There has been a lot of buzz among Nintendo fans regarding the potential release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the new Switch console. With Nintendo's confirmation that they will announce their new console before April, rumors and leaks are starting to surface at a rapid rate. While these leaks and rumors may not always be accurate, there are some hints that the beloved game may receive an update for the new console.
Some Nintendo rumors have a reputation for not coming to fruition, especially when it comes to software rather than hardware. It's unclear why this is the case, but some speculate that Nintendo may be running their own counterintelligence operation. However, the possibility of a new version of Breath of the Wild being released for the Switch 2 seems like a believable idea.
Last August, at Gamescom, there were talks of a revamped version of Breath of the Wild being shown in a tech demo for developers. Surprisingly, Nintendo denied the presence of the Switch 2 at the event, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. This only added fuel to the speculation, especially since a remastered version of Breath of the Wild would make a perfect launch title for the new console, showcasing its improved hardware.
Recently, a well-respected Japanese leaker, known as Midori, suggested that Nintendo is working on a project with the codename "U-King-O". While it may seem like an impossible task to decipher what this codename could mean, it was discovered that U-King was actually the codename for the original version of Breath of the Wild. This has led many to believe that this could be a new version of the game for the Switch 2. Alternatively, it could also be a completely new game using Breath of the Wild as its foundation, similar to how "Tears of the Kingdom" did.
Speaking of "Tears of the Kingdom", many fans have been eagerly waiting for a game where Princess Zelda is the main character. While Nintendo has previously stated that the next mainline entry in the series will not be based on Breath of the Wild, there have been rumors of a new game featuring Zelda as the protagonist. However, it's unclear if this new project is for the Switch 2 or if it will be released for the original Switch this Christmas.
Nintendo fans have been fixated on codenames lately, with many debates about whether the word "muji" is the actual codename for the new console or not. Some believe it's merely a placeholder to keep the real codename a secret. Meanwhile, another leaker, Mike Heskin, claims that the real codename has already been leaked in a recent Switch firmware update, but no one has been able to decipher it yet. It's still a mystery as to why the codenames matter, as previous Nintendo consoles have had codenames that reveal very little about the actual device.
On a more positive note, Midori has also mentioned another codename, "Banquet", which may indicate that a new Nintendo project is in the works. This could potentially be a new installment in the Super Mario Party series, as the previous game's codename was "Buffet". However, there's no confirmation on whether this is for the Switch or the Switch 2.
