New Zelda Games on the Horizon
Nintendo has had an outstanding year, with several highly acclaimed games being released recently. Titles like Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Pikmin 4, and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet have been praised as some of the best games in their respective series. However, it's not just these games that have caught the attention of Nintendo fans.
A Growing Library on the Nintendo Switch
While the popularity of remakes, remasters, and re-releases has been on the rise, there's a specific area of the Nintendo Switch library that has seen a significant boost. Games like Super Mario RPG, Metroid Prime, Pikmin 1+2, and Kirby's Return to Dreamland have all received the treatment in the past year. And it doesn't stop there.
Rumors of More Remakes
This new strategy from Nintendo has led to speculation about other games that could potentially receive the same treatment. While the release of Metroid Prime 2 seems inevitable, there are hints of other games being in the works.
The Legend of Zelda Series Takes Center Stage
Nintendo Switch Online added a collection of classic games to its service last year, including two fan favorites from The Legend of Zelda series. Players were thrilled to see the return of the Oracle series, consisting of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, originally released for the Game Boy. With the massive popularity surrounding Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda games have become highly sought after.
Remakes in the Style of Link's Awakening
Considering the success of the remake of Link's Awakening, which was also a Game Boy Zelda game, it's no surprise that rumors are swirling about similar treatment for the Oracle games. It's believed that the same studio, Grezzo, is working on the remakes, following the style of Link's Awakening. The Oracle games offer players two games in one, and with the foundations already laid, it seems like a logical step for Nintendo.
