I'm a bit skeptical of it too.
It could be done, but that doesn't mean it will be. Don't forget that this is the same Nintendo that sold a port of Tropical Freeze for a higher price on the Switch than they did for when it was brand new on the Wii U. The fact that all these Zelda games would be enhanced versions of their originals, while the three Mario games were all direct ports means that Nintendo has some leverage to make more money with them. Also since all the remakes were made from different dev teams, could be all the more reason to split them up.
I guess splitting up a potential Ocarina of Time HD and Majora's Mask HD, and Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD into 2 collections would be fine. At this point I just want to get all 4 games since their amongst my all-time favorite games, and I don't have their original versions anymore. Though I would prefer all 4 games on one game cartridge/collection, and I think Nintendo has the ability to do that. I just don't know if they WILL.
I sadly don't think we'll be seeing that, namely because of Skyward Sword. People are already complaining that the game is going to be 60 bucks, and its one of the most divisive Zelda games around (team "skyward sword is good you guys are just mean" represent) which is definitely reflected in its sales. Do you really think they would want 4 of the MOST acclaimed games in the series, in a single package, competing on the market with it?
I played Runbow a lot on the Wii U. I actually 100%'d all of the content I found it so fun. Definitely play it with a group of friends though if you get the chance because the shenanigans can be very enjoyable.
Unless they hold off on releasing it until after Skyward Sword HD releases
It’s the Shantae support thread. But like any thread that gets big enough it just kinda becomes a social thread for news and speculation around Smash, and as long as it vaguely can tie back to supporting Shantae or discussing her chances it generally goes here.

I watched a Papagenos video covering this very topic earlier. And I agree that if this is real then it's likely gonna be a Nintendo character too. But the only other Nintendo character I can see being added now is Porky. I truly believe Pokemon Sword and Shield, as well as more Zelda characters are out due to their respective spirit events, and Waluigi is already an Assist Trophy that I don't see being upgraded, whereas Porky is STILL completely missing from the game, and it just doesn't feel right that he is. Also, I don't see him coming in a Challenger Pack since Mother's got plenty of stages, music and spirits in Ultimate already, and Porky being a bonus character would mean they don't have to worry about that to add him in.
And he'd probably being fighting in that spider-mech from Earthbound, which could make for some interesting gameplay.
I wouldn’t count pokemon out yet - Zelda doesn’t have any more MAJOR characters to add (aside from Tingle but most people aren’t ready to accept that), but having a spirit event isn’t a big deal for a first party series. It usually is a death sentence for a new third party (after all, why go through the rights negotiations to use their IP for spirits when you could hold off for a character, doing it early both wastes money on needing to do another rights dealing and spoils the surprise of the franchise’s inclusion), but first parties Nintendo can always just... add more. Especially with Pokemon, they added what, 4 spirits that include 7 of the 80+ new Pokemon this gen? However, I would say that making a Pokemon this hypothetical “free bonus” character would be unlikely just because... it’s The Pokemon Company. They charge you a yearly fee to store less than 10MB of data. They wouldnt let their brand new smash character be a free extra.I watched a Papagenos video covering this very topic earlier.

Plus, it would be another villain added to the game, which is always cool
I think the joke was that he was in the Absolutely Safe Capsule and represented by that Spirit.
I'm pretty sure I saw that the sprite used for the Absolute Safe Capsule spirit was the empty variant, which is why I think Porky's got a shot
Well, they also used a fanmade version of the Masked Man sprite, so it could have just been an oversight.
Huuuuuuuh. I guess? Granted I know next to nothing about the Mother franchise aside from doing a little history on Porky. I guess it would explain why the ASC is a Legend-Class spirit if Porky is indeed stuck inside it.
As much as I would like for all the 3D Zelda games to be in one collection, realistically, I don't think it's happening. At most, they will probably only put 3 on there like Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess similar to what they did for Mario 3D All-Stars. Think of it like Nintendo seeing us pay $20 bucks for each game. It sucks as all the 3D games should be in this cert of collection, but they skipped over Super Mario Galaxy 2, 3D Land and 3D World for 3D All-Stars so they will definitely skip over a few of the 3D Zeldas as well for it's 3D collection.
I suppose that is true. Granted I could get over Majora's Mask being cut from a potential 3D Zelda collection if it just had Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, but still, I'd love to see all 4 games on one cartridge collection. And like I said earlier, I think Nintendo has the ability to do it. I just hope they'd be willing to do it.
I honestly don't see them releasing straight ports or the original games when everyone knows that better(arguably), updated versions of each game exists. First we have to remember that Nintendo loves porting any worthwhile Wii U game to the Switch. Even Wii U games that did well could have done better with a wider audience to sell to, and all the work is already done so if WW and TP come to the Switch it will certainly be the HD versions. So they won't sell those as well as the non HD version, so direct ports of the Gamecube versions I just don't see happening.
Miitopia.
Eww, really? That's... That's very disappointing. But it would mean that they are working on updating 3DS games to be presentable in HD on the Switch. Doesn't nix the chances of Ocarina and Majora's Mask HD, but it keeps them from being a sure thing...
Same. I especially hope they add Majora's Mask to the collection as it is my favorite Zelda game.
Obviously, like you said, they would port over the HD Wii U ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to the 3D Switch collection and port over the GCN version of Ocarina of Time in 1080p to the collection as well.
Noroi, which means "curse" in Japanese, was considered as a potential boss for River City Girls. This kindhearted schoolboy would have been possessed by a malicious yokai that made him violent towards our heroines, but he never made it past the concept stage. #WayForwardSpotlight pic.twitter.com/UAcaFoz43N

So if we get to May and no info still, something is up.
Based on the cards currently shown yes. Just don't call yet.
Hopefully the Collector's Edition isn't too far behind it.
My initial thought was that the final character would come with an echo of themselves ( which would be that number 73 ). Crash with Coco for instance.
