Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it.
Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here though? Can they keep with the same new formula? Should they? Will a more traditional game feel disappointing after this?
I don’t really know what I want myself. I think they should try something different though. At the same time, I can’t help but think I’d be disappointed if the next game was more similar to something like Twilight Princess. Have they boxed themselves in?
I’d love to see what they could do with a Wind Waker-style game nowadays. With how successful they’ve been at crafting an open world, opening that up to the high seas could be a lot of fun.
This is an interesting thought. I personally don’t care for crafting but if you were able to build and design your own ships…that’s something that could actually be fun!
