Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it.
Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here though? Can they keep with the same new formula? Should they? Will a more traditional game feel disappointing after this?
I don’t really know what I want myself. I think they should try something different though. At the same time, I can’t help but think I’d be disappointed if the next game was more similar to something like Twilight Princess. Have they boxed themselves in?
I think it’s time for a true, mainline, spinoff.
Maybe a Xenoblade-like jrpg. Maybe a multiplayer mmorpg style game with a singleplsyer campaign. Or what about a Zelda shooter?
I just wanna see Nintendo go nuts, no matter what the Zelda fanboys say.
Edit: Also lets be honest Nintendo can’t keep up with the size of these games. BOTW took an entire console generation and so did TOTK (even though it’s based on BOTW)
