That's true, but when he stakes his name to a specific claim it does pan out most of the time; he does sometimes engage in pure speculation in his podcasts, but he is usually pretty good at clearly framing these times as speculation rather than stating "this is definitely happening".

I'm not 100% sold on this being real mind you, but hey, we'll find out soon enough.

I hope it is true, and I hope the S2 gets WWHD and TPHD at 4k 60 fps.  

I am very skeptical of this tbh.  I get Nintendo remade a few games on the 3DS, but generally speaking Nintendo isn't a company that typically remakes games.  Thousand and Mario RPG were more remasters.  A complete reimagining of an old title doesn't seem very Nintendo to me.  

Game development times also didn't use to be 8+ years for a new Zelda game. 

Shit changes, "doesn't seem Nintendo to me" is a very tired (and quite often false) talking point, Nintendo changes policy all the time for whatever suits them in the moment. There are dozens of things they do today that would have been unthinkable to a lot of people even 6-7 years ago. Their big product release for the first half of this year is really a Hollywood movie, most people would never have seen that coming a few years ago even. 

If it makes sense to get a Zelda remade earlier in the Switch 2 cycle so they can sell systems rather than waiting until freaking 2031 for the next proper Zelda, then that's what Nintendo will do. 

There's a lot of reasons why an OoT Remake makes a lot of sense, not least of which is that it'll probably sell 10+ million copies and a bunch of Switch 2 console hardware this holiday through 2027.
