A prominent leak account has renewed claims that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess may be targeted for release on the next-generation Nintendo hardware commonly referred to in press as “Nintendo Switch 2.” Nash Weedle, a known figure in the leaks community, recently stated in a video that a revised version of Twilight Princess could arrive on the new platform.
It’s important to distinguish those claims from official confirmation: Nintendo has not announced any Switch 2 hardware or specific Zelda ports at this time.
Background and verified history
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess originally launched in 2006 for Nintendo’s GameCube and Wii consoles and was developed and published by Nintendo.
A remastered edition, Twilight Princess HD, was released for Wii U in 2016.
Similarly, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker received a high-definition remaster for Wii U in 2013.
Both HD releases were published by Nintendo and appeared on the Wii U eShop and physical Wii U retail channels.
What the leaker said (paraphrased)
Weedle told viewers that he has received “fairly strong rumors” suggesting a new version of Twilight Princess could be in development for Nintendo’s next hardware.
He added that Wind Waker, another frequently discussed candidate for a modern port, appears to be in a state of limbo according to the same sources.
In journalistic terms: Weedle claims sources indicate Twilight Princess is more likely to be revisited on next‑generation Nintendo hardware than Wind Waker, which he says is currently uncertain.
Context and what to watch for
Weedle has a mixed public record—some earlier posts have later coincided with Nintendo announcements, while others did not materialize.
Because the claims remain unconfirmed by Nintendo, any reporting that treats a Switch 2 Twilight Princess port as fact would be premature.
Historically, Nintendo has used Nintendo Direct broadcasts and eShop listings to announce ports, remasters, and digital launch details, so those are the channels to monitor for official word.
Conclusion
For now, the only verified facts are Twilight Princess’s 2006 original release and its 2016 Wii U HD remaster, along with Wind Waker HD’s 2013 Wii U release.
Claims from leak sources like Nash Weedle should be treated as unverified until Nintendo provides an official announcement via Nintendo Direct, press release, or eShop listing.
