As The Legend of Zelda approached its thirty-fifth year, a familiar tension arose between what fans hoped for and what a company had yet to confirm. A credible insider's prediction — that four foundational Zelda titles would arrive on Nintendo Switch before year's end — spread through gaming communities not merely as rumor, but as a kind of collective longing made plausible by past accuracy. It is a moment that recurs in the life of beloved franchises: the anniversary as mirror, reflecting both where a series began and how far it has traveled.
