Series producer Eiji Anonuma recently gave an interview with Game Informer, in which he talked a little about the future of The Legend of Zelda series. Unfortunately, the last two adventures will not be expanded into a trilogy.
It’s relatively rare for a new mainline Zelda game to be a direct sequel to the previous installment, with Majora’s Mask being the last until Tears of the Kingdom. When the next Zelda arrives, according to its producer, it will be something entirely new.
Eiji Aonuma had already spoken at the beginning of the year that the upcoming The Legend of Zelda would be different from any previous game, and now, Detective game He stated in his interview that he did not want to “Making a sequel to a sequel”. According to him, the potential that Breath of The Wild offered as a basis and Tears of the Kingdom maxed out has already been exhausted. According to him, this year’s episode is the apotheosis, that is, The Legend of Zelda “the final form”.
Maybe that’s exactly why it doesn’t get DLC as well, the developers included everything they wanted. Furthermore, fans won’t get to see the Ultrahand ability that debuted in Tears of the Kingdom. With this ability, our hero can assemble anything from different world items, vehicles, weapons and structures. The studio has no intention of bringing back this great basic idea, as the goal is to “create something new” in the next installment.
What about reproduction?
Aonuma revealed a few things about this as well. In 2019, we got the modern form of Link’s Awakening, and it’s no surprise that fans have been craving an Ocarina of Time remake for a long time. Interestingly, the producer was also the co-director of the 1998 episode, and when asked now, simply put it “no comment” He replied: That is, he cannot confirm or deny the reality of renewal. For many fans, that’s enough.
