The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both getting paid native Switch 2 releases (among a few other Switch 1 titles), though they aren’t the only Zelda games to be getting enhancements for the upcoming next-gen console.
Nintendo has revealed a list of first-party Switch 1 games that are going to get free updates that will apply smaller-scale enhancements for when they’re played on a Switch 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom are both included in that list. Both titles will add HDR support as well as visual optimizations and improved picture quality, Nintendo says. You will, of course, need an HDR-compatible display when you’re playing in console mode.
The company has also confirmed that similar free Switch 2 enhancements will roll out on the console’s launch day for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World, and others.
