent leaker Nash Weedle during an episode of the Partida Zero podcast a few days ago. " I had already commented a while back that I wasn't expecting either Wind Waker or Twilight Princess if they couldn't incorporate something more into them, and now with the Switch 2 , it's possible. For Twilight Princess, fairly strong rumors have reached me, but for Wind Waker, it seems to have been left in limbo."

As The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has been in active development for some time and we only heard about it a few months ahead of its planned release later this year, we shouldn't expect to hear more about the return of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with the few extras teased by the insider anytime soon. Also, we should definitely take this with a grain of salt, as while Nash Weedle proved reliable in the past few months regarding Zelda series rumors , known industry insider Nate the Hate was unable to corroborate the information at the time.

If the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will indeed be followed by the return of Twilight Princess , it will be interesting to see how it will fit in the series timeline , as a new main entry in the franchise is likely to be in development as well, and how much it will improve on the Wii U HD remaster. Hopefully, it won't take long to see what's next for the Zelda franchise in the next couple of years.
