“We have no intentions to release skyward sword onto nintendo switch”
– Nintendo
And now look at the Nintendo Switches Zelda games
Many in this comment section are spreading the false rumor that Skyward Sword has been released for the Nintendo Switch. Will you fools never learn?!
So.. about that last rumor.
"Are you sure you dont want to ask about a Switch Version of Skyward Sword?"
The prophecy…
And now we do have Skyward Sword on Switch.
Skyward sword remastered came to the switch
Watching these videos years later can be a fun experience. The Switch version of Skyward Switch indeed came out after all!
Nintendo spokesperson to Eurogamer: “At this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch.”
Me: acknowledging Skyward Sword HD’s existence “Boy I wonder how dumb that person feels right about now…”
Rewatching this and now owning skyward sword for the switch 🤦🏽♀️😂
"Insider Emily Rogers"
Stilllllll waiting for the imminent official Mother 3 English release, Emily.
huh guess skyward sword was ported
Well now skyward sword is on switch
"Although Nintendo began designing Zelda 3 in 1988, the game itself was always planned to be a Super Nintendo game, not an NES game." That's a DAMN LIE!
Takashi Tezuka, the director of A Link to The Past said it was going to be developed for the NES from the start, but when Nintendo began ideas for a 16-bit successor to their Original Famicom/NES, the NES Zelda 3 project was abandoned and a new game was made for the new console.
That made-up Tingle Returns screenshot might have came from a Time-Traveler! 🕖
The mention of there being no plan for a Skyward Sword HD cracked me up.
That last one aged poorly
Lmao watching this video for the first time after skyward sword for switch has come out
The skywards Sword aged well
My uncle is the guy they based ganon on and this is all real
Watching this in 2021 is funny because Skyward Sword on Switch is now real
50 cent as epona. Just the though of it make me laugh
lol Skyward Sword on switch is now a reality. :'''D
Love how there was no rumors on skyward sword cause everyone can agree it's the worst in the series lol
Metroid Equestrian Races!!!
"Hylian accurate"🤦♂️🤣
Nintendo spokesperson: "At this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Switch."
So that was a fucking lie.
“The trailer seemed to be fairly well-made” no it wasn’t lol. That was trailer was bottom tier production value and was very obviously fake. It was also released on April Fools day. I remember my friend being adamant it was real and all I could was shake my head.
This video did not age well…yes, I am looking at you, Chris Pratt.
glues a handwritten piece of paper on a NES cartridge Zelda 15, buy it while it's fresh!
"If Zelda fights, then what is Link gonna do" sad to say the old CDi Zelda titles were further in the future than the japanese developer team…
"no plan to bring SS to Switch" but then they did it anyway
27:30 And then the skyward sword remasterd released…
At the time of making the video, all was true. But they did make skyward sword on the switch.
Book of Hyrule is literally jut Persona.
A lot of these rumors are easily debunked by the scenarios they draft up. As soon as they start throwing around ideas that are “darker”, “steampunk”, etc., all credibility goes straight out of the window. I’m not saying no Zelda title took on a darker approach than the last entry, but describing it with such a meager label sounds like it’s coming from a 10 year old with ADHD that thinks Shadow the Hedgehog is cool. Everyone’s minds immediately go to “darker” and “edgier” when they think about a next-gen iteration of a fantasy title like Zelda, because they imagine that’s how Nintendo would try to ‘wow’ everyone into seeing the series as being more realistic. But really, Nintendo has been very picky about what ideas move forward and which ones don’t, as even when they let their imaginations run wild during BotW’s development there was a lot of cr*p that got thrown in the trash after being thoroughly explored and mapped out. I can’t imagine they’d approve of anything like that try-hard “Valley of the Flood” synopsis.
50 Cent voiced Epona xDDD
How about the gba wind waker?
"Metroid Equestrian Races" absolutely kills me as a title. That's ridiculous.
I will say though…"Warioware: Fart Mania" is not completely out of the question as a title.

Half of these aren't even rumours there just April fool's jokes which shouldn't count…
every time a large swathe of people fall for a bad April Fool's prank, I feel a little less terrible about having no ability to discern sarcasm
"If we have a female protagonist, it's simpler to make it Zelda. But if Zelda fights, what's Link going to do?"
Well, then obviously it's not simpler to make Zelda the playable character then. Since making Zelda the protagonist sidelines Link and has story ramifications. You can't do it at all, so clearly, it's much harder to make Zelda the protagonist. So you should just do what everyone was already expecting: put Linkle in the game, playing exactly the same role as Link. Literally just, it's Link, but a girl. No need to think about it so hard, just swap the character model and pronouns. Like the modding community did anyway. And like you do already in every Pokemon game. If it doesn't make sense, who cares? The fans will come up with a way to make it make sense and they'll have a lot of fun doing it, just like they already do with your nonsensical timeline.
The timeline doesn't have to make sense because it's more important for the game to be fun, that's how you've been operating up to now with great success. So why's Linkle got to make sense?
50 Shades of Gray Zelink…
I would say that's ludicrous and nobody would ever even consider such
nonsense. But I'm on the internet. SO I don't even have to look, I'm
99.9999% sure that someone has already written that fanfiction, probably
multiple times, and it's exactly as terrible as it sounds. I know it's a
certainty because the internet was and is and continues to be a
mistake, a curse, and a blight upon humanity, not to mention and affront
to God and a crime against nature.
What an abomination. I bet Link is the sub
