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?

To be honest, other than theming, the old Zelda dungeons are overrated. Every dungeon from LttP and on -- you're going to get an item, and that item is critical to unlocking the 2nd half of the dungeon. It's exceedingly linear. I don't consider boomerang lock-on for 5 targets or using fire arrows to light torches amazing gameplay.

I do love totks crazy spinning fan torch puzzles.

I'm convinced lately the fan praise of Twilight Princess is due to youth having this as their first game. It doesn't hold a candle to what OoT or Majora's Mask was. Even then, OoT is LttP in 3d (for the first time, and it was phenomenal).
