After Luigi's Mansion 2, I can't believe they haven't ported A Link Between Worlds for the Switch.  Heck, just let Tantalus handle the port if they don't want to devote in-house resources.  Maybe they'll surprise us around the release of the Zelda movie if we're lucky.

The last Nintendo Direct was the first one to explicitly state that the new games were about the Switch 2, only. With that, I think that, from now on, there will be no more first-party games for the Switch 1

Nintendo never said that in the last Direct.  They had said in a past investor meeting that, going forward, Switch 2 is their priority.  The last Direct was originally described to focus on Switch 2 games launching this winter, but in fact, Koizumi specifically states at the beginning they will be showing "games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, including some games that will also be available on the Nintendo Switch system."  Any ports of Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Wooly World, or anything else that would also run on Switch 1 would be no different and a hypothetical 3DS port of A Link Between Worlds likely wouldn't be in-house anyway.

That's different from Nintendo continuing to devote full first-party resources to Switch 1 development.
