Talking about it further, the YouTuber stated a deep connection between the new console and the Zelda series. He mentioned that Nintendo has used past Zelda titles to make them available on a fresh hardware.

They did it by bridging the Twilight Princess from GameCube to Wii, and then Breath of the Wild from Wii to Switch. Going by this pattern, 2023’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may bring the news of a brand new Switch Pro, according to Zach.

Moreover, Zach also mentioned that older console models are also expected to be launched next year. GameBoy and GameBoy Advanced, along with the GameCube, might be unveiled in the coming months. They will surely add a boost to the Switch Pro to generate more hype among the fans.
