Nintendo’s special Game & Watch was revealed during E3 2021 as a collectible item for fans willing to celebrateThe Legend of Zelda’s Anniversary. Last year Nintendo releasedSuper Mario 3D All-Starsas a limited edition gameforSuper Mario Bros.’s 35th Anniversary. It’s safe to say, then, that a similar product was expected byZeldafans, with many players betting on a Switch release forTwilight PrincessandWind Waker. These two games have HD makeups available on the Wii U, and the Switch already features many games from Nintendo’s previous console.
TheGame & Watch: The Legend of Zeldais not theZeldacollection we were expecting, but it’s already better than nothing, as even the first games of the franchise still hold as great games decades later. At least we gota new trailer fromBreath of the Wild 2, together with a promise it will be released in 2022.
