The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Anouma mentioned that the company doesn’t have anything planned for The Legend of Zelda’s 35th anniversary.
That is besides the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda and the Hyrule Warriors Expansion Pass content,
Video Games Chronicle editor Andy Robinson and other insiders noted that the Kyoto-based company were planning to port the Wii U editions of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD to the Nintendo Switch, but sadly they weren’t mentioned during the presentation.
The conveyer belt of Mario ports have totally converted my young daughters the past few months, so I'm really looking forward to introducing them to Zelda this year.

Mr. Robinson appears to be confident that the games are coming to Nintendo Switch at some point and says that Zelda fans should “sit tight.”

About The Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess HD
Travel between the worlds of light and dark to save the land of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD.
This definitive edition of the beloved adventure game features revitalised visuals that will further immerse players in its stunning landscapes and epic story.
You play as Link, a farm hand who is chosen by the gods to free the kingdom of Hyrule from the clutches of the King of Shadows, Zant, who has cursed the land with a perpetual twilight. To help him take on this new menace and break the curse that has transformed him into a wolf, Link will team up with the mysterious and mischievous Midna, a creature from a corrupted dimension called the Twilight Realm.
Travel to the far corners of Hyrule, exploring bustling villages, barren deserts and the Twilight Realm itself to seek out the powers to drive away the darkness. Overcome deadly enemies with your trusty sword and shield, attack and evade foes with cunning manoeuvres, and take on tricky puzzles with handy items like the Slingshot and the Gale Boomerang. Traverse treacherous lands on foot or by summoning your loyal steed Epona, whether to simply explore that vast landscape or engage in tense combat on horseback! Delve deep into dangerous dungeons, where threats can lurk around every corner and enormous bosses await.
To help save the land, you can use Link’s cursed form to your advantage by transforming into Wolf Link to enter the Twilight Realm. As a wolf, perform jump and spin attacks and execute special energy field strikes on multiple enemies. You’ll also harness a heightened sense of smell to sniff out quest clues and the ability to perform mighty leaps, allowing you to reach areas normally out of reach in your human form.
In addition to the main story, there are numerous exciting side-quests to tackle: grab a Fishing Rod and make the catch of the day, search for bugs spread across the land, or seek out hidden spirits called Poes! You never know, you might get something good!
Tackle your toughest challenge yet in Hero Mode, available to play from the start of the game. In this mirrored version of Hyrule, enemies will inflict twice as much damage and hearts will be less plentiful!
When battle makes you weary, you can use amiibo (sold seperately) to help you out! You can unlock a bonus challenge exclusive to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD using the Wolf Link amiibo or tap other compatible amiibo to enhance your adventure.
