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. 

Lol, except in the 80s Nintendo did make movies.  Mario and Wizard.  They also had a Mario and Zelda TV show, and Pokemon.  So, the whole movie thing isn't a huge surprise.  At least I am not the least bit surprised.  

I think a OoT Remake (new graphics, QoL) makes sense.  I don't think a BotW imagining makes sense.  Let us be careful here and use the right terms.  As previously mentioned, I could see a RE4 Remake, not a FF7 Remake.  Many people are expecting an Ocarina meets BotW, that I don't see happening.  

If it happens, I think it will stay damn close to the original source material, like RE4 did.  

They didn't have any active production role in those films they were just licensed out products, the Mario movies are made with people like Miyamoto involved directly in their development and Nintendo owns the movie rights to these films. 

Nintendo was never going to release a live action Zelda movie and have no new major Zelda game product to sell within 4 years release of the movie. Zelda movie is spring 2027. 

A new Zelda game completely from the ground up is still probably 4-5 years away, something else was always going to fill the gap, a big budget realistic style OoT remake makes all the sense in the world to release just before the live action movie. 

The other obvious tell is why is LEGO making Ocarina of Time themed Lego sets as their new Zelda play sets for 2025/2026? Take a wild guess. 

Sure, but it does demonstrate Nintendo was interested in other forms of media.  So, the whole "I can't believe Nintendo is doing movies" claim a bit silly, IMO.  There was a Ratchet movie, TLoU TV show, GoW is coming as well.  Resident Evil was a franchise of movies, etc. 

I expect a Zelda game.  Again, not sure how to get you to read to understand versus read to respond, I think it will be a faithful remake, not a complete reimaging.  I don't see Ocarina being BotW.  My claim ISN'T Ocarina won't be updated, I think it will stay closer to the original than some are suggestion.  

There's no point in speculating on that because it's entirely whatever Aonuma or who ever is heading the project feels. 

There's no rule whatsoever on what Nintendo can/can't do on that though, so much bullshit over things people think Nintendo are confined by when they're not. 

Nintendo will do whatever makes sense for them in the damn moment, doesn't matter what happened 5 years ago, 10 years ago, we've seen that like 50 times over the last 3 years with people argue stupid shit like Switch 2 can't be called "Switch 2" because "Nintendo wouldn't do that" (wrong) or can't do $400+ hardware or $70 games or launch with a Mario Kart instead of a Mario platformer etc. etc. etc. etc.. Nintendo does whatever suits them in the moment and that changes radically all the time. 

Lol, this entire thread is solely based on speculation, but we shouldn't speculate?  

And I swear you make up arguments.  Who said the Switch wouldn't be called 2?  Lol, calling it S2 makes all the sense in the world and should surprise nobody.  Especially after the whole Wii-U debacle.

Who said MK wasnt a reasonable launch title?  MK is a massive seller with wide appeal.  It makes perfect sense as a launch title.

Most everyone predicted $400 to $500...  lol, including me.

How many imaginary arguments have you "won?"

Tons of people were saying the "Switch 2" leak had to be a fake because Nintendo doesn't follow Sony's numbered hardware naming schemes so Switch 2 couldn't possibly be the name. And also Nintendo doesn't launch systems with a Mario Kart so Mario Kart couldn't possibly be the launch title because they've never done it before. And it definitely wasn't going to cost $450-$500 (lol) because of past hardware pricing. Wrong, wrong, wrong. 

People waste so much energy on this silly shit. Nintendo gives no fucks about any of these so-called "rules", they'll break and make new rules all the time. They give zero fucks, it's all about today and tomorrow whatever their management (which isn't even the same management as 10 years ago) thinks is best. And that's it. 

Nintendo quite frankly does the exact 180 opposite of what many internet enthusiasts think alllllll the freaking time. 

Tons?  Cool, show us.  If there are tons, you should be able to provide evidence.

You make an exorbitant amount of make up arguments and never provide any evidence.  

Show us where people said "2" was impossible and so was "MK."

I personally predicted $400 and said $450 was on the table, as did most everyone.  Dude, you are making up crap.
