[Rumor] The possible return of Zelda: Breath of the Wild brings to light another Nintendo Switch 2 codename

Is Zelda: Breath of the Wild returning? We bring news after the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 and a Direct in June, which reached us this week along with updated sales data for Switch and its games. Along with that, we offered you the updated release schedule, but now we have more details on the codename of the successor model.

You already know that the president of the company, Shuntaro Furukawa, shared the first details of the console and described it as a “model.” Now, after some rumors that are already circulating after its official announcement, it seems that we have a new one focused on its codename.

This has been confirmed after another Switch 2-related codename that reached us a few days ago. This new one has emerged from the rumor that pointed to a new Zelda: Breath of the Wild project on the way.

Codename of Switch 2 according to this rumor of the return of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Here are the new details:

• The Switch 2 console would have the code name “OUNCE” (or “OZ” for short), a name originally discovered by dataminers last year in the system security certificate files of the current Nintendo Switch.
• Renowned leaker Midori recently announced on her X account that Nintendo would be working on a project codenamed “U-King-O.” “U-King”, as we told you in the rumor this morning, would be an internal Nintendo term used to classify The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
• Midori It was assumed that this project is related to the company’s next console due to the inclusion of the “O” suffix, which matches the codename “OUNCE.”
• El leaker Pyoro He has now claimed to know the codename, but never thought it would be related to “OUNCE.” However, she praised Midori’s comment.
• It is speculated that this version will be released as an update for the new consolewith graphical and performance improvements, allowing players to upgrade to the current version if they have already purchased the game on their Nintendo account.

I knew that codename but never thought it could be related to Ounce or something tbh. Midori has made a great point here.
