The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Persona 5 have been listed for the Nintendo Switch by Best Buy’s internal CoreBlue system.

Here is a break down of each listing via Gematsu:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was originally released for Super Nintendo in 1991 and was ported to Game Boy Advance in 2002. A Virtual Console version was released for Wii U in January 2014 and New 3DS in April 2016. That said, this listing is probably the strangest of the batch, being that Nintendo recently announced a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Switch.
Metroid Prime Trilogy has been rumored for Switch in the past, with Game Informer’s Imran Khan saying in January that development on the collection is “long done” and that it was originally “supposed to be announced [in December 2018].”
Persona 5 has been rumored for Switch ever since the announcement of Persona 5 protagonist Joker coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a downloadable content character. Best Buy also recently leaked the render for Joker in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Earlier today, Atlus opened a teaser website for a “Persona 5 S,” which will be revealed on April 25.

Persona 5 (Switch) is leaked via Best Buy's employee terminal. For what it's worth, I can confirm it is in Best Buy's system https://t.co/c8xOX6N34R

Cool, I hope this is true :D.
I know Metroid Prime Trilogy HD will be released eventually, probably before Metroid Prime 4. Also Zelda: Link to the Past most likely will be coming to the Switch's library (I thought it was already on the Switch). Also Persona 5 has a good chance of being on the Switch too. But I can't help but realise that Bestbuy has listed these games just a few days after IGN's April fools joke.
But even if Bestbuy has been successfully trolled by IGN, I still think these titles will be eventually getting a Switch release regardless, just like the whole Zelda series & Super Mario 3D World will probably do too.
