The most common deduction fans have made from the tweet is that Nintendo has planned a Classic Zelda Remake release in 2024. For context, C in the code stands for Classic, Z for Zelda, and R for Remake, the theory claims. Also, another intriguing speculation alleges that C in the code may also mean Capcom integration for the Zelda Remake!

2024 could be the first year in recent memory without a Zelda release, breaking a trend of almost yearly releases that has characterized the franchise in recent years. However, there hasn’t been any official nod towards this or any of these claims. But if the rumors are to be trusted, fans aren’t far away from an official announcement.

Another popular industry leaker had taken to their social media and posted an encrypted code, “Z R 2023,” which they deleted later. The fact that a Zelda live-action movie was announced hours after the tweet adds incredible value to the ongoing theories. 

Jeff Grubb, a renowned industry insider, had also posted a tease about Nintendo planning a series of Zelda content post Tears of the Kingdom. It is unknown if the latter was referring to the live-action movie announcement or the series of remakes. But rumors suggest that  Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remasters could be released for the Switch in 2024. The focus on a live-action movie adaptation may also be a reason for delaying the next Zelda game’s development.

The Switch parent later recently released two Legend of Zelda classics: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages for Nintendo Switch online. So, it won’t be surprising if the developers come up with another classic remake for the year 2024. Players can never get enough of Zelda, can they?
