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?

I hope the success of BotW and TotK doesn't mean we'll never get another traditional Zelda game.

I'm in the camp of people who love the traditional Zelda formula, and I was sorely disappointed with BotW to the point that I lost all interest in TotK and will probably not buy another zelda game if they continue the new formula.

Perhaps Nintendo could incorporate both formulas in some way, or maybe alternate between traditional Zelda and new Zelda games in the future?

I get what you're saying and I'd be disappointed if they stopped doing older style zelda games just like you. But I also the BotW and TotK are amazing games in their own right and you're missing out. You should give them a shot.

I did try BotW. Finished it, even. But I didn’t enjoy it, sadly, which leaves me in the position I’m in. I’m not inclined to try TotK given it is very similar to its predecessor.
