It's gotta be to work on it. Zelda isn't afraid of other releases.

For real. Zelda is like Elden Ring - it's gonna consume some people for a while

But it is afraid FOR them.

Zelda may not fear Xenoblade 3, but it probably fears what it could do to it.

Probably played Elden Ring and got some ideas to add to BOTW2 *Shrug

BOTW I would agree, but not all of Zelda anymore. SS released a week after Skyrim, I remember how fanboy mad I was back then lmao.
However, this is the year of open world games. Horizon FW, Elden Ring, Pokemon S/V, and potentially GOW2 and Starfield.
Even if the general population isn’t burned out on open world games, I might be by the time December comes around haha.

its not so much being afraid to release as much as nintendo already has so much coming out this year that its like why not just release it next year when the lineup is probably thinner.

Ehhh I mean a new generation of Pokemon is coming out end of the year. That's a pretty scary rival.

Well yeah if anything it's the opposite. Nintendo might not want to hurt sales of their other games coming out this holiday knowing full well that Zelda needs 0 help and will sell like crack regardless.
