The existence of the Switch 2 is arguably one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry, with only official confirmation from Nintendo and a reveal of the new hardware standing between players and the Switch's successor. One of the larger questions surrounding the console, other than a projected release date and hardware specifications, is which Nintendo first-party franchises will launch alongside the Switch 2, and there's an obvious contender in The Legend of Zelda. Aside from the Zelda franchise being a time-tested console seller for Nintendo hardware at launch, the company still needs to make good on Switch ports of The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, two of the series' most beloved entries.
