Following the fake rumors from today with a more than obvious E3 line-up for Nintendo, I have to say that I like the idea of bringing Skyward Sword HD to the Switch already this year. It's on my list of potential Zelda game for Nintendo Switch that would act as a filler, until the sequel to Breath of the Wild gets released. It might seem a little early, because the game will be only seven years old in November, but on the other hand Nintendo could keep riding the current Zelda hype wave and this one would be the easiest to make.
Such a remaster could be in the works at Tantalus right now, as we speak. Do some texture work, tweak some things, add some features and ready is the next Zelda title for Switch... Together with the Definitive Edition of Hyrule Warriors they would get all the port and remaster stuff out of the way, where from 2019 on we could expect new things for Zelda on the Switch.
This could also lead to a Special Edition Nintendo Switch bundle, similar to the Limited Edition of the Wii U that came with the Wind Waker HD, which would be perfect for me, since I'm still waiting for such an incentive to purchase a Switch. Skyward Sword HD would most likely focus on Joycon-powered motion controls and here it would make sense to offer a system with golden Joycons, which would be reminiscent of the golden Wiimote that came with the original version of the game. It would be nice to have and finally a reason to buy a Switch for all Zelda fans, who are still "happy" with their Wii U.
I have also a list of ideas what could be improved in a HD remaster, but more on that later.

If they just improved the motion control, that would make the game a whole lot better. I'd still prefer that they didn't.
