they will not go back to tears of the kingdom you are gaslighting everyone tears was a dlc
Midna's return
The Next Zelda game will looks like an Open World, like Breath of the Wild, but much bigger and graphics will be something amazing, can't wait i'm so excited for the Next Zelda game what will be relased for the Nintendo Switch 2! 😆
In legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom they did archeology correctly. Those who complain don’t understand the beauty that’s hidden within. You aren’t supposed to find stuff in order. When you find two clues to the past and adding more. Then the main point is for THE RESEARCH TO PIECE TOGETHER a possible timeline
All I care about is that Zelda returns to the classic format we’ve all grown up with (I’m not that big of a fan of the BOTW/TOTK style).
Give me a breath of the wild like open world, with dense dungeons like twilight princess, and a skyward sword level story.
That would be amazing.
Yesss
100%
100% agree
Plus diverse natural/story driven travel systems like all of them, sailing on the sea on wind waker was so calming, I think fast travel (although you don’t have to it feels necessary in the boring open land of botw and totk) takes away from the time and experience you get from the game
I just want to see link wear the green tunic again.
Then go find it in Totk and equip it.
fr it really should come back as the main fit again, it felt illegal having the blue champions tunic instead.
The green outfit he wears in the marketing has like the lowest armor rating too. And it looks pretty cool too 😢
@@Level_ElevenI know. Making that upgradable would be my "wish."
You can get it in Totk, the hylian shield and also majoras mask if you really want them
I think a way to work classic dungeons into an open world could be to have tiers of them. Both recent Zelda games gave you the full kit you needed to do just about everything right at the start. Every dungeon was designed with it being possible you go there first. I think by creating tiers of dungeons where you do a set of dungeons and then a major story beat happens before you open up a new tier of dungeons designed with the tools you got from the first dungeon in mind would be good.
I just want a darker Zelda title like Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess, but a different story.
Preferably not another open world.
Yes need another dark game , even if it’s a sequel to TOTK if they make it dark & weird like MM I’d love it
As long as it gets rid of the destructible weapons
Yes
yh all the weapons/tools from the previous games felt so special to find whilst with the new durability format it felt so mundane, I hope they bring back the upgrade system from skyward sword, where you need to upgrade your shield to be resistant to mobs in certain biomes.
Eh, having fuse largely addressed the issues with durability.
Exploring the first Great Calamity I think is something every Zelda fan would like to see since the Ancient Hero’s Aspect.
They should do a Skyrim-like game, where you have a big open world and there are plenty of settlements and dungeons/caves to explore, also they should continue the depths idea, just make it more flavorful and have NPCs down there you can interact with. As for the villain, I don’t care if they do Ganondorf or some new boss that wreaks havoc, but it would be cool if most of the map wasn’t just ruins.
I hope Demise returns and goes beast mode after Link coped with Ganon boi.
@@MarioFanXXL that’s what I’ve been thinking, and maybe since demise is in a different timeline, the Zoanie(sorry, couldn’t spell it) create a machine that allows link to travel to that time and hence, that world.
@@MarioFanXXLdemise returning would make zero sense in the lore. Most Zelda games with different villains kinda fall short. Ganondorf is the best option no matter how many times he appears.
Nintendo shoulda made totk ganondorf the same one from oot/tp. They could have put his body in a stasis after tp so he wouldn’t have resurrected. Would have made complete sense. The story would have been incredibly better than what we got. They just made some random ganondorf with no real motive as he sits under the castle all game long.. It was.. meh.
Return of a fan favorite character, Midna for instance.
My favorites (pls do not get mad if they suck):
Griharim
Zant
Stallord
Koloktos
Young Impa
Marin
King Rauru
Mineru
Basically the Zonai race itself
Ravio
Majora
The Moon
Tingle
Groose
Gaepora
Loftwings
Epona
My personal pipe dream? Ocarina remake, nothing but graphics and ui touchups EXCEPT... a Breath/Tears map to replace Hyrule Field.
Oh and please, full camera control. Archery minigame was rough with the C Buttons.
Legitimately never want to return to the world where breath of the wild orchards of the Kingdom took place.
“Excuse me, Princess.”
If that's not a line in the movie, we riot.
Nintendo needs to make a sequel to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity to tie up loose ends TOTK left us.
This is giving me the feels of:"Gamefreak please release ultra sword ultra shield to fix all the problems of the previous games" its sad
A new game called “the legend of link” where u play as Zelda and need to rescue link from ganadorf
That's basically two of the CD-i games.
i like the thought of a game where you play as a good version of ganondorf who knows what he's fated to be but tries to stray from it
is not ganadorf its perdedorf
Just give me the tech demo from 2011
I want the Oracle games to be remade instead of Minish Cap.
CD-i already did the idea of a playable Zelda. To be fair that is one of the better ideas they had.
I have heard what Ocarina of Time Link would sound like if he sang. I'm not against it.
I have seen fan made videos like a western version of Zelda where Link is still silent.
8:31 I can't take that face seriously >:D.
I want Link to wear his iconic green tunic again in the next Zelda game. And I've wish that he could talk. Hope Nintendo gets the message.
I'd like to see a remake of original 1980's Legend of Zelda. In Links Awakening or some HD2D style of graphics. #OGZeldaRemake. I'd be stoked if next Direct they teased it with original intro music, black screen and words "Where it all began". Then show 10 seconds of gameplay.
How about "Link Finally Kisses His Beloved?"
And then they marry and link becomes King? Hilarious!
About time he gets his "shape of water" moment with Mipha.... Lol.
Considered that Zelda’s love for Link awakened her power and Link’s love for Zelda turned her back into a human, I can see where this is going.
Especially how she tells Rauru and Sonia about him. I’m sure they would’ve approved Link as their son in law.
As long as Link isn't portrayed by Chris Pratt in the movie, I'm ok with anything
Before Nintendo announces a new Zelda game they need to first announce Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for the Switch.
In the end, we know nothing
One idea I would love to see, Take a page out of samurai Jack, Link is facing Ganon and is about to win but throws Link way into the future, where Ganon rules all, it would be bad, people would be miserable, monsters everywhere, so Link would have to travel to the past, each Dungeon would be a different Era of time and themed around that era, Link also happens to lose his master sword and shield when he was originally sent to the future, so Link has to get his Gear back, travel backwards in time, learn new techniques that he would have never lived to see and finally make it back to Ganon
That's sounds amazing! Hopefully it happens. I'd love to play that!
Imo the developers of ToTK lost the opportunity to put Zelda as a playable character in all the subterranean part of the game. Zelda is a researcher in this game. Would be so cool to see her making discoveries about the ancients, and doing so they could avoid the silly time travel dragon changing sequences.
Great video! A agree with many of the points covered.
For me, I'd love to see a playable Zelda and have the story taken to another Kingdom. Maybe even encounter another Princess and another Hero. A completely new Kingdom :)
A playable Zelda is exactly what we all expected in Tears of the Kingdom.
There is such we do not know only glimpses of her adventures in the distant past.
Plus, it would be nice if we see Link and Zelda’s relationship grow since after Breath of the Wild.
It seems like they could use the current map and overlay a Twilight Realm on to it. Gannon coming back from twilight or soething like that. Start off in the relatively safe sky and venture down. Twilight deeps could be a place of true nightmares.
Yea.....the Link talking thing shouldn't happen/if it DOES happen then he should say very little. It's been stated time after time Link is NOT mute we just dont hear him talk since its more of a player assertion thing to include that the player makes up what Link sounds like and what he says when multiple dialogue options are present. ALSO adding onto that Daruk says Link is quiet but is similar to how a tough guys actions speak louder than his words.
A feature I want back that wasnt in this video, let us name our "Links" save file again, or give us multiple again.
and a side note that most RPG have now but I think COULD MAYBE fit Zelda franchise....allow us to change genders or race??? IDK that one might be a dumb one. (adding onto this imagine the hero of time is a female ten from the Gerudo region instead of a Hylian
The storytelling was an issue in BOTW and TOTK, that's true. Watching the same cutscene of the Imprisoning War every time you finished a dungeon was quite annoying. I hope Nintendo deals with this issue in a TOTK sequel by showing that cutscene ONCE at a late point in the game.
Also, i hope to see Demise make a comeback in the future. He was responsible for all the crap the many links in the zelda-timeline had to suffer through, after all. But yes, a new villain is cool.
And the mysterious continent in "decayed Hyrule" is sure something Nintendo NEEDS to explain! What is it? Who lives there? Is there more than just Hyrule? ME. NEED. ANSWER!!!!
You did good with the art
I think the new game will be awesome
If in being of movie, link could talk but his voice box get damaged so he can't speak anymore
lol 😂
I have this fantasy in my head that Nintendo teases us and shows the Legend of Zelda title on a screen and then “Zelda” fades away to become “Hylia” in a game where we get to play as Hylia as she is depicted in Skyward Sword, but in a BOTW style open world.
They need to do a Twilight Princess Spin-Off, maybe have new bosses? Maybe have playable Zelda, and Ganon unlockable? Kinda like Mario games where you can unlock Bowser.
the temples in tears are way too simple compared to the divine beasts. i like the temple aesthetic but its ruined when i finish the temple in less than 10 minutes with little to no difficulty.
A sequel type game to the likes of Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess, with the same dark undertones, would be something to look forward to in a future installment. Or perhaps a game set during the time of when the villain Demise was coming into power and set in motion of how Link, Zelda and Ganondorf were forever connected upon the defeat of Demise.
I would love to see a hybrid game combining elements from TOTK and BOTW, featuring time travel and incorporating the storyline and characters from Age of Calamity. Rather than a direct sequel, it could be a creative remix that takes advantage of the many assets available. While I anticipate a TOTK DLC for the Switch 2, we might also see remakes, spin-offs, and even 2D versions similar to Metroid or a top-down perspective. These could keep us entertained until a reboot eventually arrives!
If there's REALLY going to be a Brand New Zelda game coming up soon, I Absolutely want Ganondorf himself to be the Official Main Antagonist in the game!
Fans have been dying for a playable Zelda since Skyword Sword. And it would’ve been a great way to make it happen in Tears of the Kingdom since the story itself is divided into two.
Personally I wanted to see more of her journey to the distant past since we only get glimpses, learn more about the Zonai, providing background to Ganondorf’s character, some info on the Ancient Sages, and more.
A companion story would of been a great DLC for TOTK if not the cancellation decision Fujibayashi and Aonuma had made in the 2023 Game Awards.
personally I really dont see the appeal, I mean work together with her inn dungeons to solve puzzles? yeah sure cool, but what is the actual reason to play as Zelda? what is her schtick? she's not a warrior princess. so what would be the reason to play as Zelda?! I hear a lot of people say it but never seen a good reason as to why they want it. AoC was funny but not an accurate portrayal of the canon sheikah slate which were her powers then. imagine link with his skillset AND an overpowered sheikah slate. see what I mean? it doesn't make sense. I think story wise they took an interesting turn with her, but id rather see her in a good story than in a mediocre gameplay variant, Link is just the warrior and Zelda the scholar/main sage/holder of triforce of wisdom. putting her in the gameplay lead just doesn't make sense to me that is :p
@@gregpl9363 Thats only wild zelda. In OOT she is a shiekah, in TP she led an army, in hyrule warriors she fights on teh frontlines alongside link. Zelda doesn't have definitive roles beyond wielding triforce of wisdom usually but even that was broken in the wild era with hylia and the goddesses taking a complete backseat and not being relevant to the plot at all.
@@dave9515 yeah no agreed to that. I Was surprised as heck after all the build up which seemed to allude to totk being a follow up to some of the previous main titles, then literally nothing of old lore was seen in game XD still loved it to pieces tho but yeah no hylia, no (real) triforce presence and all lore got snuffed out by zonai.
And granted I would've enjoyed a Sheik spinoff in which you get trained by Impa and have a concept like "the shadow wars" in the 7 year span of Link being in the Chamber of Sages, or even after the happenings in the adult timeline something would be possible. but leading an army isn't the same as fighting on the frontlines, even the sword she carried in TP wasn't a battle sword as much as a status/royalty blade. and the Hyrule warriors.... I mean you can fight as Tetra and even Tingle I think... not much of a comparison. I get what you're saying, but there just isn't much to it and I think the moment people get to play as Zelda in a mainline title it'll be like " oh cool! ... alright imma switch to link for just a sec..." if they dont make her super OP that is and im kind of done with that trope too.
Just gave Zelda a different set of abilities from Link and she's ready to go as a playable character. Hell, Ocarina of Time was the perfect opportunity for a playable Zelda since they could have done with Sheik what Resident Evil 4 does with Ada Wong.
@@lukejones7164 Same goes for Skyward Sword and Tears of the Kingdom.
Im still want to Twilight princess on switch
Bro, me too! Twilight Princess is my favourite Zelda game of All Time! 😊
@@Leo-pd4fc my too
I want too player can chose what version you Want Play normal mode or mirror version no hero mode
@@mikimikoajczak7900 that's so awesome, I still have it on a Wii, but is it worth it for a Wii U?
@@mikimikoajczak7900 ooh that would be so cool!
For the next open world Zelda game, I want a continuation of the Wild Era where Link, Zelda and the Sages (Sidon, Tulin, Riju and Yunobo) set out on an exploration of foreign lands outside of Hyrule by sea since Penn and Sidon’s wife Yona are foreigners.
Let alone bringing back Kass since our favorite NPC is absent in TOTK. some players have a theory that he travelled to other lands to spread the ancient songs and the tale of “the hero and the princess”
That’s something Nintendo and the Zelda team should take note on!
Yeah, sort of like some expedition or something. Maybe they could have some goal or something, like finding where the sheikah tech went or whatever.
BEST IDEA EVER! NINTENDO, STEP ASIDE! THIS GUY SHOWS YOU HOW IT IS DONE!!!
In my opinion, Horizon Forbidden West and Horizon Zero Dawn took the Breath of the Wild format and perfected it. For the next Zelda game, they could do something similar as well as add other features both old and new. What I'm talking about is an open world with deadly enemies where you can craft consumable items and ammunition. Top that with the classic Zelda weapons like the sword and hookshot that do not degrade. Add the option to upgrade your weapons with their own separate upgrade trees so that your link will be forever different than your friend's.
As for the dungeons, like the Horizon series' cauldrons, you can have dungeons that feel like classic Zelda dungeons in an open world. If you wish to expand on this, add different routes to each dungeon with varying difficulties. Finally, as far as the story goes, make it as dark as Twilight Princess but engaging enough to draw in new players. A neat feature would be to allow you to attempt the dungeons in any order with the story and final boss changing greatly depending on the order you do them in.
Honestly, I'd be most happy revisiting the Era of Twilight and getting either a sequel or prequel to Twilight Princess.
Just, I'm begging you Nintendo, leave the BoTW art style and make your shading closer to the real world. That art is really what I hated about the Era of the Wilds games the most.
Personally, I'd love to finally see Wind Waker on a console I own, or see Oracle of Ages get the Link's Awakening treatment.
Link talks in the manga soo im not against it
Big, dynamic cities. No shrines, only dungeons.
Valley of the Flood.
That was the most excited I ever got for any Zelda rumor since it needed to adhere to the groundwork laid by Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker.
If they made something in that vein, they could make Zelda the main protagonist, since the Hero of Time effectively no longer exists in that part of the timeline. It would have a downer ending, for sure, but I think it would be compelling as hell. They could even optimize parts of Ocarina’s world and show us what happened to it after the flood. It won’t happen, though, so I guess I’ll continue to dream 😅
Link doesn't speak because Zelda clearly muted him after he said "Excuse me princess!" one too many times.
This is how the "Link speaks" thing is gonna go: he more likely than not will speak in the upcoming movie and much how they released Mario Wonder right after to cash in on the popularity of the Mario movie, there will likewise be a smaller Zelda spin-off to do the same. Thats the game where Like will speak for the first time and depending on its reception could change the tradition forever.
Edit: obviously I wrote this before finishing the whole video. Because he pretty much said the same thing. Oops
Same graphics and physics engine, but set in a different land. Link accompanies Zelda on a diplomatic mission and things go away. Would like TP or MM vibes. Darker and weirder.
I would like to see a more expansive wind waker take. Like a Zelda with an Assassin's Creed: Black Flag vibe. I think that would be cool.
All I care about is the art style I miss the twilight princess artstyle and links green tunic
Maybe have Sheik return since it was technically Zelda. Have Sheik and Link work together.... Also I would love to see The story of Twilight Princess be revisited... base the game in the world of Twilight completely.
Link gotta speak.. or unless they forgot Link's catchphrase... Exxxxxxxuuuuuucusssseeeee Me!
This is gonna take at least 5 years from now. Way to early to even think about it imho.
It's going to be an always online "looter-shooter", with content released over the course of various seasons.
No it won't. Link doesn't use a gun.
Another idea is seeing what actually happened to the hero of time, playing with a older bad ass Link thats been seasoned over years, would be awesome
I think it would be dope if they dwell into time travel again. And go deep into the future. Imagine link in a city that looks like new York loll
How about a Zelda set in Hytule's future staring an old man Link?
Multiplayer spin off Nintendo. Please. But not Kart Racing.
Just gave Zelda a different set of abilities from Link and she's ready to go as a playable character. Hell, Ocarina of Time was the perfect opportunity for a playable Zelda since they could have done with Sheik what Resident Evil 4 does with Ada Wong.
the new map will be opening the border mountains of the Hyrule map. making the 3 more quadrants available. setting all of the series maps into one massive Zelda-verse. imagine if the current map is just a kingdom available on the lower right of the entire Pangaea map of their world.
Just give me actual dungeons back. And no, Totk’s dungeons didn’t improve anything just by calling them “temples”. In fact, they were even less interesting without the structural manipulation, even if it may have gotten annoying at times. Gimme a labyrinth with a cool dungeon item again!
a new game with the plot twist that beedle is the villian mastermind behind everything o-o
but honestly speaking, it would be kinda funny for long term players to see Beedle as some type of bad guy like a swindler. Some side note things Id love to be explored: removing durability and having upgradeable weapons/tools, like skyward sword needing specific artifacts for upgrades to become resistant to certain biomes (breaks down an open world into invisible levels), having the next game villain already completely rule over the kingdom where link enters to overthrow and take it back, rather than him entering during the act of it being 'taken over', to make for a more dangerous hyrule (slowly releasing settlements and villages from control similar to how the twighlight realm had already gained most domains), bring back some type of companion (any deeper connection like Midna, Fi to even Epona), mythical beings such as the light elder guardians/dragons/bluepees/fairies have been present throughout the timeline, so it would be interesting to explore these a bit deeper in the next game (exploring magic, i.e. elemental power from completing dungeons) the list goes on really lol.
Whatever it may be, i hope nintengo steps their game up and come up with decent hardware, playing games at 720p in 2024 is insane, that resolution was the standard 15 years ago.
Maybe it will be back in time to when Zelda got sent back to the time of the imprisoning war and not have link in it but brief mentions of him like in the memories in totk
I would like to see a mmorpg version of The Legend of Zelda however it’s not like trifoce heroes but more action and true dungeons that you have to grind through and with temples that takes weeks to master but it can be completed both alone or with a group. That would be awesome.
Mission to the moon to repair the red moon thing somehow
Remake of either Minish cap or the oracle games
It's about time someone acknowledges the Oracle games existence.
Minish cap? Ugh hell no. Also playable zelda is a very dumb idea.
I want a return to the old-easier-format of the older Zelda games.
Needs to also get rid of the “upgraded storage space”. Like nah just give me the master sword and let me upgrade it to be indestructible again and same with the shield. Do away with the korok seeds. Bad idea all around.
Link NEEDS to speak. It's time.
A totk with termina, and majora lore, with majora aspects. FUCK YES PLEASE
Thought we were getting dlc with Zelda in the lead but watching this video made me think it might be better to make it’s own game like hyrule warrior
I want the triforce back 🙏
I think with one of the issues if Link spoke is an accent, as some people really hate certain voices, I remember someone calling himself Arlo, changed the language to Spanish, as he hated the English speaking.
Nintendo must do a partnership with FromSorftware and make a Souls-like game... it would be awesome!! you can choose between races (Hylian, goron, Gerudo, Zora, Twili, etc) each one with unique battle styles and story lines with different endings to achieve!
The best thing about the Zelda series is that we just don't know. Whatever it is will be decisive in the build-up and finish like a perfect Zelda game we couldn't imagine not getting. The Hero of Time time-line would be my first choice, but as for the style of game, it's anyone's guess.
Ok
Don't get me wrong
I LOVED Tears of the kingdom
But I kinda feel this was a miss opportunity
To bring Demise,
Ghirahim
And the Goddess Hylia back
This version of Ganon ( in both BOTW & TOTK)
Felt so different
Like SUPER op
I was hoping this was leading to a big epic final battle against Demise.
Like
Link, Zelda
And even Ganondorf
Free themselves from the curse
That it was the end of Demise Influence
And the beginning of a new age
Where the formula would completely change
Like the recreation of Ganondorf Is a Ally
Or we don't follow Link and zelda story
But their child/children
Facing whole new evil forces! XD
TOTK is way too big, having 3 "floors" of open world left too much to explore and feels like something I'll complete in a few years
What if.. you play.. as... zelda.
If they made a metroidvania Zelda game, much like Zelda 2 but with the time, patience, and care of Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread. I could see that being one of the best Zelda games of all time. All these incredible metroidvania games coming out, I could easily see Nintendo take a swing and make a outstanding Zelda game in that format. It can be open world, it can have dungeons, it won't be so linear, and it would be something new. I know I would spend countless hours playing a metroidvania Zelda game.
I think they are gonna do something with multiplayer, like they did in Mario brothers wonders with the ghosts. It would be optional like in souls or monster hunter games
They should make the open world smaller but content filled they don’t need to do something huge to make a good game
I think it will be TOTK, but you play it as Princess Zelda.
Zelda games always push their system to the limits can’t imagine what the next will be like
Greetings from Venezuela, South America. 🇻🇪 I love The Legend of Zelda. 💪
I would love to play as a different race in a Zelda spinoff, like how Majora's let you be a deku/goron/zora, but more fleshed out as it would specify a single race. Playing as a Ruth and being able to actually fly would be cool. Don't get me wrong, I love link and his never-ending stoicism but the way combat was handled in BOTW and TOTK kinda got stale for me.
Hopefully they go back to the styles of WW, TP, and OoT
I hope they make part 4 for the new ones they have botw totk and the back in the day about the sprits on botw u get see them alive in the other game so there’s three but I think there should be forth and it should be back in time maybe? And we get to play as that fox guy or whatever he is the suit u can get link to wear
The JPN version of BOTW and TOTK shows Link does speak and wrote his thoughts on the journey entry. Thus, his feelings for Zelda.
Here’s an example after collecting the final memory:
“Even if it’s just a moment sooner, I want to save her as quickly as possible. I want to see her smile again, with these eyes (of my own)."
We need a Game about Zelda save Link instead Link save Zelda. I mean the tittle is "Legend of Zelda" and many people in the past (not player) called Link as Zelda.
Honestly i really want a "Sheik" Gaiden at some point... Imagine the princess basically doing an action game like Tomb Raider but geared up more like DMC.
If Nintendo decides to use the BotW/TotK engine again, I'd live to see a "Hyrule Builders"-type game. Ganondorf is defeated, the Princess is saved...and Hyrule is a bloody _wreck._ As Link and/or Zelda, you traverse the land that's now full of Sky Island remains that had fallen after TotK to rebuild the once-mighty kingdom. Speak to various peoples to slowly expand and build-upon habitable land (as in, recruit Gorons to open/rebuild roads & mine the depths for resources, recruit the Rito to survey the lands for the best ore/mineral locations, recruit from every race for rebuilding all the destroyed settlements Tarrey Town-style with each race having their own aesthetics and cost/benefits (Hylians being average across the board, Zora being excellent at art but horrible at durability, Gerudo being great for minigames like the Ranch but being resource-expensive, etc.)). But not all the monsters under the "Demon King" vanished with his defeat, and "your character" can join with other soldiers and the Champions in both offense against their outposts and defense of the settlements.
However, as you progress through the rebuilding of Hyrule, the game slowly reveals the history of the Kingdom and tales that heroes have been needed in the distant past. That other monstrosities have previously arisen only to be beaten back or sealed away then forgotten. Evils that a kingdom that has lost its history will accidentally uncover and unleash. And while part of the game will certainly be a "SimCity-like" experience of resource management & building, the other focus will be on exploration and combat. And as Hyrule and the "Underdark" are explored and dug-up, ancient structures are found. Labyrinthian. _Dungeonous._ Filled with beasts that didn't make the cut in the previous two games. And at the heart of it all will be an evil beyond reasoning searching for the one power that even the Zonai Sacred Stones couldn't match. A legendary power recalled only in religious mysticism yet not seen since well before the Zonai descended upon Hyrule...a time when the Goddess Hylia walked the land.
Or that's my thought at least. Part builder, part action/adventure, taking from the best of the entire series by bringing back the exploration of a wide-open Hyrule that's suddenly limited & needing re-exploration with classic puzzle/trap/combat-filled dungeons, the outposts/villages taking the place of the Towers for fast-travel (hence why you _want_ to rebuild & populate each village/garrison/amusement/etc.), and with the loss of the Sheikah Slate/Rauru Hand a return to classic dungeon items that can wear with use to being near-worthless (but not breaking) that can be restored as-needed and even upgraded by the same resources used to rebuild Hyrule.
A Sims/Tower defense could fit Hyrule pretty well too... Like how those Zombie horde survivals used to be only using blood moons and a questing hero instead of zombies.
We need true dungeons back, more along the styles of majoras mask, ocarina of time, or twilight princess. The open world dungeons on the last two games haven’t been the best. Feels like the same old dungeon over and over again.
All I care about is that Zelda returns to the classic format we’ve all grown up with (I’m not that big of a fan of the BOTW/TOTK style).
I would really love a Twilight Princess remake on Switch!
I want TP and WW remakes and a new Hyrule warriors with Totk’s characters,like age of calamity.
4:13 ah yes, minish cap
It would be a terrible decision to have link talk in any game or even in the upcoming movie. They have done it twice in the past (even though Nintendo wasn’t linked to either of those titles) and it had turned out really really bad. There are movies with silent protagonists and they’re honestly my favorite trope
I would take a larger scale sequel to wind waker same art style. Underwater submarine and more islands, blend with some of the current style.
I would like for them to keep the Hyrule of BotW and TotK, but put Link and Zelda on a journey outside of Hyrule to explore how the other countries around Hyrule dealt with the Calamity and help the residents to rebuild their homelands. Add new bosses and a playable Zelda to the mix and I'm good. Oh and I want Link to be able to explore underwater worlds like in MM. One last thing, I would love to see a prosperous, thriving Hyrule without enemies lurking at every corner. I want to see and interact with the people of Hyrule while they rebuild everything.
