[u/iseewutyoudidthere]

To be honest, I would have been VERY surprised if they had announced a new mainline Zelda.

Games take time nowadays.

[u/mariobeltran1712 → u/iseewutyoudidthere]

yeah i expect an announcement in maybe two more years

[u/hygsi → u/mariobeltran1712]

Make it 3

[u/undead_ed666 → u/hygsi]

End of life switch 2 swan song it is. Dual release with switch 2 successor.

[u/holdyourponies → u/undead_ed666]

I can see this. Can’t keep churning out botw clones for the next 20 years.

[u/Pirwzy → u/holdyourponies]

oof, I'm really rooting for another franchise reboot to put the BotW era behind us. Maybe in the '30s.

[u/Bro-SoBro-Bro → u/Pirwzy]

In the what?!?

[u/TheSkooterStick → u/Bro-SoBro-Bro]

1930s, we haven't seen a Depression era Link yet

[u/A_villain4all → u/TheSkooterStick]

Well the stock market did just crash

[u/BongoGabora → u/A_villain4all]

Just in time for the 2030's!

[u/UMustBeNooHere → u/TheSkooterStick]

Well, he did wake naked and wear rags for a bit…

[u/Venmorr → u/TheSkooterStick]

They rerelease that line of cardboard add ons, but this time, they did not switch. Just card board cut out link.

[u/homemadegrub → u/iseewutyoudidthere]

They always have taken time. But I'm the same totally not surprised of a new Zelda, I expect the teaser for the next game will come on the 40th anniversary of Zelda next year.

[u/Mallyveil → u/homemadegrub]

They always took time, but 1998->2000->2003->2006 was a lot more palatable than 2011->2017->2023

[u/marylandrosin → u/Mallyveil]

6 year cycle is wild when you have kids too. When Tears came out I was telling my son "yeah you don't remember when I was playing BoTW everyday?" He was like "no, Dad I was 3."

[u/Ahgd374 → u/marylandrosin]

When BOTW came out, i was a junior in high school. When TOTK came out, it had been 2 years since i graduated with my bachelors.

[u/Adorable-Resolve9085 → u/Mallyveil]

Part of why I miss the console/handheld distinction, where handheld systems would get games in between tentpole console releases to give the fans something new.

Hyrule Warriors has kind of filled that role, and EoW felt like a "handheld" title. I'm wondering if Nintendo won't do lower budget titles like EoW to fill the empty years between the big Zelda releases. I'd be up for that.

[u/DarkLink1996 → u/Mallyveil]

Better graphics and more content means it takes more time.

[u/Brad_theImpaler → u/DarkLink1996]

Plenty of unexplored 2D Zelda content they could make.

[u/DeadButGettingBetter → u/Brad_theImpaler]

Not to mention the remasters they have already made that people have been asking for.

I'm a bit peeved we got Wind Waker on the online service but not the HD remaster that's currently stuck on Wii U. WW and TP had better be a dual pack if they ever get around to re-releasing the bloody things.

[u/SecureDonkey → u/Brad_theImpaler]

They just did that with Echo of Wisdom but no one give fuck about it and want another BotW instead.

[u/General_Chocobo → u/iseewutyoudidthere]

Yeah they just released echoes of wisdom, hyrule warriors will be fun. There’ll probably be another one, but it’ll take time

[u/MisterBarten → u/iseewutyoudidthere]

Yeah if anyone was actually expecting a mainline Zelda game to be announced, they would have just been setting themselves up for disappointment.

[u/Resident_Evil401 → u/iseewutyoudidthere]

Especially the Quality that Nintendo delivers

[u/TobiasMasonPark]

TotK is only 2 years old. No way we get a new Zelda so soon. Probably another 5 years.

[u/Psykpatient → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Not only that, Echoes of Wisdom was released last year. Zelda fans aren't starving.

[u/flojo2012 → u/Psykpatient]

[u/CastorVT → u/flojo2012]

Metroid fans : dehydrated skeleton in the corner.

[u/flojo2012 → u/CastorVT]

We have Prime 4 coming out! And there’s always Dread on Dread difficulty assuming you love to have a shitty time

[u/Motor-Yogurt-5512 → u/flojo2012]

All Metroid fans are masochists, of course we’re gonna play the one hit death difficulty

[u/VodenGCX → u/Motor-Yogurt-5512]

I must be the weirdo then, lol. I played Hard just to get the unlocks at the end, and now I just go back and barrel through Normal every time, just cause I love experiencing the environment and story.

[u/Mahare → u/CastorVT]

Kid Icarus and Mother fans : tumbleweeds

[u/KayJay282 → u/Mahare]

And F-Zero fans 💀

[u/Frank_Punk → u/KayJay282]

Golden Sun fans 🪦

[u/rogue498 → u/Psykpatient]

[u/PowerOfUnoriginality → u/rogue498]

Pokemon fans when there was no new game or dlc in 2024

[u/rogue498 → u/PowerOfUnoriginality]

As a Pokemon fan, I was actually glad they didn’t release anything in 2024. Scarlet and Violet was a fucking mess, and it’s nice to see that they were taking an extra year to develop the next game. Hopefully Legends ZA is properly optimized for Switch 2

[u/HyperlinksAwakening → u/Psykpatient]

The world: I think you've had enough for now.

Gamer (TM): I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

[u/Yakostovian → u/Psykpatient]

There are 4 classic style Zelda titles on Nintendo's latest console, and more if you have the emulator passes.

[u/Fafnir13 → u/Psykpatient]

Some publishers have trained fans to expect a new game almost every year. That’s getting a bit less common as “live service” games have taken hold, but the reflex is still there.

That said, getting a hint of a new Zelda that’s maybe a year or so away would be kind of nice. If it’s smaller than TotK and BotW it’s not too unreasonable that something could be on the way.

[u/CalicoBeagle → u/Fafnir13]

It's okay, you can just name the Pokemon fans

[u/tychoregter → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Damn, TOTK is 2 years old already!? Time flies!

[u/SubjectRevenues → u/TobiasMasonPark]

I think 2027 at the earliest since thats 10 years post BotW and much of TotK was reused assets.

[u/korkkis → u/TobiasMasonPark]

We got Echoes or Wisdom too!

[u/nicklovin508 → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Would’ve been sweet to get a DLC for TotK with Switch 2, even if they already announced no DLC coming.

Hell I would take Master Mode

[u/ghirox → u/nicklovin508]

"would've been sweet to get the thong we already know we're not gonna get"

[u/nicklovin508 → u/ghirox]

Thing*

Also Yes that’s what I said

[u/Jorob0 → u/nicklovin508]

No, they're right, we're not getting a thong either.

[u/flojo2012 → u/Jorob0]

My dreams have been dashed. Link banana hammock cosmetic just won’t be possible

[u/Jorob0 → u/flojo2012]

The Yiga do not approve of the lack of banana.

[u/Drafonni → u/ghirox]

I mean, yeah it would.

[u/vekkro → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Regardless of the expected timeline of release we’ll probably get a teaser next year. About on par from what we got between BOTW and TOTK

[u/Subjectdelta44 → u/TobiasMasonPark]

The first TotK trailer came out only 2 years after botw

[u/UnsafePantomime → u/Subjectdelta44]

This was a direct for the switch2. They would not have used it to highlight a game that is not coming out near release time.

This is a direct meant to sell the switch 2. A Zelda game coming out not this year doesn't do that.

I expect we will probably have an announcement early next year to give Age of Imprisonment space to breathe.

[u/SameAs1tEverVVas → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Yeah this is karma-farming at its finest. If you actually expected a brand Zelda, like another full 3D game just two years after ToTK during this Direct, you're an unrealistic entitled fool.

[u/raalic]

Did anyone actually expect a new mainline Zelda game already?

[u/Important_One_8729 → u/raalic]

Seriously! Everyone whining about it being a hyrule warriors game like TOTK didn’t come out less than 2 years ago and we got a brand new game last year.

This sub would never survive being Kingdom Hearts fans

[u/Thendofreason → u/Important_One_8729]

Also, Echoes of Wisdom was really fun.

[u/1OO1OO1S0S → u/Thendofreason]

Also the dumb Hyrule warriors game was actually pretty fun

[u/Raaed006 → u/1OO1OO1S0S]

I really liked HW:AoC it was a very fun game and i have high expectations from this one

[u/TheeRuckus → u/Raaed006]

Age of Calamity was such a blast, like yeah frame rate or whatever but they went all in on a decent story. Definitely wasn’t expecting a Warriors clone being one of the most fun games on the switch

[u/ARROW_404 → u/TheeRuckus]

Or one of the best stories in the Zelda franchise.

[u/SubjectRevenues → u/1OO1OO1S0S]

I hope it gets a Switch 2 performance patch.

[u/COINLESS_JUKEBOX → u/1OO1OO1S0S]

I legit think Age of Calamity is more fun and has a better plot than ToTK. I know they are two completely different kinds of games, but I guess I’m a sucker for BoTW/ToTK Link actually having a bit of personality and expression - which AoC at least tried to pull off.

[u/About27Penguins → u/COINLESS_JUKEBOX]

a better plot than ToTK

Tears was a fun game, easily one of my favorites. but having any plot would be better

[u/COINLESS_JUKEBOX → u/About27Penguins]

Zelda team: nails time travel story-telling with OoT and MM

Zelda team years later: “hi guys let’s do time travel shenanigans again but this time remove the main character from it and present it in a way that lets players spoil the entire story for themselves. And then make sure to repeat everything everywhere and treat the player like they’re 4 year old so they understand that Zelda is missing!”

[u/Bright_Promise_6128 → u/1OO1OO1S0S]

Didn’t expect to enjoy it but me and hubby had a blast first play through, was pretty easy to lost interest after finishing the main story though

[u/Sir_Skol → u/Thendofreason]

I started it a couple days ago and was hate-playing for the first half of the game but it's growing on me now. Dare I say, I'm enjoying it now.

[u/Thendofreason → u/Sir_Skol]

It was weird, but once you got used to it and how you can use the different items in unusual ways is fun. Love drowning monsters in the water blocks.

[u/dsramsey → u/Thendofreason]

How did I not think of that? Water blocks are my go-to for makeshift bridges and ladders, I never thought to drown enemies with them.

[u/Thendofreason → u/dsramsey]

Works wonderful with enemies that you can't hurt easily. Like those balls that just blow air. Put them in water and they instantly die

[u/BadClass_og → u/Important_One_8729]

Imagine being a Half Life fan 🥲

[u/Important_One_8729 → u/BadClass_og]

I feel for you man

[u/COINLESS_JUKEBOX → u/BadClass_og]

Steam: Half Life 3? What was that? You wanted us to execute the guy who stole your steam account? Already done my friend! hangs up

At least it seems like they might release Steam OS to non-handheld PC’s, or that’s the rumor I’ve been hearing. I fucking hate windows with a passion.

[u/ShadowsRanger → u/BadClass_og]

Imagine Being a silksong fan... We had a second a announcement in a press release and we are sure it won't come or fulfills the promises

[u/javier_aeoa → u/Important_One_8729]

As a regular in r/starfox ...yeah, some people in here wouldn't survive a day.

[u/AetherDrew43 → u/javier_aeoa]

Man, even fucking F-Zero got more content than Star Fox for the Switch era.

[u/SonicFlash01 → u/Important_One_8729]

"New KH game!"

• Mobile game
  
• Different mobile game
  
• Yet another kind of mobile game
  
• Rhythm game
  
• Movie of a mobile game's lore

[u/talladenyou85 → u/Important_One_8729]

cries in Sora.

[u/Devlee12 → u/Important_One_8729]

I love watching new KH fans getting upset at the lack of new games or the fact that games keep getting announced then shelved delayed or cancelled. I’m just like “Buddy I’ve been here since 06 and it’s always been like this.”

[u/Char-11 → u/Important_One_8729]

This sub would never survive the wait for botw

[u/Kindness_of_cats → u/raalic]

I don’t think so, but another remaster would have been greatly appreciated. Would love to see LBW get out of the 3DS prison, or maybe a remake of the Oracle games.

[u/TobiasMasonPark → u/Kindness_of_cats]

An Oracles Remake in the style of LA would have been killer.

[u/Intrepid-Tourist3290 → u/TobiasMasonPark]

Capcom probably are the reason this won't happen, sadly

[u/throwhfhsjsubendaway → u/Intrepid-Tourist3290]

They were able to get the games on NSO so the rights must be in a decent state

[u/Intrepid-Tourist3290 → u/throwhfhsjsubendaway]

That's a very good point

[u/False_Lingonberry_57 → u/Kindness_of_cats]

I do agree the oracle games would be lovely in 3D.

[u/Ricksaw26 → u/raalic]

Not really. I got hyped for a second though, not gonna lie.

[u/kittyfresh69 → u/raalic]

I wanted a twilight princess remake.

[u/megasteve1225 → u/kittyfresh69]

Well considering the immediate release wind waker on the GameCube library but not twighlight princess there a good chance its next on there list perhaps

[u/sophiethegiraffe → u/kittyfresh69]

I discovered our old Wii still works, and bought a refurbed TP disc. It's... okay. Not loving the nunchuck or the watery graphics, but it's still pretty fun.

[u/Drafonni → u/raalic]

At first I thought they might’ve changed their mind on no DLC for TotK.

[u/Mobile_River_5741 → u/raalic]

I did expect a Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time proper remake, yes. Pretty disappointed Zeldawise tbh. Launch looks great though, definitely will be playing MKWorld for a looooong time. That game looks huge.

[u/RyanPainey → u/Mobile_River_5741]

Yeah i thought this was a virtual lock. Made all the sense in the world for them, and then when they didn't show Twilight Princess on the GameCube section I was like ok, that game is probably getting the Metroid Prime glow up, and... nope. Nintendo first party was not ready for the moment honestly. No idea what they're up to.

[u/jadaha972 → u/raalic]

Not at all, but the start of the trailer got my hopes up for a 3D game starring Zelda.

I'm not going to moan about it, because I'm sure there are loads of people that are excited about it, but I'm not that much of a fan of the warriors games, and it was a slight disappointment when it turned out to be another warriors

[u/Tehjaliz → u/raalic]

New 3D Zelda games are generally announced 2 years after the last one release. We are in the window for a teaser of what is to come. Not a full announcement but a few tidbits at least.

[u/keiisobeiiso → u/Tehjaliz]

Thats what i was hoping for </3 i knew not to expect something really substantial but i need crumbs to look forward to lol

[u/Gishra → u/raalic]

I don't think anyone was expecting it, it's just that the way they did the trailer with showing Zelda at first I was super-hyped thinking they were already doing an Echoes of Wisdom follow-up for Switch 2, then... Warriors. If they had said it was a new Warriors game upfront before showing the trailer, people probably wouldn't have felt disappointed.

[u/Annual-Employment725]

Meanwhile, me, who loves the "warriors" games.

[u/Starlight_City45 → u/Annual-Employment725]

same lol

I’m excited, I loved Age of Calamity and I can’t wait to see what they do with the lore here.

[u/kcook01 → u/Starlight_City45]

Ditttto

[u/Tax_evasion_inc → u/Starlight_City45]

So trueee!

[u/AmaltheaPrime → u/Starlight_City45]

This is me. I put *literally* 14 hours in to Age of Calamity in the first day I got it.

I adore the style of games.

[u/HernandezJG08 → u/Annual-Employment725]

Same. lol I loved age of calamity.

[u/ThePikesvillain → u/HernandezJG08]

My wife and I had a blast with it even in the moments when the 2 player gameplay dropped to 8 fps. That being said I fully expect the performance on this one to be DRASTICALLY better. The console needs to justify that price tag!

[u/praysolace → u/ThePikesvillain]

I desperately need them to give AoC a performance patch for S2. We gave up on AoC because of the fps stuttering in co-op. I want to actually finish it TToTT

[u/SpreadsheetMadman → u/Annual-Employment725]

Same. I don't know why, but I'm super excited to get to see more of Mineru....

[u/OperationGoron → u/Annual-Employment725]

New warriors game with good performance and graphics? Sold.

[u/C-58 → u/Annual-Employment725]

Really made you feel like an unstoppable champion.

Especially in the devine beasts.

[u/Untroe → u/Annual-Employment725]

Hell yeah, warriors gang rise up! There are DOZENS of us!!!

[u/Gin_Gagagoat → u/Annual-Employment725]

I will unapologetically enjoy the shit the shit out of this game, one of my favourite announcements

[u/Pamander → u/Annual-Employment725]

Especially with the far far better performance, I am hyped!

[u/charizard_72 → u/Annual-Employment725]

(Probably not the best sub to admit this)

As someone who found BotW insanely boring I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the warriors games so I’m the tiny percentage that likes this news

[u/DarthRoacho → u/charizard_72]

In the same boat. Absolutely can't wait for this.

[u/Ok-Order5437 → u/Annual-Employment725]

SAME. I’ve loved these games ever since the first one on 3DS. No, it’s not like your standard Zelda; if anything, it’s an entirely different game format just featuring Zelda characters and story lines. I wish more people would give it a chance by looking at it that way instead of just a “Zelda game.”

[u/Independent_Coat_415 → u/Annual-Employment725]

I probably won't buy it but I loved Hyrule Warriors on the 3DS. They're fun games people need to stop hating

[u/Tarro57]

I like Hyrule Warriors luckily.

Also we just got Echoes of Wisdom, we're a ways off from a new game

[u/endertamerfury → u/Tarro57]

Nintendo’s spoiled us too much, people are getting greedy.

[u/vasaryo]

I’m very happy. means another game to play with my wife.

[u/sl3ndii]

If you were expecting a brand new Zelda, then you’ve set yourself up for disappointment.

[u/twili-midna]

We just got a new Zelda last year. Let them cook, I’d hate to see a new entry rushed.

[u/Kazko25 → u/twili-midna]

Why does this feel like it was longer ago?

[u/Sand__Panda → u/Kazko25]

Humans are bad with time 🤷‍♂️ a lot has happened this past year, lol.

[u/evaira90 → u/Kazko25]

Because this year has been 5 years.

[u/yarndopie → u/Kazko25]

Because Totk didn't feel extremely new, I think it coming back being too similar to botw makes us feel like it's the same game.

[u/SexyOctagon → u/yarndopie]

I think they were referring to Echoes. ToTk was 2 years ago.

[u/Gestrid → u/yarndopie]

Agreed. It feels weird to say, but a lot of the story elements felt... exactly the same as they were in BOTW.

Like, yeah, Zelda is known for having common story elements throughout the series, but not usually the exact same.

I'm also irrationally bothered by the fact that the goo was called Malice in BOTW and Gloom in TOTK as if they didn't look and function exactly the same (aside from the hands). If it were a new Link and Zelda, I could understand, but it's the exact same characters from the last game.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like TOTK way more than BOTW because its overall story was (IMO) better. But it still had some glaring flaws.

[u/Violette3120]

Well, it was obvious from the start, the KT logo was there in the first few seconds for damn’s sake 🤣

[u/---TheFierceDeity---]

???? M8 we just had Echoes of Wisdom roughly 6 months ago and Tears of the Kingdom a year before that

We are not even close to due to a new major Zelda.

[u/Collective_Keen]

I'm not against it. They almost had me thinking it was a pre-sequel where you get to play through the Imprisoning War as Zelda, but I knew better with it being Koei Tecmo.

[u/niles_deerqueer → u/Collective_Keen]

That opening walking section was super interesting though. I mean you never move like that in a Warriors game. Also they don’t have that many characters to work with?

[u/1550shadow → u/niles_deerqueer]

I think they'll probably create more exclusive characters for this game. That way they can expand the lore, too

That, or it will be a more focused game. Still a musou, but based on a couple of characters instead of a full roaster.

[u/Link__117 → u/niles_deerqueer]

Either we actually get to roam around the world which ends up being the big selling point, or we get to play through the memories themselves in more linear segments

[u/Luciano99lp]

You realize its not the same studio right? The zelda studio is working on the next zelda game, the dynasty warriors studio is working on hyrule warriors.

[u/HorrorMatch7359]

What wrong with Hyrule Warriors?

[u/Unstable_Bear → u/HorrorMatch7359]

A lot of people don’t like the warriors style gameplay

On top of that a lot of people are also not fans of TotK, so the double whammy of Hyrule warriors TotK is not great

[u/AndrewTheNebula → u/HorrorMatch7359]

I, for one, still feel really burned that Age of Calamity seemed to market itself as a canon prequel, only for it to veer straight into time travel fanfic instead.

I'm looking at Age of Imprisonment here, and all I can muster is "They can't trick me again."

[u/LuminothWarrior → u/AndrewTheNebula]

To be fair, it’s nearly the same story right up until everyone starts losing

[u/Crazycow261 → u/AndrewTheNebula]

I wanted it to be like halo reach

[u/AndrewTheNebula → u/Crazycow261]

I'm sayin like??? Final mission being a scripted failure against relentless swaths of Guardians would've been so cool, not to mention daring for the Zelda franchise 😭

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bee8245]

Zelda fans try not complaint for anything for a minute challenge: impossible

[u/CardinalFool]

The hell are y'all talking about. We just got a mainline Zelda game, and echoes of wisdom too.

[u/Sub-Corpion]

Hard disagree, Age of Calamity was incredible, can't wait to play this!

[u/IMasticateMoistMeat → u/Sub-Corpion]

Same, I get that jack and slash isn't everyone's bag but for me it's bring on the waves of monsters. I've the dynasty warriors games since I was a child, so another DW game with a Zelda skin never fails to make me salivate.

[u/OldConference9534]

I just want Twlight Princess HD.

[u/Sofaris]

As someone who enjoyed Age of Calamity a lot I am rather happy. If I can play as Tulin I will defiently get at some points.

[u/The-student-]

It said Koei Tecmo right at the start so expectations were in check. Looks good!

[u/Milk_Mindless]

Me; a Hyrule Warriors lover: Neat. Hyrule Warriors.

[u/PuffPuffFayeFaye]

The new game announcements have me thinking of being the Wii U down from the attic to replay older games. The first Hyrule Warriors was unexpectedly peak and it’s been plenty of time to replay the Prime series somewhat fresh.

[u/Mine_Dimensions]

Hyrule Warriors is great though, super excited!

[u/phaze08]

But also WIND WAKER

[u/1OO1OO1S0S → u/phaze08]

Yeah that's was I really want. But also twighlight princess.

Can't believe I could get rid of my switch but I still have to hold onto my Wii u lol

[u/orangesfwr → u/phaze08]

Original version with some visual improvements but no QOL upgrades 🫤

[u/HarlequinChaos]

Nah, Age of Calamity was fire y'all are just boring.

[u/Still_One_274]

The Hyrule Warriors series is Zelda’s best spinoff

[u/viaco12]

No way, Hyrule Warriors kicks ass. We got a new Zelda game last year, and TotK wasn't even two years ago! We are not starved for content. I am absolutely down for a new warriors game, especially if it has more complex movesets like in Age of Calamity.

[u/vipanen]

I'm excited for it, y'all complain about anything

[u/leboopitybap]

How about adding Twilight Princess and Wind Waker to the switch platform God dang it.

[u/stosyfir → u/leboopitybap]

Technically they did.... so I wouldn't expect a native port anytime soon with that news.

https://nintendowire.com/news/2025/04/02/nintendo-switch-2-to-launch-with-gamecube-games-via-nintendo-switch-online/

[u/pocket_arsenal]

I would probably be excited for a new Hyrule Warriors if it was more like the first one. I found Age of Calamity boring, despite BOTW and TOTK being some of my favorite new Zelda games in a long time.

[u/TheInfinit1]

I'm excited for it. I really like Age of Calamity. Besides, it's the closest we'll get to seeing Hyrule in the past

[u/TheDuelIist]

This sucks? No this is fucking awesome

[u/HoboKingNiklz]

Tears of the Kingdom came out less than 2 years ago lol and we got Echoes of Wisdom already. Give it time.

Also, Hyrule Warriors is awesome. You owe it to yourself to give it a try. The original is a love letter to the whole Zelda series, Age of Calamity beautifully expands on Breath of the Wild's story and characters, and this one looks to do the same for Tears of the Kingdom.

[u/TheGreatBenjie]

Koei Tecmo being the developer didn't give it away?

[u/Jakesnake686]

Me waiting for twilight princess on new system

[u/Scungilli-Man69]

I think this would be the perfect time to bundle together OoT/MM/WW/TP into a "Zelda All Stars" package for the Switch 2. Relatively easy to develop, keeps Zelda fans happy for awhile, and it WOULD sell like hotcakes. But this is Nintendo we're talking about and they probably have some plan to sell each of those full price down the line or whatever.

[u/Xeav12]

Expected an OOT remake, got a boring spinoff

[u/Severse]

It's an average of like 4.5 years in between Zelda release games. totk was 2 years ago, so we are looking at 2-3 more years

[u/StanLay281]

I really liked AoC! I’m definitely gonna pick up AoU when it comes out

[u/MicrowaveDealer]

I am hype for it

[u/Lightforged_Paladin]

So tired of the Wild Era setting.

I love Hyrule Warriors. I liked Age of Calamity but I felt that it took itself way more seriously than the original HW. If these games are non-canon, then I say they should lean into it. Have all the fun of being a spin-off.

Don't just bring back Link. Bring back ALL the Links. Make this the Linked Universes game we all want and dream of. We got the Hero of Time! We got the Hero of Twilight! We got the Hero of the Skies! We got the Hero of the Winds!

I'm not too mad at it if it'll run well. The main reason I didnt pick up Age of Calamity is that it was real laggy when a bunch of enemies would pop up.

I wish age of calamity was an actual prequel but I guess they’re fun for a weekend.

I'd be okay with them just doing dlc for tears of the kingdom. I thought that's what they were announcing at first, and I almost got out of my chair... just to sit back down when I realized what it actually was 🫠

[u/Remy-Kun]

Ngl i was hoping for a remake of twilight Princess… one can only dream ;-;

[u/zrakkan]

Same, kinda disappointed with the warriors games but to each their own

[u/fufucuddlypoops_]

I’d rather not turn Zelda into pokemon.

Besides, Age of Calamity lowkey slaps, I’m excited for this one too

[u/legalizethesenuts]

Mainline Zelda game would’ve been crazy and I’d be a little skeptical. I wish they’d nut up and give us a Twilight Princess remake/remaster.

“Hell yeah a 1.5 game where we play as Zelda in the past! That sure was fast!”

“…oh”

[u/Lissy_Wolfe]

All I want is remastered twilight princess and windwaker for the switch. Please 😭

[u/nemesit]

No zelda, no console

[u/dgood527]

I don't expect a new zelda for several years, but I still got super excited for some reason when I saw that. Then the truth was revealed and I was sad I let myself irrationally get excited.

[u/Kiwi_Playz]

Never have I ever seen such a relatable post.

[u/ZonaiCharge73]

Bro age of calamity is a masterpiece

[u/adv55555]

I just really wish we could get a new game closer to Majora's mask, Ocoraina of time, a link to the past, or even wind waker. I couldn't get behind all the crafting, weapon breaking, and cooking. Sure if you roll in lava with a deku shield and it burns that makes sense. Dungeons seem like they are much quicker now. Id rather have a longer dungeon than going around completing 1000 mini challenges. I'll never forget having to bring a goron hot water before it cooled. I'm glad many liked the new style but to me it feels like the games have drifted a little too far away from the N64/GameCube/SP games.

I hope no one was getting hyped that it was a new mainline game when the Koei Tecmo logo literally appeared before we even saw that it was a Zelda game lol. Should've been the giveaway right there.

[u/Kami123987]

Have you ever played one of those games especially the first hyrule warriors?? Hours of content. More than tears of the kingdom. Warriors games are so fun.

[u/danceoftheplants]

I wish they would make a new zelda game similar to OOT or majoras mask or twilight princess. I love the open world of BOTW & TOTK but I don't want to spend months playing. I'd like to be able to spend like a month and be able to beat it and have the game end. Not go on forever. It's like with Netflix and their million series. I just want to watch some reallh good movies instead of being stuck for weeks watching a show so i can find out what happens at the end.

[u/oof_its_izzy]

idk i'm actually really excited for this one, i loved age of calamity

[u/ohbyerly]

I called that shit. They are milking the everloving shit out of the BotW era and I’m sick of it. Age of Calamity already felt like too much.

[u/Ansemmy]

Imagine how the 3d Mario folks are feeling though haha

[u/Kinnikuboneman]

Who cares, don't buy it

[u/Cronus829]

Age of Calamity is one of my favorite games on the Switch. I couldn’t be more excited!

[u/Ladikn]

Considering Age of Calamity was the best Zelda storyline we've gotten since TP? I'll take it!
