With so many rumours whizzing about the world wide web these days, it can be easy to lose sight of what is actually true and what is just false and today, I shall attempt to dispel one such rumour.
If you are a regular on reddit and often hang out in the Zelda side of things, there’s a good chance that you’ll see a thread dedicated to the rumour of “Is The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds being ported to the Nintendo Switch?” Well, our answer is a flat-out “No,” and this Editorial is going to explain why our answer is what it is.
The Nintendo 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is now 10 years old, yet remains a remarkable experience.
Calling this classic feels so weird to me. It's still the newest game in the old style... hope they make another one.
I would love a remake of Link to the Past, one in a similar vain to Link's Awakening.
it was an awesome game and utilized the 3D very well on the 3DS. A Link to the Past is one of my favorite Zelda games, so this one being a true sequel to that title really hit home with me.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
Nothing I read there convinces me that this could never happen. The 3DS has run its course. It's an old system, and a gimmicky one at that. Porting ALBW to the Switch would create a new player base for it, and would in turn help expand that player base, since it would become one more good reason to buy a Switch. (It would certainly encourage me to take the plunge. This is the one real Zelda game I've never found a way to play.) Some 3DS players may even buy it a second time, if the Switch version is enhanced enough over the more primitive 3DS capabilities.
