I think Zelda should have a natural evolution. TLDR: Better Lore. I want the next Zelda game to stick to traditionality. However, I do not want Ocarina Of Time again. We are keeping the design from BOTW for the future of the franchise so I'll keep that in mind. I think I would just like there to be an idea for some sort of gimmick, and I think I want to not see, but HEAR Link speak. There's voice acting, Totk's writing in dialogue was scuffed to the point where I was yelling at my monitor. So maybe, perhaps, take elements from JRPG's and have a better approach to us theorists who pick apart tid bits and try to put them together cohesively. With the latest title, for me, that was sort of impossible. I like to think of making things likw writing. People will have their opinions, but when it comes down to it, you are responsible for what you decide to put on the page. JRR Tolkein wrote so much and even drew a map of the whole land in my LOTR book. I think they expected people to look at it and talk about it right? Apologies for this huge comment but I guess I want better lore. In terms of game mechanics, preferably longer lasting items or reusable or go back to NO DURABILITY. I do not like grinding in my Zelda game, So nintendo, PLEASE KEEP IT TO RUPEES. Speaking of Items and this is my last request to nintendo, Bring back heart pieces. I swear the land feels way too empty and repetitive, and maybe its the same with HP' HOWEVER, I feel more satisfied with doing all those little puzzles rather than the shrines. And I'm not going to talk about Korok seeds. They used to be my favourite species in Zelda but now they probably are on the D list now.
The five pillars of Zelda imo are Zelda 1, Link to The Past, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Breath of The Wild. Each representing an era and aspect of the franchise
I would LOVE if we get to sail again! Seeing new islands, and then that underwater community and enviornment like the depths would be amazingggg. I really want underwater exploration for the next game
Yeah because nothing fixes a world people keep complaining about being too empty and same-y like making it guaranteed to be even MORE empty and same-y by turning 90% of the planet's surface into water...
Botw link leaving hyrule to explore a massive archipelago has been a constantly evolving idea for me for a long time now and it’s kinda hilarious to see everyone wants something like that.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, But I miss the whole sequence when Link opens a chest/big chest. Something about it just felt so majestic and I was sad that they remove it in botw/totk. I say this to say that I hope they bring that back. And I really hope that they also bring back Link's classic green tunic in the next zelda game.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 I think hes referring to the fact that it wasn't part of the main story. You could go through the entire game without ever wearing a green tunic
Not an unpopular opinion at all.. opening the chests, getting a hookshot, flippers, iron boots, digging mits or whatever.. that feeling of “ahh now I can explore so much more”
I got serious Delfino Plaza vibes from the Italian coast inspired images, it could actually be a pretty cool Zelda setting! Thanks for sharing your ideas, these kinds of videos fuel my hope for a never-ending Zelda-verse.
lmao idk how to explain it so i ripped this from google: It's evocative of cola, it's fruit-forward, and it has a hint of warm spices. Dr Pepper has a certain je ne sais quoi we can't describe. There are a lot of theories about what exactly is in the soda, and one of the most prominent rumors is that it's made with prune juice@@00yiggdrasill00
I want a massive open world in the classic top-down style. Currently on a playthrough of Oracle of Ages and Seasons on virtual console and they are fantastic.
I'm kinda wishing for either a 2D or linear Zelda again. I miss how they did it with link between worlds where you could obtain every item outside of dungeons and the dungeons were a puzzle box where you used your creativity to navigate them and the items just made it easier.
Yay! I'm early. Love your work! Been here since Zelda Unknown (first Season of this channel theorizing about Breath of The Wild long before it released)
@@sup3414 Bro he has been alone in botw and totk, plus in the other games where Link have companions, only one time Zelda has been his companion, I'm okay if they actually let Link and Zelda have an actual adventure together
@@sup3414 Is not the same as having a companion like Fi, Midna, Navi, etc. Purah and the sages are more like supportive characters, not quite the same as having a character that constantly is with you and you can speak to, the sages are just holograms with powers
I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing, but it feels like every time we get a new mainline Legend Of Zelda game, they seem to ignore the fans to the point that for whatever reason, many of flaws of the previous games are either not addressed in the new games, (No underwater mechanics in either BOTW or TOTK.) or when something is addressed, you spend ages fart-arsing around with aggravating side quests just to get some piecemeal solution to the original problem. (Getting and upgrading the froggy armour.) Now, I'm in no way advocating for Nintendo to completely throw out it's open-air gameplay mechanics in the next game, just that they pay attention to what they know the Zelda community would not just like, but would actually want.
IMO I don’t think Nintendo listen to their Zelda fans at all. They create the game how they like it. Freedom and gameplay is clearly more important than a coherent story with actual progression. Bring back the more magical elements from older Zelda games and incorporate the triforce which is non existent in BOTW/TOTK. Were Zelda’s powers only a one time thing? Because in TOTK she needed a secret stone to tap into them. I didn’t care for the new abilities in TOTK the previous abilities were just as good. Same goes for the champion Abilities. Fans wanted more traditional dungeons in TOTK yet Nintendo could only manage some half arsed attempt. Water temple? It’s not a water temple if there’s only a puddle. The lightning and fire were semi decent I suppose. I really hope they make more effort with then next Zelda game I really do.
@@elsahyrule6711 To ask for more effort or more specific things is fair, I have wishes too after TOTK but I think Nintendo's handling of feedback is a bit more uncertain than that. Speculating of course. First yeah they definitely end up doing things their way, but they do look around for a general sense of what would be relevant. WW to TP, SS to BOTW, and BOTW being such a massive success signaled to them that a sequel was warranted and shouldn't be too different... though that signal maybe became noise because despite seeing very recurring complaints, that's still many millions of various players they had to aim at. I agree that their baby steps for TOTK are sometimes weird, at the same time it feels like their way to compromise with "look, we do have incredible concepts and ways to do things, but also this is still like BOTW so most of you won't feel lost". In any case I'm hopeful for them moving to a new setting and console, they need the creative space like they had going into BOTW even if not to be as revolutionary.
Imo the underwater parts in 3d zelda games was unbearable. The probably left it out because of the past complaints. I guess if they did underwater controls like Horizon forbidden west it could be bearable. Zelda games have a horrible track record with underwater levels. Be careful what you wish for
@@elsahyrule6711a few points where you could be wrong, the Tri Force does exist in BOTW/TOTK, but it takes a backseat to the story that’s established. However, you still see it on the shield and in many areas of the game, also, the Goddess Dragons exist that are directly related to the Tri force goddess. Zelda never had full control over her abilities, so touching the stone amplified what’s already there. Who is to say she can’t hone that power after TOTK, but then you run the risk of another timeline loop. I’ve been playing Zelda since the beginning of time so I get the fanboy hype, but we as fans ask for too much when it comes to our fantasies. Best you can do is apply as a game designer and help.
Since Penn and Sidon’s wife Yona is from a foreign land outside of Hyrule, my hope for the next Zelda game is we get to see Link, Zelda and the sages (Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, and Tulin) travel by sea to adventure in islands, lands and kingdoms with different monarchs and races. I’m sure Zelda would geek out about it since she is fascinated in new discoveries. And it would addd in the property conclusion to her and Link’s story.
Especially since there was sometimes two types of Zoras in the games -Sea Zoras abd River Zoras. One looked more like Fish people and the other like Creature from the Black Lagoon. I could see that as a way of showing other Zora races.
A simplification I've decided the next big 3D Zelda game needs is fewer and more satisfying challenges for adding heart containers. Instead of the 1/4 heart or orb collection format, just make longer puzzle games that test the hero/player and really earn those containers. And do the same thing for Stamina containers. And make specific locations for specific heart or stamina rewards. That would change the strategy of where to go and when for that power up, instead of just idly picking random or easier shrines to build up power. OH, and more progression markers that require a higher count of hearts or stamina to move forward, like the doors in totk or pulling the Master Sword. I've said it before, but creating a linear story told to the player regardless of the order of quest completion is possible. However the legwork becomes recording and animating the whole story for every dungeon end cut scene, and triggering the correct portion as needed. The things I believe will be in the games for the long haul are: huge maps, fast traveling, weapon diversity (and fragility), many armor sets with diverse buffs, the fighting controls, 4-5 major boss fights, climbing, stamina wheels and high heart count. The features listed are pretty much what make the "wild" era games the most memorable in my opinion. These features built into just about any better crafted story line, with more engaging stakes would be great. Will people boo it as more botw dlc? Maybe. The more I think about how they could have altered even the existing totk to be different, the more I realize that format has been barely scratched.
Oh, and if Link is gonna get four new powers again as a tutorial area, can we please just change the 'obtaining them' format something that's not exactly the same as a shrine for the rest of the game. Like, maybe a unique temple, or a ceremony? idk, just a thought. Imagine if instead of just another 4 boring tutorial shrines for totk, Link had to travel to four separate temples on four different islands, the fist being ultrahand on the Great Sky Island. Then you can build stuff to travel to other islands. Ugh, I hate that just came up with ANOTHER way to make that game so much better....
I still have not. I keep putting it down for weeks at a time, come back, find some more shrines for heart pieces (even though I probably don't need more), but I don't feel compelled enough to finish. I have all [5] temples finished, and the first stage (in the Sanctum) of the final fight done.
Still havent myself. I'm determined to do it eventually, currently explored half of each map. But it's an insane drag to play, and the writing is terrible. I play for a bit and then leave it for weeks on end. So I let my friend borrow it for now, despite him having 2 other games coming out first he wanted to get to. I'm in no rush.
@@amandaslough125 finally someone said it. The older linear style was more fun. I don't have time to be running around massive maps hoping i dont miss something. OoT was perfect.
@@TC-mk1tcnah you tripping bruh I love that open world exploration finding new areas I’ve never seen before new caves, landmarks,npc the exploration is endless & I love it tok & bow literally change gaming & open world genre forever
@@lilzim9559 how old are you roughly? It’s not meant as an insult but I generally don’t have time to be running around making sure I investigate every area or worry I missed something anymore. Ocarina of time was super nice it had the linear play but a large world to explore and secrets. When you were done you knew you had done everything. It’s just my opinion; but I love feeling like a game is complete and I also love the cartoon style and bright colours of those older games.
6:34 New protagonist styles WOULD be fantastic! 6:43 Fax. Unlike BotW, it’s unrecommended to watch the memories in any order in Tears in which you have no idea what the heck is going on.
Some of the music playing in the background had my hype. 3:25 Like hold up is that Mobb Deep?!! But it’s prob just an orchestral version of the song they sampled
some islands can have underground tunnels that keep them connected and have a long history of people using them to escape disaster but are not long forgotten
Honestly, the only thing I hope is that the next game feels different from the others. This is one thing I love about the series, how every game feels unique to play for the most part. I'd prefer to not have shrines, ultrahand, and debatably climbing anymore, I'm still on the fence about that last one. As long as the game can differentiate itself from the rest of the series, that's what I care about the most.
Nintendo doesn't really design Zelda locations this way though. They work from the gameplay out. And what would be the point of having a coastal city with narrow pathways when that will translate basically into players walking down hallways. What is really 'fun' about that in the way Nintendo understands fun?
Honestly I was really hoping for some grand underwater exploration similar to Horizon Forbidden West. If the next Nintendo console is more powerful than the Switch, I really hope that the next LoZ game is something like this
I would love to see another game with an ocean-theme! Different islands to explore, new myths to discover, not to mention the vast potentials of under-water traveling! We could see monsters like Big Octos, Biris and Baris, Gyorgs. Maybe different factions of the Zora (here I'm thinking about the enemy Zoras). The possibilities are limit-less!
You know, having Islands WOULD offer developers more controllable environments to break up the dilemma of open world land spaces letting players just waltz up to every location from totally random angles. I'd love to see this with more distinct biomes/design schemes. Windwaker mostly stuck to the tropical look, save for a few places. I also think it might be a good idea to go with some kind of distinctive, more agile way to traverse the waves this time. Instead of a dragon-shaped boat, what about an actual dragon you can ride, one that skims across the waves and allows Link to fight as if on horseback, but with even greater utility, as a dragon with a serpentine body could perform quite a variety of precise maneuvers to make striking targets far less ungainly than fighting on horseback, and could add to the destruction with its own abilities. :D
I want the Oracle games to get remade. It needs it more than Wind Waker. 0:58 Wasn't Zelda 1 also open world? I thought it was designed to be the opposite of what Super Mario Bros was. 2:52 I want to explore that. I don't want Zelda to have huge cities unless certain important areas are marked. Assassin's Creed did this well without being too overwhelming. 4:10 The ocean dried up. Return of Sea Zoras? So normal Zoras? The River ones may have evolved from them since the sage from A Link Between Worlds may be a descendant of Ruto. 4:28 I would be horrified if I saw that thing. I was hyped and amazed at how good Twilight Princess looked. What kind of art style would be between Tears and Witcher 3? Would it be like the new Prince of Persia game? That had a slightly cartoony look. 5:25 Which game is this? 5:31 A round Hylian Shield? Something feels off with Zelda looking super realistic. I don't think it should be like that.
Link's awakening 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever ! It could be a new quest to find the wind fish. Like a mix between Link's awakening and Wind waker. Sailing island to island to find the wind fish. Using Marin's power as a dream to jump in to other NPC's dreams as the new context for dungeons. Maybe even possess enemies similar to cappy in Mario or spirt tracks zelda. We could even use the power to become a seagull to fly over gaps.
I've actually been working on a concept pitch for a Zelda game exactly like this! Although I would still say it is significantly different from what is described in the video. I'm compiling all of my ideas into a word document at the moment, and as someone who is aspiring to become a game designer, my dream is to someday pitch it to Nintendo after it's complete.
While as far as i know it's not said by anyone on the Zelda team, my thought regarding the Divine Beasts layout is that the Zelda team wanted to capitalize on the fan popularity/love of the Stone Tower Temple and somewhat Forest Temple (OOT) mechanics- being able to manipulate the layout of the temple itself. I just think they leaned too heavily on those mechanics in creating the Divine Beasts (like a guitarist relying on catchy power chords to carry a song without much else charismatic going on) while the Stone Tower and Forest Temples were rich with their own charm beside that mechanic itself.
@@TheRealNintendoKid: Also, the open-ended nature of BotW eliminated a lot of the process of going through a normal Zelda dungeon. Getting around and unlocking passages just to reach the major goals in each dungeon made up for a lot of their content. While they didn't entirely remove such obstacles in Divine Beasts, a lot of them didn't matter and could be skipped easily.
I said the same for OOT, but i feel the same for Wind Waker. I think it would make even more sense with an open world remaster. We could get everything we had before, but WAY more. Cut content from the original game could come to us as well. A full fledged water dungeon and underwater areas would just be so fitting. Ship building with the king of red lions being a design on the bow of ship permanently. He could have a head in the captain's (you) quarters as well to speak to you. Even if it wasn't a wind waker reboot, I could totally see Zelda in a Sea of Thieves style, but obviously way more fleshed out as a single player game.
Here's a unique idea for the newest Zelda games Link and Ganondorf having a more personal history with each other where it's revealed Link's mom was originally going to be Ganondorf's wife but she turned down because of his ways and dark magic and chose Link's dad over him making Ganondorf's hatred of Link as more understanding since he's the son of his ex wife and Ganondorf is bitter and egoist over it and it makes sense why he threatens and targets Link the most and why he doesn't like Link since he's Ganondorf's ex wife's son. This idea looks so cool and interesting to see. Making Ganondorf Link's half uncle or something.
Traditional Dungeons, Items exclusive to them !, more enemies, no shekiah shrines, more races please and better music these games feel like skyrim with zelda skin i wanna play zelda again !
I think the Zelda team will approach their planning differently than how the ideas in this video are being framed. I think they will first think about a way to innovate. The innovation of Breath of the Wild was taking an open world game approach and allowing for climbing everywhere. The innovation of Tears was both in the verticality and Ultrahand mechanic. Both of these things were innovations on top of the open world genre format. These innovations were coupled with many of the usual sorts of things you see in open world games (e.g. towers to give you a map). I think the first thing the team will brainstorm is how they can expand upon the open world genre, if they stick to that at all (as it seems like they will based on public comments). From that, I think things like whether the world is more Wind Waker-y is a detail. Whether the world is Wind Waker-y will depend on whether this serves their innovative idea.
Return of masks… Zora’s mask: it would be fantastic to dive in every river/pond/sea of hyrule. And then add a minish cap. to enter little paths in the map and find another “map” full of several types “races” like fairies and gnomes… that would be the definitive Zelda adventure
Sea of thieves/zelda. You command a giant pirate ship. You sail that to large islands surrounded by smaller islands. You slowly upgrade the big ship. You can find different smaller water vehicles You can leave the big ship and explore at any time. Have all the old school zelda tropes by having 9 big dungeons. You find the tools in whatever order you stumble upon them. I think the would be a great base game
Hmm not too sure, there are many art concepts by creative humans who could be showcased and referenced, instead of an AI haphazardly mixing all of them with questionable ethic.
I know totk had the depths which is basically the light world and dark world in the same world but I want a game with the feeling of ALTTP that has a light world and dark world and gave u that feeling of awe
I think islands would work if they did like assassins creed and put towers you have to climb on each major island so you can fast travel back at any time
Yes this is what I want for the next game. In addition I think ship to ship combat would be great as well. This could also be a sort of soft sequel to Tears. Same art style, same Link and Zelda just put them on a ship exploring outside of Hyrule.
I love this idea all together. However, for characters, i think it would be cool to introduce a new but very connected main character. Make this story say 20 yrs later with a King Link and Queen Zelda butnthe new character is their daughter who has some mom's powers and has to learn about how to use them. But also Dad's skill and swordsmanship. Make her a younger sibling to an older Offspring thats the heir to the kingdom. Maybe make that old sibling the new "Bad Guy" or something. Or maybe still a good guy but the sister has to build up alliances with other kingdoms to reveal an even bigger threat they would all have to join forces and fight.
I'm waiting for the day we get a mods for BotW and TotK that allow underwater exploration (+ new content to go with it.) I'd also really like some mods that extend the southern border so it doesn't brush up against the damn beach in that one spot.
Oof, that's a brilliant idea. That would be a natural thing they could progress to and now they could make it really really immersive and beautiful with the current technology. Do this combined with dungeons that contain more linear puzzles with small keys etc. and you will please absolutely everyone. You can do it, Nintendo!
Konrad how about if we got just one more game tied to botw and totk. It's the same Hyrule but like 200 years after TOTK and Hyrule is FULLY RESTORED and the land is full of travelers, merchants, Blacksmiths, Shops. This FULLY RESTORED Hyrule will include new Settlements and underwater exploration with underwater temples and underwater towns. More importantly a New Link and Zelda, New King and Queen. Have time travel to where you can go back in time to visit past Links to aid u
That sounds awful. Never take me to that empty open world with nothing in it but armour and shrines. There is nothing fun to explore or discover over there. WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL AND IT WAS LAME TWICE
I would really love to see some Coop with Zelda and Link working together for once. The "rescue the princess" trope is fine, but I wanna see Zelda as an actual, capable character like she could have been in Botw and Tears.
What I miss the most is the dungeon style from other 3D Zelda games. Back when every dungeon felt like a place that was used for something else centuries ago. Back when the dungeons had a specific mechanic you had to understand, or even a specific item you needed to progress through the second half of the dungeon.
BOTW was great... I feel like we need one or two new civilizations. Would like to see the Forrest people feature more. Possibly another Kingdom / rivil or evil kingdom similar to Hyrule.
That's what I've been saying......and if we do get WW for the Switch ( soon I hope). Then we know a new open world Zelda water/island game will be on the horizon. I'm sure they are thinking about it 👍
Fantastic idea, but I think I heard somewhere that Nitendaddy has said they won't reuse the same world a third time. Also, I think you're the first ZTuber I've seen pick up on the Jomon influence, so kudos on that.
I have always wanted a story where Zelda has a brother who is a major character. Maybe someone who inherits the triforce of power, but is not evil. The evil is someone who attempts to destroy the three goddeses. To which they choose their three representatives in link zelda and her brother. Or something
The game mechanics don't lend themselves for extensive underwater gameplay. However, the creativity of the Zelda team is immense and they might be able to come up with something great.
The underground in Tears of the Kingdom should have been done with the Minish Cap. Hopefully this new one will bring back sailing and Minish cap shrinking.
I would be totally ok with them reusing the botw art style and making it the same link and zelda as botw. That way it could be a trilogy. You just have to come up with some reason why link and zelda go to this new world. That way we also wouldn’t have ganon as the villain. We beat him twice now in botw and totk so its time for a new villain. You could also still have sky islands, just not connected to the zonai anymore, they wouldn’t be huge focus point of the game but im thinking 1 big sky island with a dungeon on it and then some smaller islands. Same goes for the dephts, this new openworld can also have a depths world it would pair especially well with the underwater world where if u go deep enough in the ocean you end up in the depths with some giant creepy fish monsters. If ultrahand and the building makes a return we could even build submarines to traverse the underwater world.
I hope there will also be a diffrent villain in the next zelda game, i mean a diffrent final boss because ganon has been the final boss in every zelda game and it would be cool when there could be a diffrent final boss rather than ganon agian, same for the new 3d mario game
Genuinely believe if like one or two of these CZcamsrs did. the direction of the next main stream Zelda game it would be better then what they are doing rn…still love the things Nintendo does oc
Something that i thought was a badass idea make a zelda game called THE-LEGEND-ZELDA,-CURSE-OF-FIERCE-DEITY takes place 5 years after the fight with ganon in twilight princess since the time line of Majora's mask is just a 100 years later. Therefore, the mask of the Fierce deity is around hyrule we still don't much about the happy mask sells men?
Also bring bag Bag and pouch upgrades, and permanent equipment like the claw shot which could also be upgraded to be used for quick access to high ledges, the top of trees and grab walls it could swing left n right to Gain hight momentum and traditional dungeons need a comeback
My prediction is the next Zelda release will be an upgraded version of TotK for the Switch 2, with Master Mode and maybe even some new story adventures. They said no DLC, but if it's the "deluxe" version for a new system then it's not DLC, and it will surely bring hastier adoption of the new system by Zelda fans.
I definitely see an upgrade patch, the engine is probably just ready for higher performance. However I think that they're _done_ done in terms of content, considering they've spent over a decade on this iteration already, capitalized very well, and all their creative effort for main line games are likely to be required sooner than later for a heavy hitter ready not too far into the next console's life span. If they did come back for TOTK content, not sure how well it would go: BOTW had everything set up near release and while nice, it wasn't too substantial, but people mostly understood how massive this first take was already. With payed content TOTK can't go too deep in story or world building which since release have been criticized for being quite lackluster in the base game, and it's risky to push DLC for what is often referred to as a huge BOTW expansion. A master mode would either be as superficial as in BOTW, or more time-consuming and I'd rather they just move on for good...
What do you want the next Open-World Zelda to be?
I really want a game with Sky, surface and depths Plus we have sheikah techniques also
7:00 this game on switch 🤗
A return to Toon Link with a sequel to Spirit Tracks
Idk but maybe please less cars/airplanes and more Loftwings
I think Zelda should have a natural evolution. TLDR: Better Lore.
I want the next Zelda game to stick to traditionality. However, I do not want Ocarina Of Time again. We are keeping the design from BOTW for the future of the franchise so I'll keep that in mind. I think I would just like there to be an idea for some sort of gimmick, and I think I want to not see, but HEAR Link speak.

Wind Waker still looks great all these years later. It's a timeless classic!

The five pillars of Zelda imo are Zelda 1, Link to The Past, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Breath of The Wild. Each representing an era and aspect of the franchise
Same with Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. (Plz don’t hate me for saying that)
And it's better than tp
@@greenlight2323 i wouldn't say bthat
An island-hopping Zelda with BOTW/TOTK physics and underwater exploration would be a dream game!
Ideally TOTK would have been a proper equivalent of a sea with island-hoping in the sky, but it hardly had enough 😔
I would LOVE if we get to sail again! Seeing new islands, and then that underwater community and enviornment like the depths would be amazingggg. I really want underwater exploration for the next game
A logical next step would be to apply the BotW open-world formula to a Thw Wind Waker-esque game.
Underwater Zelda when?
@@chuckchan4127 It wasn't much but I miss being able to dive like we were able in Ocarina of Time
I would love an even bigger expansive ocean and exploring islands like that. Would be so cool with today’s mechanics
Yeah because nothing fixes a world people keep complaining about being too empty and same-y like making it guaranteed to be even MORE empty and same-y by turning 90% of the planet's surface into water...
Botw link leaving hyrule to explore a massive archipelago has been a constantly evolving idea for me for a long time now and it’s kinda hilarious to see everyone wants something like that.
Same I’ve wanted a black flag type Zelda game since breath of the wild came out
I know this is an unpopular opinion, But I miss the whole sequence when Link opens a chest/big chest. Something about it just felt so majestic and I was sad that they remove it in botw/totk.
I say this to say that I hope they bring that back. And I really hope that they also bring back Link's classic green tunic in the next zelda game.
Link's green tunic was already in BOTW and TOTK. Several versions in fact.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 I think hes referring to the fact that it wasn't part of the main story. You could go through the entire game without ever wearing a green tunic
Not an unpopular opinion at all.. opening the chests, getting a hookshot, flippers, iron boots, digging mits or whatever.. that feeling of “ahh now I can explore so much more”

I want a massive open world in the classic top-down style. Currently on a playthrough of Oracle of Ages and Seasons on virtual console and they are fantastic.
I'm kinda wishing for either a 2D or linear Zelda again. I miss how they did it with link between worlds where you could obtain every item outside of dungeons and the dungeons were a puzzle box where you used your creativity to navigate them and the items just made it easier.
Yay! I'm early. Love your work! Been here since Zelda Unknown (first Season of this channel theorizing about Breath of The Wild long before it released)
as much as i love the wind waker, i feel like we don't need a new one, it's great as is
I would love a new ocean based Zelda game
Will Zelda and Link journey together this time around? Plus a playable Princess Zelda we have been waiting for since Skyward Sword.
Please no more of them together. Let Link be a lone wolf again.
@@sup3414 Bro he has been alone in botw and totk, plus in the other games where Link have companions, only one time Zelda has been his companion, I'm okay if they actually let Link and Zelda have an actual adventure together
@@leonardomartinez6887 Seriously? You call Link having the help of the young decendant sages and Purah in TOTK "alone"?
@@sup3414 Is not the same as having a companion like Fi, Midna, Navi, etc. Purah and the sages are more like supportive characters, not quite the same as having a character that constantly is with you and you can speak to, the sages are just holograms with powers
The Zelda Team has the most freedom that they have ever had before and I am so excited to even get a glimpse of what is to come.
This would be so fun, imagine standing atop hurdle castle and seeing cities dotted along an open ocean, or a populated town, amazing!
I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing, but it feels like every time we get a new mainline Legend Of Zelda game, they seem to ignore the fans to the point that for whatever reason, many of flaws of the previous games are either not addressed in the new games, (No underwater mechanics in either BOTW or TOTK.) or when something is addressed, you spend ages fart-arsing around with aggravating side quests just to get some piecemeal solution to the original problem. (Getting and upgrading the froggy armour.) Now, I'm in no way advocating for Nintendo to completely throw out it's open-air gameplay mechanics in the next game, just that they pay attention to what they know the Zelda community would not just like, but would actually want.
IMO I don’t think Nintendo listen to their Zelda fans at all. They create the game how they like it. Freedom and gameplay is clearly more important than a coherent story with actual progression. Bring back the more magical elements from older Zelda games and incorporate the triforce which is non existent in BOTW/TOTK. Were Zelda’s powers only a one time thing? Because in TOTK she needed a secret stone to tap into them. I didn’t care for the new abilities in TOTK the previous abilities were just as good. Same goes for the champion
Abilities. Fans wanted more traditional dungeons in TOTK yet Nintendo could only manage some half arsed attempt. Water temple? It’s not a water temple if there’s only a puddle. The lightning and fire were semi decent I suppose. I really hope they make more effort with then next Zelda game I really do.
@@elsahyrule6711 To ask for more effort or more specific things is fair, I have wishes too after TOTK but I think Nintendo's handling of feedback is a bit more uncertain than that. Speculating of course. First yeah they definitely end up doing things their way, but they do look around for a general sense of what would be relevant. WW to TP, SS to BOTW, and BOTW being such a massive success signaled to them that a sequel was warranted and shouldn't be too different... though that signal maybe became noise because despite seeing very recurring complaints, that's still many millions of various players they had to aim at. I agree that their baby steps for TOTK are sometimes weird, at the same time it feels like their way to compromise with "look, we do have incredible concepts and ways to do things, but also this is still like BOTW so most of you won't feel lost". In any case I'm hopeful for them moving to a new setting and console, they need the creative space like they had going into BOTW even if not to be as revolutionary.
Imo the underwater parts in 3d zelda games was unbearable. The probably left it out because of the past complaints. I guess if they did underwater controls like Horizon forbidden west it could be bearable. Zelda games have a horrible track record with underwater levels. Be careful what you wish for
@@elsahyrule6711a few points where you could be wrong, the Tri Force does exist in BOTW/TOTK, but it takes a backseat to the story that’s established. However, you still see it on the shield and in many areas of the game, also, the Goddess Dragons exist that are directly related to the Tri force goddess. Zelda never had full control over her abilities, so touching the stone amplified what’s already there. Who is to say she can’t hone that power after TOTK, but then you run the risk of another timeline loop. I’ve been playing Zelda since the beginning of time so I get the fanboy hype, but we as fans ask for too much when it comes to our fantasies. Best you can do is apply as a game designer and help.
Since Penn and Sidon’s wife Yona is from a foreign land outside of Hyrule, my hope for the next Zelda game is we get to see Link, Zelda and the sages (Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, and Tulin) travel by sea to adventure in islands, lands and kingdoms with different monarchs and races.
I’m sure Zelda would geek out about it since she is fascinated in new discoveries. And it would addd in the property conclusion to her and Link’s story.
Especially since there was sometimes two types of Zoras in the games -Sea Zoras abd River Zoras. One looked more like Fish people and the other like Creature from the Black Lagoon. I could see that as a way of showing other Zora races.
I love the concepts you proposed. I hope someone at Nintendo sees this video 🙏🏾
A simplification I've decided the next big 3D Zelda game needs is fewer and more satisfying challenges for adding heart containers. Instead of the 1/4 heart or orb collection format, just make longer puzzle games that test the hero/player and really earn those containers. And do the same thing for Stamina containers. And make specific locations for specific heart or stamina rewards. That would change the strategy of where to go and when for that power up, instead of just idly picking random or easier shrines to build up power. OH, and more progression markers that require a higher count of hearts or stamina to move forward, like the doors in totk or pulling the Master Sword.
I've said it before, but creating a linear story told to the player regardless of the order of quest completion is possible. However the legwork becomes recording and animating the whole story for every dungeon end cut scene, and triggering the correct portion as needed.
The things I believe will be in the games for the long haul are: huge maps, fast traveling, weapon diversity (and fragility), many armor sets with diverse buffs, the fighting controls, 4-5 major boss fights, climbing, stamina wheels and high heart count. The features listed are pretty much what make the "wild" era games the most memorable in my opinion. These features built into just about any better crafted story line, with more engaging stakes would be great. Will people boo it as more botw dlc? Maybe. The more I think about how they could have altered even the existing totk to be different, the more I realize that format has been barely scratched.
Oh, and if Link is gonna get four new powers again as a tutorial area, can we please just change the 'obtaining them' format something that's not exactly the same as a shrine for the rest of the game. Like, maybe a unique temple, or a ceremony? idk, just a thought. Imagine if instead of just another 4 boring tutorial shrines for totk, Link had to travel to four separate temples on four different islands, the fist being ultrahand on the Great Sky Island. Then you can build stuff to travel to other islands. Ugh, I hate that just came up with ANOTHER way to make that game so much better....
Did some people really not ever get to the final battle in the sky in Tears!?
I still have not. I keep putting it down for weeks at a time, come back, find some more shrines for heart pieces (even though I probably don't need more), but I don't feel compelled enough to finish. I have all [5] temples finished, and the first stage (in the Sanctum) of the final fight done.
Still havent myself. I'm determined to do it eventually, currently explored half of each map. But it's an insane drag to play, and the writing is terrible. I play for a bit and then leave it for weeks on end. So I let my friend borrow it for now, despite him having 2 other games coming out first he wanted to get to. I'm in no rush.
@@amandaslough125 finally someone said it. The older linear style was more fun. I don't have time to be running around massive maps hoping i dont miss something. OoT was perfect.
@@TC-mk1tcnah you tripping bruh I love that open world exploration finding new areas I’ve never seen before new caves, landmarks,npc the exploration is endless & I love it tok & bow literally change gaming & open world genre forever
@@lilzim9559 how old are you roughly? It’s not meant as an insult but I generally don’t have time to be running around making sure I investigate every area or worry I missed something anymore. Ocarina of time was super nice it had the linear play but a large world to explore and secrets. When you were done you knew you had done everything. It’s just my opinion; but I love feeling like a game is complete and I also love the cartoon style and bright colours of those older games.
6:34 New protagonist styles WOULD be fantastic!
6:43 Fax. Unlike BotW, it’s unrecommended to watch the memories in any order in Tears in which you have no idea what the heck is going on.
Ganon suddenly gains a huge amount of power. Did I miss a page?
Some of the music playing in the background had my hype. 3:25 Like hold up is that Mobb Deep?!! But it’s prob just an orchestral version of the song they sampled
I'm definitely down for what you're selling here...
some islands can have underground tunnels that keep them connected and have a long history of people using them to escape disaster but are not long forgotten
Honestly, the only thing I hope is that the next game feels different from the others. This is one thing I love about the series, how every game feels unique to play for the most part. I'd prefer to not have shrines, ultrahand, and debatably climbing anymore, I'm still on the fence about that last one. As long as the game can differentiate itself from the rest of the series, that's what I care about the most.
Nintendo doesn't really design Zelda locations this way though. They work from the gameplay out. And what would be the point of having a coastal city with narrow pathways when that will translate basically into players walking down hallways. What is really 'fun' about that in the way Nintendo understands fun?
I like your ideas, I would expand by much more the size of the map if we would get sea in it.
They should add mask powers from Majoras, then allow exploring from Caves to air to sea.
3:03
"Gerdudo" desert is truely a desert to ever desert
Honestly I was really hoping for some grand underwater exploration similar to Horizon Forbidden West. If the next Nintendo console is more powerful than the Switch, I really hope that the next LoZ game is something like this
I love this idea SO much
I would love to see another game with an ocean-theme! Different islands to explore, new myths to discover, not to mention the vast potentials of under-water traveling!
We could see monsters like Big Octos, Biris and Baris, Gyorgs. Maybe different factions of the Zora (here I'm thinking about the enemy Zoras).
The possibilities are limit-less!
You know, having Islands WOULD offer developers more controllable environments to break up the dilemma of open world land spaces letting players just waltz up to every location from totally random angles. I'd love to see this with more distinct biomes/design schemes. Windwaker mostly stuck to the tropical look, save for a few places.
I also think it might be a good idea to go with some kind of distinctive, more agile way to traverse the waves this time. Instead of a dragon-shaped boat, what about an actual dragon you can ride, one that skims across the waves and allows Link to fight as if on horseback, but with even greater utility, as a dragon with a serpentine body could perform quite a variety of precise maneuvers to make striking targets far less ungainly than fighting on horseback, and could add to the destruction with its own abilities. :D
I want the Oracle games to get remade. It needs it more than Wind Waker.
0:58 Wasn't Zelda 1 also open world? I thought it was designed to be the opposite of what Super Mario Bros was. 2:52 I want to explore that. I don't want Zelda to have huge cities unless certain important areas are marked. Assassin's Creed did this well without being too overwhelming.
4:10 The ocean dried up.
Return of Sea Zoras? So normal Zoras? The River ones may have evolved from them since the sage from A Link Between Worlds may be a descendant of Ruto. 4:28 I would be horrified if I saw that thing.
I was hyped and amazed at how good Twilight Princess looked.
What kind of art style would be between Tears and Witcher 3? Would it be like the new Prince of Persia game? That had a slightly cartoony look. 5:25 Which game is this? 5:31 A round Hylian Shield?
Something feels off with Zelda looking super realistic. I don't think it should be like that.
Great concept. I hope they bring back dungeons and dungeon bosses with item unlocks that help you advance in the game.
bro is describing something i doubt even the switch successor will be able to display.
A great idea. Would be an ultimate experience.
This would be awesome. I was really disappointed TOTK didn't have any underwater gameplay.
Link's awakening 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever ! It could be a new quest to find the wind fish. Like a mix between Link's awakening and Wind waker. Sailing island to island to find the wind fish. Using Marin's power as a dream to jump in to other NPC's dreams as the new context for dungeons. Maybe even possess enemies similar to cappy in Mario or spirt tracks zelda. We could even use the power to become a seagull to fly over gaps.
I've actually been working on a concept pitch for a Zelda game exactly like this! Although I would still say it is significantly different from what is described in the video. I'm compiling all of my ideas into a word document at the moment, and as someone who is aspiring to become a game designer, my dream is to someday pitch it to Nintendo after it's complete.
While as far as i know it's not said by anyone on the Zelda team, my thought regarding the Divine Beasts layout is that the Zelda team wanted to capitalize on the fan popularity/love of the Stone Tower Temple and somewhat Forest Temple (OOT) mechanics- being able to manipulate the layout of the temple itself. I just think they leaned too heavily on those mechanics in creating the Divine Beasts (like a guitarist relying on catchy power chords to carry a song without much else charismatic going on) while the Stone Tower and Forest Temples were rich with their own charm beside that mechanic itself.
the problem wasn't those mechanics, it was the fact that the dungeons were way too short and barely had any enemies in them.
@@TheRealNintendoKidIt was also a problem that _each_ of the main dungeons featured the same gimmick and aesthetic, instead of like 1 or 2.
@@TheRealNintendoKid: Also, the open-ended nature of BotW eliminated a lot of the process of going through a normal Zelda dungeon. Getting around and unlocking passages just to reach the major goals in each dungeon made up for a lot of their content. While they didn't entirely remove such obstacles in Divine Beasts, a lot of them didn't matter and could be skipped easily.
I love this!
I said the same for OOT, but i feel the same for Wind Waker. I think it would make even more sense with an open world remaster. We could get everything we had before, but WAY more. Cut content from the original game could come to us as well. A full fledged water dungeon and underwater areas would just be so fitting. Ship building with the king of red lions being a design on the bow of ship permanently. He could have a head in the captain's (you) quarters as well to speak to you. Even if it wasn't a wind waker reboot, I could totally see Zelda in a Sea of Thieves style, but obviously way more fleshed out as a single player game.
Here's a unique idea for the newest Zelda games Link and Ganondorf having a more personal history with each other where it's revealed Link's mom was originally going to be Ganondorf's wife but she turned down because of his ways and dark magic and chose Link's dad over him making Ganondorf's hatred of Link as more understanding since he's the son of his ex wife and Ganondorf is bitter and egoist over it and it makes sense why he threatens and targets Link the most and why he doesn't like Link since he's Ganondorf's ex wife's son.
This idea looks so cool and interesting to see.
Making Ganondorf Link's half uncle or something.
Traditional Dungeons, Items exclusive to them !, more enemies, no shekiah shrines, more races please and better music these games feel like skyrim with zelda skin i wanna play zelda again !
You got link awakening remake
@@cristiany140 I generally don't play the handheld games as much even though it technically 3d , minish cap is one of my favorites though all time
First Comment. First like, as it should be. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO! KEEP IT GOING! Fan since 2018!🤣🤣
4 layer adventure. Depths, underwater hyrule and caves, above the sea and the sky islands.
I think the Zelda team will approach their planning differently than how the ideas in this video are being framed. I think they will first think about a way to innovate.
The innovation of Breath of the Wild was taking an open world game approach and allowing for climbing everywhere. The innovation of Tears was both in the verticality and Ultrahand mechanic.
Both of these things were innovations on top of the open world genre format. These innovations were coupled with many of the usual sorts of things you see in open world games (e.g. towers to give you a map).
I think the first thing the team will brainstorm is how they can expand upon the open world genre, if they stick to that at all (as it seems like they will based on public comments). From that, I think things like whether the world is more Wind Waker-y is a detail. Whether the world is Wind Waker-y will depend on whether this serves their innovative idea.
Return of masks… Zora’s mask: it would be fantastic to dive in every river/pond/sea of hyrule. And then add a minish cap. to enter little paths in the map and find another “map” full of several types “races” like fairies and gnomes… that would be the definitive Zelda adventure
If it’s this concept, I could picture a title along the lines of The Legend of Zelda: Beyond!
Sea of thieves/zelda. You command a giant pirate ship. You sail that to large islands surrounded by smaller islands. You slowly upgrade the big ship. You can find different smaller water vehicles You can leave the big ship and explore at any time. Have all the old school zelda tropes by having 9 big dungeons. You find the tools in whatever order you stumble upon them. I think the would be a great base game
Great use of Ai art, it looked amazing and really helped me see your vision.
Hmm not too sure, there are many art concepts by creative humans who could be showcased and referenced, instead of an AI haphazardly mixing all of them with questionable ethic.
I’ve always wanted a dark Zelda spinoff about the shieka and possibly the origin of Majoras mask, maybe without link but the same OG mechanics
Keep up the good work, Commonwealth! I hope you’re doing alright.
I know totk had the depths which is basically the light world and dark world in the same world but I want a game with the feeling of ALTTP that has a light world and dark world and gave u that feeling of awe
The Zoras mentioned Prince’s Girlfriend coming from ‘distant waters’
I think islands would work if they did like assassins creed and put towers you have to climb on each major island so you can fast travel back at any time
Yes this is what I want for the next game. In addition I think ship to ship combat would be great as well.
This could also be a sort of soft sequel to Tears. Same art style, same Link and Zelda just put them on a ship exploring outside of Hyrule.
They should another couple of dungeons in windwaker had a few more islands to explore..
I love this idea all together. However, for characters, i think it would be cool to introduce a new but very connected main character. Make this story say 20 yrs later with a King Link and Queen Zelda butnthe new character is their daughter who has some mom's powers and has to learn about how to use them. But also Dad's skill and swordsmanship. Make her a younger sibling to an older Offspring thats the heir to the kingdom. Maybe make that old sibling the new "Bad Guy" or something. Or maybe still a good guy but the sister has to build up alliances with other kingdoms to reveal an even bigger threat they would all have to join forces and fight.
Link to the Past 2D remake. Windwaker. Twilight princess. For the switch and ill be happy. Even Oracle of ages. I can wait for the new installment
I'm waiting for the day we get a mods for BotW and TotK that allow underwater exploration (+ new content to go with it.)
I'd also really like some mods that extend the southern border so it doesn't brush up against the damn beach in that one spot.
I'd like to see the Elements from Ocarina of Time return. I miss Light and Shadow. Forest and Spirit would be cool too.
If there are pirate ships to fight, heck yes.
Oof, that's a brilliant idea. That would be a natural thing they could progress to and now they could make it really really immersive and beautiful with the current technology.
Do this combined with dungeons that contain more linear puzzles with small keys etc. and you will please absolutely everyone.
You can do it, Nintendo!
Konrad how about if we got just one more game tied to botw and totk. It's the same Hyrule but like 200 years after TOTK and Hyrule is FULLY RESTORED and the land is full of travelers, merchants, Blacksmiths, Shops. This FULLY RESTORED Hyrule will include new Settlements and underwater exploration with underwater temples and underwater towns. More importantly a New Link and Zelda, New King and Queen. Have time travel to where you can go back in time to visit past Links to aid u
That sounds awful. Never take me to that empty open world with nothing in it but armour and shrines. There is nothing fun to explore or discover over there. WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL AND IT WAS LAME TWICE
I would really love to see some Coop with Zelda and Link working together for once. The "rescue the princess" trope is fine, but I wanna see Zelda as an actual, capable character like she could have been in Botw and Tears.
As long as there’s no weapon durability I’ll be happy.
oh you tore this
What I miss the most is the dungeon style from other 3D Zelda games. Back when every dungeon felt like a place that was used for something else centuries ago. Back when the dungeons had a specific mechanic you had to understand, or even a specific item you needed to progress through the second half of the dungeon.
BOTW was great... I feel like we need one or two new civilizations. Would like to see the Forrest people feature more. Possibly another Kingdom / rivil or evil kingdom similar to Hyrule.
i want an oot like game with botw physics in the overowlrd and ability to do dungeons in any order
That's what I've been saying......and if we do get WW for the Switch ( soon I hope). Then we know a new open world Zelda water/island game will be on the horizon. I'm sure they are thinking about it 👍
Fantastic idea, but I think I heard somewhere that Nitendaddy has said they won't reuse the same world a third time. Also, I think you're the first ZTuber I've seen pick up on the Jomon influence, so kudos on that.
I have always wanted a story where Zelda has a brother who is a major character. Maybe someone who inherits the triforce of power, but is not evil.
The evil is someone who attempts to destroy the three goddeses. To which they choose their three representatives in link zelda and her brother. Or something
The game mechanics don't lend themselves for extensive underwater gameplay. However, the creativity of the Zelda team is immense and they might be able to come up with something great.
Are those AI generated images?
I believe yes and that he mentioned it in an earlier video some months ago.
Looks like it 🤮
I missed you bro ❤
3:02 ah yes... *GERDUDO*
Id love to get a pirate ship simialar to the black pearl from kingdom hearts 3.
The underground in Tears of the Kingdom should have been done with the Minish Cap. Hopefully this new one will bring back sailing and Minish cap shrinking.
I would be totally ok with them reusing the botw art style and making it the same link and zelda as botw. That way it could be a trilogy. You just have to come up with some reason why link and zelda go to this new world. That way we also wouldn’t have ganon as the villain. We beat him twice now in botw and totk so its time for a new villain. You could also still have sky islands, just not connected to the zonai anymore, they wouldn’t be huge focus point of the game but im thinking 1 big sky island with a dungeon on it and then some smaller islands. Same goes for the dephts, this new openworld can also have a depths world it would pair especially well with the underwater world where if u go deep enough in the ocean you end up in the depths with some giant creepy fish monsters. If ultrahand and the building makes a return we could even build submarines to traverse the underwater world.
I hope there will also be a diffrent villain in the next zelda game, i mean a diffrent final boss because ganon has been the final boss in every zelda game and it would be cool when there could be a diffrent final boss rather than ganon agian, same for the new 3d mario game
I wouldnt mind a new zelda games that takes place in spirit tracks new hyrule but plays more like wind waker with an open world to explore
i would love a sequel to wind waker!!!
Genuinely believe if like one or two of these CZcamsrs did. the direction of the next main stream Zelda game it would be better then what they are doing rn…still love the things Nintendo does oc
tbh i really miss linear zeldas i need that nostalgia back lol
Bring back the ability from Majora where we are able to change into a Goron or a Zora with a Mask.
If they make another ocean game we need fishing. I wish Windwaker have fishing in its vast sea.
Something that i thought was a badass idea make a zelda game called THE-LEGEND-ZELDA,-CURSE-OF-FIERCE-DEITY takes place 5 years after the fight with ganon in twilight princess since the time line of Majora's mask is just a 100 years later. Therefore, the mask of the Fierce deity is around hyrule we still don't much about the happy mask sells men?
Also bring bag Bag and pouch upgrades, and permanent equipment like the claw shot which could also be upgraded to be used for quick access to high ledges, the top of trees and grab walls it could swing left n right to Gain hight momentum and traditional dungeons need a comeback
The Legend of Zelda: Call of the Sea
My prediction is the next Zelda release will be an upgraded version of TotK for the Switch 2, with Master Mode and maybe even some new story adventures. They said no DLC, but if it's the "deluxe" version for a new system then it's not DLC, and it will surely bring hastier adoption of the new system by Zelda fans.
I definitely see an upgrade patch, the engine is probably just ready for higher performance. However I think that they're _done_ done in terms of content, considering they've spent over a decade on this iteration already, capitalized very well, and all their creative effort for main line games are likely to be required sooner than later for a heavy hitter ready not too far into the next console's life span.
If they did come back for TOTK content, not sure how well it would go: BOTW had everything set up near release and while nice, it wasn't too substantial, but people mostly understood how massive this first take was already. With payed content TOTK can't go too deep in story or world building which since release have been criticized for being quite lackluster in the base game, and it's risky to push DLC for what is often referred to as a huge BOTW expansion. A master mode would either be as superficial as in BOTW, or more time-consuming and I'd rather they just move on for good...
All of this but I still want Sky Islands with SkyLoft aspects.
We need 7-10 dungeons and 0 shrines
I want a steampunk zelda game set in the universe of botw and totk, maybe we'll have new reincarnated link and zelda there
Yo as a world builder I appreciated seeing inkcarnate on here
Wonder draft is so much better.
I like the idea but I doubt it right now.
