I was thinking that they’ve been working on the Switch 2 Zelda game for the last 2 years while Totk was just getting polished. They made no DLC for Totk I think team 1 has been working on the next 3D Zelda game for quite a while now.

i’ve always thought they came from the ancestors of riju, sidon, and yunobo

Nintendo did not have any procedures in place for remote work. Which is why I think TOTK took so long. They easily could’ve lost a year of dev time due to that. I don’t foresee the next Zelda taking anywhere near that long.

I want The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time to go on the switch as a remake because I love that game ❤ I played that game for a while and maybe put a twist on the story instead of Gannondorf being the bad guy to be the good guy and help link with saving the princess

@cwega2463 Oh crap, here we go again with this BS, now you're starting to irritate me dude. " _I'm paying $60 and $70 bucks_ ", uh yeah, you're paying for all of the work that went into building and creating the game to make it a memorable experience, not the next Mona Lisa in a doggone art exhibit. If Nintendo games performing graphically and frame rate wise at a PC gaming machine level or comparable to the recent Xbox and/or PlayStation consoles was this major crippling issue that you're making it out to be, then there's no way the Switch would've sold as many units as it's sold. This whole " _Nintendo has no business charging $60 to $70 dollars for sub-par performance_ " melodrama is so pathetically short-sighted. I mean honestly, speaking of art, if people like you could turn outrage and strife into an art form, you'd most definitely have your Mona Lisa right there. You talk like as if Nintendo has robbed you of your finances, man, get real and grow up. Gaming is a luxury, a 1st world privilege, of which you're needlessly whining and complaining about not getting exactly what you wanted when it was never promised to you or owed to you to begin with. Its beyond asinine to begrudgingly purchase video game masterpieces when you know good and well you don't value their price based on the content in the game, but polygon count and frame rate level, which I just explained is all superficial when you really get down to the nitty gritty. In other words, graphics and frame rate themselves alone don't determine how much work, effort, resources went into a video game, and as a result, they're not the ultimate determining factor in a video game's price and intrinsic value. From what you've told me so far, you don't give a crap about how much work went into a video game's overall content and replay value, all you care about is how pretty it can look and how the frame rate can be the embodiment of " _I can't believe it's not butter_" and all that crap. It's extremely difficult to satisfy people with lofty unrealistic expectations like you. If you really expect for this upcoming Nintendo console to perform at 4K 120fps, based on a rumor no doubt, no scratch that, an outrageously unlikely rumor, then you're just setting yourself up for colossal disappointment and won't have anybody to blame but yourself. Are you this oblivious about Nintendo's design philosophy broski? Ever since after the GameCube, Nintendo has been about creating unprecedented gaming experiences with unique hardware, not about being at the forefront of raw cutting-edge horsepower and graphical fidelity and frame rate proficiency. Eventually, graphics and frame rate will reach a threshold, because there's only so many pixels and frames that the human eyes can see and process, and Nintendo has obviously been aware of this, that's another reason why console horsepower is a secondary objective on their hardware projects, not a primary objective. Look, I tried my best to remain calm about this, but I've already dealt with these spoiled moronic pushovers who has needlessly whined and groaned about the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake being at 30fps, and they blatantly refuse to acknowledge that this was a conscious and voluntary developer choice, not a oversight or a compromise, they wanted it's frame rate (30fps being more cinematic compared to 60fps) to match it's dioramic storybook visuals to accentuate the cinematic presentation. And they can make the action commands have more wider windows for 30fps, it's not impossible, and there's the simplifier and unsimplifier badges that people can use to make the action command windows more simple or more challenging respectively. It's elementary as ABC 123, and shouldn't be difficult at all to understand. Now please listen, and listen good when I say this, I don't want to talk about this any further, and I'd appreciate if you'd respect my decision, this is why I stopped engaging in discussions like this and stopped posting comments altogether, because of how volatile and hostile it can be. Have a nice life✌.

There will probably be something Zelda related early on for the sake of hype, but I hope nothing is announced TOO early again. The wait for Totk was ridiculous.

Thankfully no waiting necessary, PC has us covered thanks to emulation and what's great is there are 60fps mods, and you can choose the resolution you want also, the game looks amazing at 1080p, but you can go up to 4k+ if you have the HW.

i really need a oot remake, i know it got released on 3ds. but this game would fit so well on the switch bro i just know it.

The dragons might be the sages, dinraal is the fire sage, farosh is lighting sage and naydra is the rito sage They might have ingested them as a last resort and they go back to the depths because they get some weird memories because they have lost their memeories

They can give me a proper end game this time round, i'm hopping over to sony soon

11:40 It was a remake, not a remaster. Sorry, I'm sick of this false narrative. If you go back to interviews back in those days, they always talked about it as a remake. Also, the box art doesn't really prove anything. Mainly because the English box art is the only language that says it, and we all know NOA's marketing department has a weird relationship with these two words (I'm looking at you "Metroid Prime suposedly-just-Remaseted-except-you're-clearly-remade"). If you go to the Japanese back cover, it says 新しく描かれた, which means "newly depicted / drawn". That's closer to the idea of a remake than a remaster. This idea that the 3DS entries were just remaster mostly come from bad faith takes of a developer interview in which they said that the old N64 code was used as reference, which was somehow interpreted as it was reused, and all they did was to replace assets and make a few tweaks. First off, remaking all assets from scratch makes it to qualify as a remake already. But second, the N64 and the 3DS had very different hardwares, so just reusing the old code with minor tweaks wouldn't work at all. Not to mention that the developers in interviews said that they had to even remake some of the glitches from the old code because they were glitches fans were fond of, and they deliberately avoided them during the first few builds. The point of the Remake being made in 2011 still stands, though. It's been almost 13 years, which is the same amount of time that passed between the original and the Remake.

Phantom hourglass remake or no buy

Nah, they're the Golden Goddesses, who gave up on Godhood to become immortal dragons that watch directly over Hyrule.

Personally, I think TotK’s past is one of Hyrule’s re-foundings. Not the original founding. I think that the Ganondorf of TotK is another reincarnation after the deaths of the Ganons who kept their minds.

I doubt a new next-gen Legend of Zelda will be ready for the switch 2 launch next year Andres. Nintendo just finished the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom game for the current switch consoles. That game took years to make remember. A next generation Legend of Zelda remake for the switch 2 is possible.

It'd be risky, but personally I'd like to see full "reimaginings" of at least OoT and WW, because they had such cool cut content. OoT with the scrapped time mechanic and usable medallions, and Wind Waker with the explorable land of Hyrule and intact Great Fish Isle + it's Dungeon. I'm not sure what cut content TP had, but I could see it being reworked to better establish Zant.

I've always wondered with Nintendo doesn't create a second in-house Zelda team to work on games in parallel? It is tempting to think that they'll want to make a big splash with their Switch 2 release with some big Zelda game. I've commented before that the time it takes to make a Zelda game depends on the complexity of the innovation, but the possibility of a second team really makes me less reluctant to accept particular timelines when it comes to game dev, especially with a massive budget like this. I think literally anything could happen. Thanks for encouraging an open mind!

2027 the earliest I feel, maybe some screenshots of concept art for the new 3D Zelda in 2026 or something minimal...

hi AndresRestart

Pleeeeeeeease we need wind waker and twilight princess hd

Sorry bro I want to see Twilight Princess remake in 4K for Switch 2 and I want to see remakes of 2D-HD of Zelda link to the Past and Link between worlds

I hope the TOTK artbook gives us more cool lore like the xc3 artbook did!

Switch 2 is gonna be more of a switchpro watch

Hype really did kill TotK. Knowing it was going to be a BotW sequel while reusing the world, characters etc, i think everyone expected TotK to release in 3yrs time or sooner. Combined with the very quiet Nintendo during the 6yr development process with next to no insights or updates to the game was a mistake. It means alot to ppl to say a little something about how development is going. I hope theyll do that atleast for us next time

What if next gen Zelda game tied to the film ? Maybe a good idea in my opinion

IF WE NEED ANOTHER REMAKE IT'LL BE WIND WAKER OR TWILIGHT PRINCESS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

It's important to remember that just because a game took like 6-7 years to make doesn't mean it was ALL HANDS ON DECK for 7 straight years and everyone was working their ass off. Lots of team members move on when their work is done. The last few years of a game's development on a finished engine don't require 100% of the team's capacity to release. This means that TOTK could have been on a smaller crew riding it out to release while the remainder of developers went onto to the next game.

Nah I don’t think so, we may get some top down Zelda and that my friend would probably be amazing

I think we're due for a New 2D Zelda game, the Links Awakening Remake was quite a few years ago.

I kinda doubt that unless it is a smaller scale Zelda game remake or port.

Was thinking about the next new "Zelda" game, it was started after TOTK, which was a year ago, so roughly 2 years will have passed from TOTK release till Switch 2 launch. (Just shy by 2 months) Furukawa says dev times will get longer....so lets say the next game takes 6 years as apposed to the usual 5ish. That would mean the new Zelda game would come out halfway through the Switch 2's life span. Or closer to the 40% mark of the Switch 2's lifespan. We wouldn't SEE the new Zelda game till around the June Direct of 2026, a year AFTER Switch 2 release (okay 3 months more then one year but still) Which would mean that's 4 years of the development by that point, so we then would have the 1 year from reveal till launch at that point, so June 2027 ish is the earliest it would be out.

My expectations: 1) Switch 2 will market 4K upgrades/remasters for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. 2) Both Ocarina of Time Remake and the next 3D mainline Zelda game will be in development at the same time.

I think we’ll get a short tease at the end of the Next Gen Switch’s first year

I just want Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D on Switch. They can save a full remake for Switch 2

I hope so! I’m excited for what Nintendo has in store for the next Zelda game!

Nintendo should take the team that made the Link’s Awakening remake, and work with them to develop a new adventure in the same style, but larger and more elaborate, perhaps even adapting the resource management from BOTW and TOTK 🤔 and perhaps a similar item system, but one that co-exists with a more traditional upgrade system. Imagine if you had to solve dungeons by constructing simple single-use items like torches, bombs, pulleys, levers, traps etc instead of weapons and gear 🤔 Perhaps tie it in with the TOTK timeline, but set it in the same time as Rauru 🤔

Ocarina of Time Remake is certainly the one I want. After that Majora's Mask and TP. New Zelda Games are nice too

Cool Video.

Another thing to mention is, what have the 2d Zelda team been doing who did link between worlds?

F phantom hourglass and spirit tracks, true gamers want the minish cap

I neeeeed that master sword! And the master works! Hope they come to US soon or at least eventually. I also have a feeling there will be a lot of zelda things happening around the movie. Whether the movie release impacts the game lineups or vice versa, I think there will be a focus on Zelda during that time; also the 40th anniversary in 2026 will hopefully, be promising 🤞🏼

The Next Generation probably will launch with Warioland..

I’ll only say it once: we’ll be getting a reimagined Wind Waker on BotW engine (it’ll look and play entirely different than both Breath and Tears though) maybe not for the Switch, but that’s why WW HD is not happening

There's been speculation about a remake/remaster of an older zelda game. If I had my choice it would be either Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess. I wasn't around when Ocarina of Time and I want to play it on my switch. And Twilight Princess was tied for my first zelda game played. I can't remember if it was twilight princess or wind waker but I have lots of nostalgia for that game. I would also welcome a wind waker remake/remaster too but I doubt they would go for that game.

Nope. We atleast 4 to 5 yearsout

I kinda want another Hyrule Warriors game. Or a JRPG spinoff could be nice too.

i certainly hope so :)

Coming back after finishing the video. I can see them doing a teaser early in to the system life ie smtv and metroid prime 4 but I’m not sure about the oot remake because the would take dev time and/or developers that could be working on the new Zelda game. Not saying it won’t happen or that would like to see it but I’d rather them focus on the new than the old.

"Could A Next Gen Zelda Reveal Be Sooner Than We Think?" Nope... Next big Zelda thing is gonna be the movie... MAYBE remakes or remasters in between, but i don't expect any announcement for the next major Zelda game until after the movie comes out. Which i wouldn't expect to come until at least 2026. 2026 would be 3 years after ToTK, which would make sense for the announcement to be considering their track record. Then a release, probably 2-3 years later, so 2028 or 2029.

I DO think we’re getting something Zelda related early on im the Switch 2’s life cycle but I don’t think it’s year one. I think it makes BETTER sense to do it the second year in 2026, which will be the series 40th anniverary of the series and it’ll just be a beautiful way to celebrate the series
