As a long-time Zelda enthusiast who has sailed through countless islands and battled numerous villains in Hyrule, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement at the prospect of returning to The Wind Waker on the Nintendo Switch 2! I still remember the first time I set sail on that rickety old boat, with nothing but high seas and adventure ahead.
Fans of The Legend of Zelda are eagerly anticipating the possible reappearance of a classic from the Nintendo GameCube era on the Nintendo Switch, or even the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Post the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda enthusiasts are speculating about future developments. It’s likely that there will be a mainline Zelda game eventually for the Nintendo Switch 2, but before that, fans might take a trip down memory lane with a return to the series’ roots.
On the Nintendo GameCube, fans of The Legend of Zelda enjoyed titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and notably, the flagship GameCube Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. While The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was a substantial game, it is primarily intended for the Nintendo Wii.
Speculation persists that The Wind Waker, a classic Legend of Zelda game, might make a comeback on the Nintendo Switch, similar to the remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD released in 2021. However, as of now, no official news has been announced. Yet, some enthusiasts of The Legend of Zelda are hopeful that this could soon become a reality.
A Reddit post recently highlights an intriguing theory: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, although launched in South Korea (a significant market for the series), hasn’t received an official Korean translation. This absence of translation is surprising given the game’s release there, fueling this new discussion.
In 2003, The Wind Waker from The Legend of Zelda series was launched. It was three years prior to Nintendo expanding its operations in South Korea through the establishment of a subsidiary there. Starting in 2006, The Legend of Zelda games started receiving Korean translations, but not before then. The Wind Waker became available on the Wii U in 2013, which could have provided a translated version to South Koreans. Unfortunately, the Wii U was never released in South Korea, so they missed out on this opportunity. As a result, the game remains untranslated into Korean.
This theory is where things get interesting. The Korean Nintendo website once displayed a chronology of every Legend of Zelda game. Games with Korean translations appeared using their Korean names, while those without translation used their English titles. However, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker seems to belong to the former category, which is unusual since it should be in the latter. But why might this be?
It seems the solution to this question remains elusive for The Legend of Zelda enthusiasts. One possibility is that it could simply be an error, explaining its prompt correction. Alternatively, someone might have accidentally revealed information about a potential Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 adaptation, as speculated in previous whispers. Or maybe Nintendo has already completed such a port but is keeping it under wraps. Regardless of the reason, fans are now eagerly awaiting news related to The Wind Waker in the coming days.
