Key Points:
- Nintendo has filed a new trademark for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, a 2015 3DS game, sparking speculation about a possible port or remake for the Nintendo Switch or its successor.
- The trademark filing coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda franchise, suggesting the update may be part of anniversary celebrations.
- Tri Force Heroes, developed by Nintendo EPD and Grezzo, was a spin-off title that received mixed reviews and sold between one and two million copies, a modest performance by Nintendo standards.
- The game has been largely dormant since its original release, and while a direct sequel seems unlikely, the trademark hints at renewed interest or a spiritual successor in the series.
