The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds could be coming to Nintendo Switch Online, according to a listing spotted on Nintendo’s official website. The Nintendo 3DS title has appeared with a “Playable with Nintendo Switch Online” tag, although the company has yet to announce any plans to bring the game to the subscription service.
The tag can be found on the US version of Nintendo’s official Zelda history page, which lists the various entries in the series. Most of the other games appear to have the correct labels, although Oracle of Ages is missing its Nintendo Switch Online tag despite already being available through the service.
This inconsistency raises the possibility that the listing is simply an error. Nintendo has also not introduced Nintendo 3DS games to the service, making it difficult to determine whether the tag indicates an upcoming announcement.
Originally released on 22 November 2013 in North America and Europe, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo.
The game takes place in the same world as A Link to the Past, following Link as he travels between Hyrule and Lorule to prevent the sorcerer Yuga from resurrecting Ganon. Its gameplay introduced an item-rental system that allowed players to complete dungeons in almost any order, alongside a mechanic that lets Link merge into walls as a painting.
Nintendo Switch Online already offers several classic Zelda titles, including The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
Expansion Pack subscribers can also access Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, The Minish Cap and A Link to the Past & Four Swords. The Wind Waker is available through the GameCube library on Nintendo Switch 2.
