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?
With the success of BotW and TotK, that style of game is probably here to stay. But I would really like to see another more ‘grounded’ classic 3D Zelda. Not like Skyward Sword. More like Twilight Princess.
I liked the older games more, OoT, TP, and SS. I wild love for them to do something more along the lines of skyrim, where the side quests have a good story rather than little things that don’t affect the overall story or direction of the game.
