Just like last time, Midori took to X (formerly Twitter) to shed some light on Nintendo's projects and the codenames attached to them. The leaker who's best known for their insights into things like the Persona series and other Atlus games named two different codenames -- "Edward" and "Elsa" -- which currently exist for games Nintendo is working on. While those codenames don't really give away much on their own as one would hope for from a decent codename, Midori believes there are connections to be drawn between those and past codenames for other known games.
"There is a project at Nintendo with the codename Edward," the leaker said. "This might be related to the rumors of a new Zelda series title."
For those struggling to see the connection between "Edward" and the Zelda series, you're not alone. Midori explained in a follow-up tweet that the codename for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the Nintendo Switch was "Richard" which suggests a trend of monarchs or royalty in general for the newer Zelda initiatives.
The other game talked about by Midori isn't thought to be part of the Zelda series, but the conclusion about what it might be is born from similar connections between codenames.
"There is also a project at Nintendo in development with the codename Anna," Midori said. "Elsa is the codename for Nintendo Switch Sports. So this title might be related."
