For a game that isn’t officially playable on the standard Nintendo Switch in any way, there’s a lot to say about Zelda: The Wind Waker. For years, almost every time a fake Nintendo Direct leak popped up, you’d see The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD as shoo-in titles. They were both long rumored to come to Nintendo Switch to fill the gap between new Zelda games, but in the end, that didn’t happen. Interestingly enough, though, Nintendo opted to bring the original version of the game to Switch Online exclusively on Switch 2. Even more interesting is that according to a Nintendo representative, this supposedly does not prevent The Wind Waker HD from coming to Switch 2 someday.

With that in mind, I recently played through and 100 percent completed the GameCube version of The Wind Waker recently. Though many of its mechanics are frustrating to work with, the game as a whole has aged remarkably well considering it’s over twenty years old at this point. If you haven’t played either version of the game, it’s not a bad idea to play through the GameCube version. The Nintendo Switch Online port even has save states, which makes it much easier to pick up and play however you like.

In an interview with Famitsu, director Takuto Edagawa spoke more about the origins of the port. He noted that with Nintendo Switch 2, Koei Tecmo was hoping the game could reach its full potential.

Edagawa told the magazine:
