I wouldn’t mind either way
According to Eiji Aonuma, work on the nextLegend of Zeldagame is already happening. I mean we could have predicted it given that this is one of their most successful series outside ofMario, but given that Nintendo doesn’t rush these things and is known to start them after each iteration is completed, it’s nice to have some sort of timeline.
So what do you want from it? GivenBreath of the Wild‘s polarizing take on many open world mechanics, I think a fair few of you will want them to go back to the drawing board and not bring over the same concepts or provide a direct follow-up in any way (similar to howMajorabuilt onOcarina). Others will likely want a nostalgic-heavy game, and perhaps even a remake of an old classic.
Me? I want them to try something completely different again. TheZeldaseries is often at its highest point when it takes its time and really tries to blow the doors off, perhaps best evidenced withWind Waker. But if they decided to give us another take onBreath of the Wild(maybe with a more forgiving durability system, or no breaking at all?), I’d be fine with it too.
I don’t need myZeldagames to be done a certain way. Follow-ups have been great, retro-heavy games have worked too. As long as theydon’t force game-long tutorials, we’re good.
