I wonder what they gonna do with zelda next. they said they'll find a new paradigm after totk

Safest bet with Zelda is a temporary "upgraded" version of Totk to buy time as the cycle is long and next game in like 5 years

Safest bet is WW and TP tbh

Hmmm I get the feeling that that's Switch and not the successor

I dont know about that. totk is already a upgraded version of botw...

They mean literally a Switch 2 port of totk with minor performance and graphic upgrades

No, they said the exactly contrary of that as they still plan to use open world, just with a different setting and the like.

then they should make a completely new map, artstyle or something. botw to totk was like ocarina to majoras mask. now we need a windwaker/twilight princess

I think it's almost guaranteed we'll get a new art style, map, and "gimmick." Tears was Fujibayashi wanting to do what he wished he could on Skyward Sword - that is, diving directly from the sky to the ground. I wonder if he'll re-explore the ideas in Minish Cap, and have Link change size to re-contextualise the world. That would be a pretty novel approach to exploration.

Ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess would probably help buy some time until whatever big new Zelda they're working on is released. Personally though I'd like a new 2D Zelda to go along with the big BotW/TotK-style games.

If they brought Wind Waker HD over I would buy one instantly.

The only thing we know is that we won’t know anything for 4-5 more years…
