- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came out May 12, 2023 and now no one knows what's next for Zelda games! In this video, Parker looks at every reasonable option for what new Zelda games, Zelda shows or Zelda movies could come to the Nintendo Switch or Zelda games on Nintendo's next generation console after Tears of the Kingdom! Could Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD come to the Nintendo Switch as a double pack? Could a new 2D Zelda game come? What does 3D zelda look like after Tears of the Kingdom? Let's talk about it!

I hope the next open world Zelda will take place in lands beyond Hyrule, and is about collecting the triforce to stop a new evil. Since ToTK felt like a realization of Skyward Sword’s vision, I hope the next Zelda realizes Windwaker’s vision of sailing a vast ocean of enormous islands.
Yeah I agree! I would love a Zelda game with an entirely different art style and a focus on the triforce because, narratively, it hasn't shown up much in the most recent games (Totk and Botw)
The funny thing is that up until the actual open-world Zelda’s (meaning Zelda 1 does not count), the Triforce was taken to be a necessary component of a Zelda game that was mainstream and did not have Vaati as a main villain.
But there's still 3/4 of the continent to explore. They sketched the rest in on BotW, added way more detail to those unplayable areas in TotK. I wanna see that explored before sailing out to find new lands.
I think it'd be cool to have a massive landmass of Termina, Holodrum, Labrynna, and Great Fish Island. Have Termina in the middle, Holodrum in the south, Labrynna in the North, and GFI in the West. Maybe some other desert-y land in the East. Does it make sense lore-wise? Probably not. Has that ever stopped them before? Definitely not.
Mintiendo should mine this community for ideas.
I'd love to see a new world to explore like in Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker. We could really use a break after 2 straight games exploring a recognizable Hyrule map.
I will say, I was surprised to find map fatigue to be less of a problem than I expected it would be in TotK. But I think that's because the way you traverse it is very different. In BotW, exploring the map was generally part of the challenge, with it not always being straightforward how to get around. In TotK, by comparison, you're mostly just flying around to get to new areas, which really just speeds up getting to all the new content. There's much less ground exploration because it's so easy to get around. I barely even use my horse anymore. Plus, the Depths do add back some of that ground exploration if you still wanted that.
But yeah, they really need a new map for the next one to keep it fresh.
I agree, it's time to move on from this version of hyrule.
Woah, 2 straight games lol. I agree we should head off to distant lands, but 2 games in Hyrule isn't as crazy as you're portraying.
@@jamesn31222 identical maps? Yeah I’d be annoyed if we come back here for a third time
@@dave4054I think a sequel here in terms of the land mark was fine at best but I would be annoyed to if we came back for a third time. I think Nintendo wants to stick with the open world zelda formula for a bit and I also think one of the main leads for totk already knows what he wants for the next zelda game so I'm hoping he doesn't know what he wants to do with the same hyrule but instead a different a game.
Where does it go from here:
On hiatus.
I would love a TOTK but from Zelda’s perspective. Imagine her exploring ancient Hyrule before it was destroyed by the demon king! Working with Misko to make armor and hide it for Link in the future. There could be moments of Ganondorf being an ally that hasn’t betrayed King Rauru yet or reawakening sages to help fight Ganandorf after he betrays. I’d love all of Zelda’s studying and research to be made use of while getting to see Hyrule in all its glory.
@neilshearer: A Zelda game that’s actually about Zelda would be cool!
SPOILERS
I want a game where you just play as a dragon for like millions of years
Zelda's contribution in totk is a perfect setup for another warriors game.
This is the worst idea for a Zelda game I've ever heard in my entire life.
That's a great idea. Or even better, the first part of the game is Zelda exploring ancient Hyrule leading up to the draconification, and the second part could be some type of joined adventure with Link, taking place just after TotK.
I don’t know what is coming next, but at the top of my wishlist is a new 2D Zelda. It’s been way too long since we’ve had one.
I mean I get a remake of a 2d game but definitely not a new one
2d Zelda's are massively outdated we don't need more Nintendo should not waste there time on the 2d Zelda games and work on the new 3d Zelda game
I almost said nah thats dumb, but then I remembered i have played zero 2d zeldas lol.
@@vanimapermai2d zeldas are peak zelda
@@emilyiscool891 don't get me wrong the 2d Zelda's that have come out have been good and I've even completed a few of them but 3d Zelda games are always better
Its the same with mario had they not been working on mario wonder they could have released the trailer for odyssey 2 or something and we wouldn't of had to of seen stupid shit like elephant mario.
I totally agree with you that it's time for a new non-Hyrule game. It's been 7-16 years since they last ventured outside Hyrule, depending on how strict you are about definitions, and games like Phantom Hourglass and Tri Force Heroes do a good job at making the world feel bigger than the sounds of the map.
I would love a 1.5D game. Where it's lines, but the lines curve and overlap. Sorta like that of a side scrolling graph.
😏
Got the inside scoop, I see…
I would prefer 3.5D so that we get the occasional line that doesn't know where in time it is supposed to be.
I’d either like a third installment in this series or something brand new but scaled way down. Something that still feels like a big game but with a much more centralized experience.
Age of Calamity is ‘technically’ a third installment. But I agree. I love this word too much I want another one as well.
@@Madeoftea AOC is not even a zelda game, it's a warriors game taking place IN hyrule
I think the LoZ WW|TP double pack release is the most likely to happen next. However, I'm unsure about that that $70 pricepoint. While I do believe Ninty would charge a "higher" price for the double pack than they did for Pikmin 1+2, I think it would be at $60 🤔
What I would love to see is a Super Zelda All-Stars type game for all the "2-D" games like they did for the original 4 Super Mario Bros games.
I’d love to see Grezzo tackle a remaster of Minish Cap or Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks, personally. The two DS games in particular are very nostalgic to me, would love to see them return
Phantom hourglass and spirit tracks I could see, but minish cap, I think the 2d style of minish cap suits it
Oh my gosh I would love a Minish Cap remake!!! That game is so good and underrated!!! Oooo, and maybe even a remake of the original Four Swords as a bonus mode!!! (It's not like the original Four Swords is even a big game at all and it was a base for Minish Cap after all, with Minish Cap basically being a Four Swords prequel, and plus Grezzo worked on Four Swords Anniversary Edition before, so they already have experience with that game)
I'm not sure how Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks would work since they rely on the DS touchscreen for literally everything, but I think a reimagined remake where things are similar but changed around and expanded to fit better as a full 2D Zelda game with a traditional control sceme would be really cool! I haven't ever got very far in Phantom Hourglass, but the idea of a ALBW style 2D Wind Waker sequel without any touchscreen gimmicks and just Wind Waker sailing and exploration in a 2D Zelda game would be amazing!
I think Nintendo might wanna focus on the same Link and Zelda now. I think part of the reason they've made such a drastic change to the character design with the lack of a green tunic, and the placement and world of botw and totk being very disconnected from the rest of the series says that it may be a soft reboot of some kind at least. They might just want to have a consistent Link around for a while.
But link has always looked the same lmao. Green tunic.
This link does have a green tunic
@@andrew4446 It's not his main outfit. Not even close to it.
@@PurpulearI like the champions tunic.
Not sure if it was an interview or what, but I’ve read somewhere that the only reason they changed his outfit was to make him stand out more in the heavily green environment.
I commented before it officially released and it didn’t show up now, so I’ll say again: Great video!! I agree with some kind of spinoff, just to keep BOTW and TOTK special, unique experiences! In my opinion, 1D Zelda is the most riveting.
The spinoff game that i want is a zelda spin on the shopkeeper game. Playing as beedle or ravio haggling aroud hyrule would be so cool. It would also be interesting to see how they get the things they sell. (Crafting, dungeon crawling, buying and upselling ect.)
I heard a crazy idea for a zelda game where you play as someone other than link during the great flood who was trying to fill the role of the hero that wasnt there. It would likely be a dark game since it would end in some kind of failure where hyrule inevitably gets flooded but it would be very interesting to see a zelda game from the perspective of someone other than link living as a normal civillian or maybe a royal knight, and attempting to step up in the time of need
Reach Vibes
I've thought about Zelda 2 being remade a lot, actually. But if you think about it, BotW and TotK are a realization of both the first 2 Zeldas goals; open world exploration and discovery and the rpg-ish style of Zelda 2.
Now, Golden Sun remakes on the other hand would be neato!
Great video! I won't pretend to know what's coming, but more Zelda is always good in my book! I'm curious where we go from here.
100%. It’s fun to guess, but I’m down to see whatever they decide to throw at the wall! Like, who would have guessed cadence of hyrule?
Maaan, Between Worlds is such a good title. Im replaying it now for the first time in almost a decade, and puzzle solving feels so good. Even though totk set the bar, im missing that return to 2d isometric zelda games right now.
There’s so many (great) indie 2D Zelda clones on the market, but I’d love the progenitor of the concept to step back in with some brilliant new ideas! Kinda like what I’d say Metroid did after indies ran with the Metroidvania formula for a while, and just made a top notch one with Dread.
Would love to see it!
Personally I wouldn't mind a sequel to Twilight Princess that's based on Link in the Twilight Realm
That’s a brilliant idea! There’s a lot of untapped potential in things we’ve seen just a bit of but haven’t gotten to really dive into, and the twilight realm is a fun example of that.
Not sure how that can happen since the mirror of twilight was shattered by midna.
@@theprmstrful1 maybe the story is, she shattered it.. AND UNLEASHED THE TWILIIGHT ONTO THE PLANET XD
@@Cottonthefox 😆
I prefer a prelude of Twilight Princess. Like the final chapter of the Hero Shade. We know it’s the Ocarina of Time Link. Just show us how his story ended to lead up to Twilight Princess.
Icwould like for the dragons in BotW and TotK to be addressed as well as the Triforce. The Triforce has been the crux for the Zelda games for the most part, and it's super strange they are never mentioned in the latest games.
Another angle could be a convergence of the timelines, or, going down the success timeline for OoT. Enter the Zelda-Verse, anyone?
There's a few angles we could go.
It would be cool if they did a 3rd botw/totk game that was like Zelda 2s map. Have a mini Hyrule in the bottom left of the map and have a bunch of new areas in the north and eastern continent. A big ocean with a wind waker type area would be great
Now all i want is a 1D Zelda 😂 Link between Worlds is such a great game, i would love something like that. Would not mind something in the Awakening art style, I thought it was neat.
I remember there was an early piece of concept art for Breath of the Wild that had Link on a motorcycle wearing a very modern looking jacket along with his classic hat. I wonder if after the rustic, overgrown look of these past few games, Nintendo would pivot in the complete opposite direction and set the next game in some kind of futuristic, cyberpunk inspired version of Hyrule.
I had this thought today after playing TOTK. I think a possibility is releasing some of the classic 3D Zelda games in one game, like the Mario All-Stars game. OOT, MM, and maybe Wind Waker if they could fit it all. Although considering the reception to the 3D All Stars was meh, maybe they wont go that direction.
I think because oot and mm are already on the NSO expansion, 9t would probably be ww or tp, because that's what everyone wants. Maybe even just porting the wii u remasters
The zelda II being remade like Prince of Persia is everything I’d ever want honestly. Out of all the ideas you came up with that one is definitely the BEST
Golden Sun(1+2) was the game I played most as a kid. I remember thinking how magical everything felt. And then when you make it to the lighthouses it feels very epic. And all the amazing Djinn summoning animations.
I’m honestly hoping that golden sun is the xenoblade of the next Nintendo system 🤞🏼 an RPG with a big scope that won’t sell amazingly overall, but very well for its genre, etc… I would be ecstatic 😄
Those game's soundtracks still live in my head rent free to this day
Would be amazing to get an oracle of ages and seasons remake, and/or the cancelled mystical seed of courage to go with it
Sick pixel art on the thumbnail
I would actually like to see a sequel that continues the story from hyrule Warriors definitive addition that game was actually really good and was LOADED full of content and i really liked the story
I would love to see Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for the switch
The remakes for the 3DS were great, but I feel like they don't really hold up anymore
I'd love to explore that era again in updated graphics and possibly a little more of an open world
This. This is all I want.
At that point they might as well just make a brand new Zelda game. Not every game needs a remake and those two, especially Majora's Mask do not need it.
I want one more game with the BotW/TotK engine and style, maybe with a few additional mechanics like TotK added, but a Majora's Mask style adventure where the same Link from those 2 games ends up somewhere very different from Hyrule.
Another cool concept could be a pre-pre-prequel to everything, before Rauru even came down from Zonai civilization. It COULD have a Zonai as a main character, but what if BotW/TotK Link has to time travel for some reason this time and ends up exploring the very origins of the entire Zelda universe in Zonai-land?
I would want a open world game like totk but with more of the classic zelda elements like actual big dungeons and weapons that don’t break. And maybe still have things fuse, cooking, and special abilities.
anybody ever wonder why zonai building is so different in the sky land and depths i hope to find out more in a next game or a obvious dlc
If they are to remake the Oracle games, they should go ahead and create the cancelled one with it.
Id actually like a third installment in the most recent duology of games. A game that, while a bit smaller, sees Link and Zelda exploring a new land different from Hyrule together. Mainly because I feel like Tears of the Kingdom wasnt really conclusive to the relationship Link and Zelda had which was centric to the story of BOTW, so a game where we get to see more of them together and finally see the understated romance between the two be concluded would be nice.
The Adventure Of Zelda - with Zelda as the main protagonist on a quest to save link. Or some weird duality where there are split timelines/ dimensions where link and Zelda are working to save each other. Like some weird time paradox thing,
To answer the question, without spoilers, if the end of TOTK ends things conclusively. Yes and no. It is conclusive enough that it could be the end of the story for these characters. But I really hope it isn't.
They have a lot they could do with the setting as it is right now, there are surprisingly lots of places to expand the game and still use the same characters. And the characters they have are great. What I'd like is a more story focused third game. More story focused on the main cast and following through with all the development they've put into the characters.
There are also, lots of big questions left unanswered that are ripe for an expansion or full blown sequel.
So yeah, it's conclusive, and they could do more. Personally, I want a third game. And I want more character interaction in it.
That's what DLC is for, totk originally started out as dlc for botw so we were gonna get a 3rd dlc pack which is a LOT and if we get 3 dlc packs this time around then we might be able to do all those cool things
Honestly, I think I'd love to see something akin to what Spirit Tracks did. It's kind of what I feel like BotW and ToTK is leading up to, a technological golden age of sorts. Even the fact that the construction company is leaving caches of materials everywhere makes me picture the next game having little villages scattered all around Hyrule, and a standard mode of transportation leading between them all would be perfect. I wouldn't even mind the topography remaining mostly the same, because it would add replay value to the two previous titles, almost like watching through captured moments of a land's history as it grows. Oooh, could you imagine a steampunk Legend of Zelda? They could even keep the floating islands, (if they don't fall or disappear somehow at the end of ToTK, I haven't finished yet.) and you could use an airship to travel between them!
Hey! Just woke up
All I want is for Link be left-handed in the next big 3D Zelda game.
I think TOTK dlc is the most likely next thing
Imagine the Oracle of Seasons Completed with the 3rd game as well... that would be gorgeous!
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess would be great, some of the games released on handheld being given the Link's Awakening treatment would be great also.
I am loving the massive open world games, and I'd like to see more in the future, maybe even more massive in size.
But perhaps we can alternate between those and more traditional Zelda games.
I would love to go back to Termina. Make Clock Town even bigger with a complex day night cycle.
I’d love a remake of the original Zelda and Zelda II. Perhaps bundled together if they don’t expand upon the games at all and just to a Link’s Awakening style remake of em.
I’d love to see the next 3D Zelda be a spiritual successor of Wind Waker. Give us a reasonably large ocean to explore. The boat could double a a submarine for under water exploration. Would be cool is the Zora city was actually under water for a change.
what made links awakening so good on switch was the QOL enhancements, yes the art was cute but i wouldn’t honestly care what oracle would look like so long as the power bracelet was always equipped and other things like that. Also what about a 2D game that would have been that axed 3rd orcale game Capcom originally pitched
Who ever made the beat in the background did a great job
Depending on which part of the video you’re talking about, that may have been me! One of these days I hope to have made enough of this genre to fill our whole videos 🤞🏼
Perhaps they could take an entirely new approach. A Majora's Mask approach with the next game. Where the four main powers are in MASKS this time. Basically, new transformation masks!
I think the next game will take place in another kingdom. The map of botw and totk seem to scream that there's more beyond hyrule when you look out over certain edges.
Those cliffs to the north and west of Hyrule as well as the desert area beyond the borders bug the crap out of me. How is all of that so barren and untouched after the kingdom has been around for 10,000 plus years? I would have rather Hyrule just be an island at that point. Hell they still did nothing with Mount Agaat. Wtf
If they were quality testing TOTK for a whole year then that means they’re already a year into the development of the new zelda. There’s also definitely gonna be a new remake or new 2D game and one or two remasters. If they keep not releasing the WW/TP remasters then one of those games will be undergoing a remake right now and my money would be on Twilight Princess.
Or a year into making DLC.
Likely working on DLC as they haven't even announced it yet
I would like to have a Zelda action game as the next Nintendo x Platinum collaboration. It would be so cool to have a game built around lore accurate Link combat.
I'm thinkin a spin off or two, several remasters, (looking for TP, WW, OoT, and MM remakes) and then a 3rd mainline botw style game, same jaw dropping physics system, but not in the hyrule we know now.
I am still waiting to repair and rebuild Hyrule. Maybe in the third game?
If they make a 3rd game they should basically make it a mix between wind waker and Majora’s mask cause I would really love to explore beyond Hyrule also I really want skull kid to make his grand return also the tri force should to play a bigger part
I think that after TOTK, there will be some kind of remake or spin-off; but after that, I think the formula will just be tweaked/perfected. Even if TOTK's abilities give you incredible freedom, it has pretty much the same formula as BOTW... ¿What's there to tweak? Item-variety, dungeon complexity, etc...
So pretty much... After some kind of remake/spin-off, another game in the lines of BOTW.
I want to see a Zelda 1 remake with a Hades inspired camera angle. It would never happen, but it's really cool to think about.
I hope the next game will expanded more on Link and Zelda’s relationship as they become new rulers of Hyrule.
Would love it. But has Zelda ever stuck with the same iterations for this long? I hope we get another with these same characters but worried we don’t
With Ganon whooped 2X now, let’s revive Majora and go back to an open world Termina.
They should also re release the oracle of seasons and ages just like they did for Links Awakening. I’d like if they kept the diorama style for those
I want the next 3D game to be a linear open world game. In other words, a smaller Hyrule (like BotW and TotW’s surface cut in half) that opens up as you complete the story. Think TotK when you first descend to the surface. It allows the developers to tell a story and have played follow it while giving them the freedom to explore the world. Also, it makes the world less overwhelming.
I think what they should do. Next is still an explanation on the depths maybe in a different art style maybe down the road or even in the past I think the best they could do is explore the concept I mean what exactly are we looking at a whole New World or the dark world or a fallen Lowrule, Lowrule, low rule maybe you have this new rule you have this new concept I don’t know how far you were in the game that’s in a U got a find out about a land beneath Hyrule that is basically a shadow with certain different elements. For instance, the goddess statues that are in Hyrule has counterparts called the Burgener statues. Maybe this land is a conquered land, where there once stood a hero of princess in an antagonist, who, eventually one wiping out life in this antagonistic foolishness and maybe this happened thousands of years ago, before was established. A haunted. Domain full of spirits spirits of soldiers of lost souls where the king of Hyrule decided to plan a mining operation insid constructed beans down to mine after the remnants of life ceased to be perhaps him up for thinking any thoughts
My hope is to see a game set during the time of the ancient hero. Probably a time and a place in the distant past
Hear me out: Spirit Tracks remake or sequel in the BotW engine.
Full train-building, no loading zones, diverse world with a bunch of biomes, it'll be excellent.
i am still holding out hope for “happy hyrule home designer” where i can do cinematic quests with zelda, travel around with zelda, do side quests with zelda, re-explore hyrule with zelda, investigate the depths and the sky islands with zelda, finish off ganondorf’s remaining forces with zelda as the main quest and story, spend time with z-
Love this video guys. I make these kind of timeline videos for Pokémon and it’s my fav 😆 love the idea of a Zelda RPG
They should make a Zelda game where the opening cutscene is a giant flood coming to the hyrule of totk and Link drifting away into the ocean where he wakes up in a different more tropical world.
who is the artist that made the pixel art on the thumbnail?
a zelda puzzle builder akin to mario builder maybe even using both 3d and 2d environments would be cool and innovative
Zelda Dungeon Maker like Mario Maker for 2D Zelda. Styles in Zelda 1, LttP, Minish Cap, and Link’s Awakening
I'd like to see remakes of Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks with brand new HD graphics and quality of life improvements. They're 2 of the most overlooked Zelda games and I think they deserve a second chance
A remake for the oracle games next would be nice
I'm hoping for a larger world beyond the old kingdom. Zelda 2 already laid groundwork for larger continents and other islands and continents. BotW/TotK show lands that are unreachable. Holodrum and Labrynna are still canonical, but are they reachable by travel, or only through the Triforce? Are they panda that exist within the Triforce, or did the Triforce send Link to those lands?
What about time travel, or parallel dimensions again, but in 3D? OoT showed it is doable.
TotK/BotW showed significant upgrades to tools and abilities are obtainable in an open order, but I'd like to see the old tool belt/inventory system reinstated with the recent improvements in mind.
I love the cooking and crafting of TotK, and I don't want that to be missing in future games, but they'll have to invent new ways for Link to craft and build.
Impa took a _physical trip_ to Holodrum and Labrynna without the Triforce's magic so it's definetly possible to reach these lands by simply travelling to them on foot.
I have a story idea for the next Zelda game. I think the sequel should be talked about "Rauru's Family" before they found Hyrule.
8:00 the idea behind this could go so far, like, what if Link is sent into this weird dimension (Zelda II Hyrule) and instead of defeating Ganon or whoever, (haven’t played Zelda II) he just has to get back HOME.
Maybe a new entry that actually involves a two player cooperative game that players control Link and Zelda, of course for single player an AI opponent has to be competent and difficulty scale would change depending on the number of active players.
Would love that! After all this success I’m ready for them to get wild for a bit lol
I'm assuming a new Nintendo console will be released before we hear of the next new Zelda game being in development.
I have a feeling that it may be a virtual reality game. I can't think of where else future AAA game development will go besides that.
We'll be on an omnidirectional treadmill will full haptic bodysuits and light weight VR glasses.
Just my guess.
8:10 I dont plan on playing zelda II but a remake like that? Yeah, i'd play it.
Hopefully something new with little to no game mechanics from the previous, also dungeon items
The next 3d game will be set in the same iteration of Hyrule as BotW/TotK, maybe with the same Link or maybe like a couple hundred years later.
It'll be set mostly on the rest of the continent though. In BotW you can break out of the map and see they sketched in a whole continent of which the playable part is only 1/4. In TotK those non playable parts of the map have way more detail. I don't think they'll leave all that work just to be wallpaper.
TotK dlc 1 late 2023 (QoL stuff, Cave of Ordeals type thing, Master mode), dlc 2 early 2024 (extra story stuff, maybe some new items to build with, dungeon and/or some shrines).
WWHD port to Switch 2024.
Spin off game mid 2025 on Switch (think crossbow training or TP Picross for scale).
Grezzo original 2d game 2026 Switch 2.
OoT Remake late 2028 Switch 2.
BotW 3 early to mid 2030 Switch 2.
Third party spin off or either a Hyrule Warriors or WWHD/TPHD collection Switch 2 2031/2.
If Oracle of Seasons/ages and A Link to the Past gets remaked, i think it would make the most sense if its the same Artstyle like Links awakening.
I hope that is all that is either playable or not in trouble for most of the game. And I want Ganondorf to not be completely absent from most of the story.
12:12 It doesn’t have to be Illumination, it has to be Universal. It could be something like Dreamworks.
Ngl
I hope they make a new thing
The"Wild" series is complete now
I hope they start with new, creative worlds and visions
i would like a hyrule warriors for the imprisoning war but link time travels with zelda and so do the sages
They could make a sequel to windwaker very well (but not phantom hourglass. We all loved that world, and the ocean is large
I do think we'll get a Breath of the Wild Trilogy, I don't think the artstyle will change for the third game, but I do believe it'll take Link to new lands that have their own races, technology, and environments that feel different from Hyrule. A more alien-like land would be amazing by itself
I really hope the next 3d zelda takes the freedom of totk and botw and clashes it with ocerina of time or twilight princess. maybe a similar art style to twilight princess then take the open world part of botw but instead of runes or abilities be traditional items you unlock by completing the actual story. and a linear story side at that. a linear zelda is what I personally want but I know the vast majority of people who want a new zelda want open world and I would like to have the best of both worlds put together and overall that seems more likely to me than anything
Sheik origins spinoff game with twinrova as the main villain
I think 2D Zelda is pretty likely for the launch year of the next system, since obviously they wouldn’t be able to launch a new 3D Zelda by then, so 2D would be the next best option. I also think it being a launch tear title makes it more likely to be a new game, to really grab people to the new console with a new 2D Zelda game
Remake of WW or TP would still sell better
honestly would love the next open world zelda to be more realistic graphics (if the next nintendo system can handle it) and for there to be a completely new villain
I don’t want the remake of the wind waker and twilight princess if they can’t have two screens at the same time that allows for my inventory like on the wiiu so I never have to pause and the way that BOTW and TOTK should have been with their cumbersome menus. So next gen Nintendo I predict will be a switch with the ability to use the tablet as a second screen or if playing in handheld mode the ability to use your phone as a second screen
I think they should do what everyone has been wanting for years. A Twilight Princess Sequel with Link and Midna
We get a third game that has something to do with Fire/Light and we complete Air, Water, Fire... Farore, Nayru, Din... we actually start to rebuild Hyrule and at the End... actually get the Triforce and use its Power to help that goal.
A bit like Tarrey Town but on a grand scale, have tons of quests that actually change the world... like "Defeat those Monsters and bring back the resources and we'll build a new road" and then actually have a road "appear". Build up settlements etc. and for the grand ending rebuild Castle Town!
I would absolutely love a Zelda anime, it'd be the perfect fit for the series, you could have each season follow a different Link from the timeline. A Zelda movie seems far more likely tho, sadly, but still, I'll take what I can get.
Oh man...an isometric turn-based Legend of Zelda RPG? I would be all over that!
(So hype for the Super Mario RPG remake
"Games in the '80s weren't very good." That's lunacy. Of course there were bad games, there is now too. But there's so many masterpiece level games of that era, whether it's Super Mario Bros. 3 (came out in Japan in 1988), Metroid, Contra, Castlevania III, a slew of truly stellar arcade games, The Oregon Trail, Prince of Persia, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, Tetris, Super Mario Bros., and the first Zelda game.
BotW and TotK are in the exact same place Nintendo found Ocarina and Majora's Mask to be - stellar games that are hard to top, leading to lower and lower sales for each subsequent Zelda game until something absolutely drastic like Twilight Princess came along. The Metroid series is still trying to recover from a stellar trilogy. Nintendo is super afraid to release Metroid Prime 4, because a lot is at stake.
I think Nintendo knows/remembers this. When BotW topped charts, it was an "oh shit" moment. How do we top that? That's probably why TotK is a direct sequel with many of the same base gameplay mechanics.
Remakes will likely be a good "stall tactic" for a while for Nintendo, but they'll really have to come up with something incredible so that they don't drive the franchise to the brink of death like they did before.
I would love Link to the Past to get a remake that looks like Octopath Traveler, that style would fit so well.
Most likely a sequel to TOTK (be a missed opportunity to not have a solid trilogy) and maybe a remake or original 2d game.
Space is the next step. They already hinted at the concept of it. I say go full
skies of Arcadia with it. Give us full scale space ship battles and such. They already showed Zelda doesn’t have to follow a formula.
I think a future zelda game be modeled after MM, but not a “majora mask” specific, just use the mechanics. Make the game a 7 day time cycle. This time you have 7 days to save hyrule from a ganon that is active inthe game world
