Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here? - Lemmy.world

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?

If nintendo keep the exact same formula, a Botw3, then that would be very out of pace for Nintendo and very disappointing. One of the most disappointing parts about Totk is that it’s very much botw again, fixed in many ways, with some new ideas. But Nintendo usually like to change things up much more than that.

I very much hope that the creative spark for something different is still there

The level of ingenuity and the story alone set it miles ahead and make BOTW feel like a hollow prequel
