After recent rumors of an upcoming Nintendo Direct that will feature a slew of announcements based on The Legend of Zelda series, such as the long-rumored Nintendo Switch ports for The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb took to the Nintendo Shack podcast to state that the upcoming event will reveal The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s sequel‘s official name. Additionally, Grubb also announced that the presentation will also feature the heavily rumored Metroid Prime remaster. None of these claims has yet to be confirmed by Nintendo.
