For less than a week now, the news of the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 arriving within the fiscal year has gone around the world . The Big N still has many cartridges at its disposal and, according to rumors, they could also have to do with a game that paved the way for Switch : Zelda Breath of the Wild .
As reported this morning by well-known insider Midori via X, ” there is a Nintendo project with the code name U-King-O .” At the moment Midori himself is not aware of the nature of this “U-King-O codename”, so much so that the aforementioned post continues in this way: ” It could be connected to the rumors about the codename of the next Nintendo console “. In short, for Midori there would be a strong connection between the codename U-King-O and the heir to the Nintendo Switch, but not everyone thinks the same.
The post in question was in fact followed by that of the user Skipper93653, which reads as follows: ” this is an improved version of Breath of the Wild “. Where, however, is the connection between U-King-O and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild ? “ Breath of the Wild’s code name is U-King ,” states the aforementioned user. Also, ” for Switch 1 ports, Nintendo likes to add the -S suffix to a game’s codename, but this one has an -O suffix that they’ve never used before. I think it’s for the successor – to the Nintendo Switch, NDR – “. So does Nintendo intend to release a new version of Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch 2? At the moment there is no way to give answers to this question, but we just have to wait a few more months to be able to sum up what Skipper93653 declared in the last few hours.
There is a project at Nintendo with the codename U-King-O
It might be related to the rumors of the next Nintendo console codename.
