My predictions that will 100% happen

- EVERYONE IS HERE type shit (all Zeldas are playable in one console)
- Link's Crossbow Training HD
- Tingle Rupeeland HD
- Link in Fortnite (IN ALL PLATFORMS)
- Zelda Anime on Crunchyroll

Just give me another mainline console Zelda game that isn't that stale ass BotW/TotK bullshit. Drop the art style too or at least get it closer to SS.

The preview shots they've shared look really bad to me, like a fan made effort, or IGN April Fools from 2010 or something. It just feels off.

That was how I felt about Chris Pratt in the videos leading up to the first Mario movie he voiced in. Like dude was actively phoning it in to troll or sabotage.

I just want an incredible OoT experience, they have to do jt justice...
If it's some chibi "links awakening switch" or "pokemon lets go" I will be so annoyed lol

Zelda II remake by FROM Soft

For a 30-minute direct, before a big Nintendo Direct, I'm thinking:

- Trailer for the movie with behind the scenes (I think they did this for one of the Mario movies, and it was super awkward, so I'd definitely look forward to something like that)
- A new 'Zelda Challenge' in the eShop to replace the DK one. (I'd also count on some Avatars being added)
- Some kind of 'anniversary' game, like Mario 35 or Tetris 99.
- Twilight Princess on the Virtual Console (I think this would mean every major Zelda game would be playable on the Switch 2?)
- Return of Ballad of the Goddess, or some other kind of real world event (Zelda expansion for the Nintendo theme park ?)
- Limited edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 with controller (I think we've seen this already?)
- Ocarina of Time Trailer, with Amiibo
- An announcement for either
- - New main Zelda entry announcement (something like that e3 moment where they just showed off keyart; I can't imagine we'd get screenshots or a trailer)
- - Remaster / Remake of another older Zelda game. I can't imagine it would be the Oracle titles/Threequel (because that would be too good), so maybe an updated Minish Cap?

Fromsoft developing it would just result in an easier game than the original.
