Will Nintendo Do a Remaster for the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Next Switch?

The gaming world is getting populated with more remakes and remastered titles of some of the most iconic hits in the past. In fact, the trend is so impactful that certain publishers are now coming up with remakes of games that haven’t even aged well just yet. One can think of the recently reported, Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, for PS5. And now it looks like Mario maker Nintendo maybe the next one to do so.

Why? Because who doesn’t like making more money off a celebrated title like, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Yes, Nintendo might come up with such an approach, if it wants to. It might happen to boost the hype either for a new Switch successor, or even the next anticipated sequel to the 2017 blockbuster.

Why Nintendo will make a remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

In case if anyone missed to keep track of events, the news of the rumored remake/remaster of 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn, for the PlayStation 5, has been doing the rounds on the internet since the last few days. Ever since it was revealed through various leaks, most of the fans have expressed a disappointment, while criticizing Sony in case if it’s actually working on it.

Popular YouTuber Zach, from the channel SwitchForce, recently came up with a video in which he talked about the growing trend of companies trying to make remasters of their popular games. While mentioning the news regarding Horizon Zero Dawn, he also talked about Nintendo and why it may also follow Sony’s route.

He said that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, is coming up next year and might arrive with a new Switch Pro model. And to increase the hype around the sequel, Nintendo may announce a remaster of the original, with improved graphics, lighting, and some added features for a higher price.

Per Zack, it might end up being priced around $70 or close to it, since Nintendo won’t leave such an opportunity to gain more profit.

This is not something fully certain, albeit, the Japanese giant might opt for such a step going forward. Because somehow they know that many players will still buy a remastered Breath of the Wild despite the fact that the original is only five years old.

According to Zack, this is not a great approach whatsoever. Because ultimately it will indicate that there’s a lack of creativity to develop a new, original IP. Which is actually the case with many publishers these days. It will be intriguing to see if Nintendo will do a Breath of the Wild remaster or not.
