Zach is a popular YouTuber and Nintendo gamer who keeps uploading videos covering crucial details on his channel SwitchForce. In one of his recent clips, he discussed a latest wave of rumors and information doing the rounds on the internet.

The YouTuber revealed that according to industry insider and trusted scooper Jeff Grubb, there’s going to be a huge announcement from Nintendo very soon. Apparently, the developer and publisher will reportedly reveal two enhanced versions of classic Zelda installments for the Switch console.

To be precise, Zach mentioned that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker are set to be announced for the latest handheld console. These two were originally released for the GameCube by Nintendo.

Furthermore, the YouTuber also revealed another leak, coming from insider Liam Robertson. According to him, Nintendo will soon reveal a remake of the F-Zero GX from the GameCube era.

Now what’s interesting to note is that all three leaked titles were initially launched on the GameCube. And the Mario maker going for a ‘re-release route’ of its iconic games is nothing new. Previously, the developer has done it with the 3DS titles as well. Furthermore, there’s also a Metroid: Prime remaster, rumored to be coming later this year.
