What other games do you want to see on Switch?

I don’t think that’s the right way to look at it.

Both Switch and NES have sold 62 million units:

Zelda 1 only sold 6.51 million, and Zelda 2 sold 4.38 million; but Breath of the Wild has sold 18.6 million. To me that indicates that Breath of the Wild has reached more people and is therefore more popular.

I do agree with keeping Zelda 2 around in its original form - I tend to like the original adaptations of games myself, but I am also not against having an update of the game.

Even Shakespeare has been revised and adapted.

Yeah, this is what I was originally asking for.  I want an updated version of Zelda 2 (and Zelda 1 and Link to the Past) that is similar to the Link's Awakening remake.  Updated graphics with some QoL refinements.  I don't want them to radically change the game like FF7 Remake though.

Mystic Quest (Seiken Densetsu 1), the first ever handheld action RPG, was remade twice: Sword of Mana and Adventures of Mana. Sword of Mana is one of my most hated remakes while Adventures of Mana is one of my most loved.

Sword of Mana was a 2D remake on GBA that “fixed” a lot of stuff that wasn’t broken, and bulked up the story as if the original wasn’t good enough. As a result, I found much of the tension of the original script was lost. Sometimes a few quick lines deliver a more emotional experience than 4-6 pages of dialogue. What they were going for was something that more resembled Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2).

Adventures of Mana was both more ambitious and more true to the original experience. It took the original 2D monochrome game and adapted it to 3D. While the game looks very different on the surface, it feels much closer to Mystic Quest than Sword of Mana does.

The Square side of Square Enix is generally not as good as the Enix side at mobile versions of games, but Adventures of Mana is a whopping exception.

Speaking of which, Square! If you have eyes in this forum: bring Adventures of Mana to Switch! Also, port over the SaGa 2 remake.
