Is it Time for a New Zelda Game?

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in 2017 to wild reviews, earning Link-Cable’s highest ever score awarded to a game at the time, and generally being considered a return to form to a series that was always great but who’s recent 3D entries didn’t seem to match the franchises’ lofty expectations. Now Zelda fans are usually used to having to wait a considerable amount of time between the main entries in the series (six years separated Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild) but with the Switch Nintendo has seemingly thrown out the playbook and is taking a new approach to both their release schedule and their approach to game development, which begs the question – might we be getting a new Zelda game sooner rather than later? I think we are."

Let's see here:
ALttP: 1991
Links Awakening: 1993
OoT: 1998
MM: 2000
OoA/OoS: 2001
WW: 2002
Minish Cap: 2004
TP: 2006
Phantom Hourglass: 2007
Spirit Tracks: 2009
Skyward Sword: 2011
ALBW: 2013
BotW: 2017

I wouldn't expect a full-fledged huge 3D Zelda title anytime soon based on that pattern, but a 2D one is a possibility.

Atom6662020d ago

I wonder if they'll still invest in a Zelda game on 3ds. I guess a 2d game on Switch is still a possibility.

I agree with you. Even using the BotW engine wouldn't give us a 3d title anytime soon.

Theknightofnights2020d ago

There were rumors of a ALttP remake on the ALBW engine for the 3DS. Which I would honestly love.

Oh... my... god... i (and my gf) would totally gush over a 2d Zelda. Pleease make this happen! And a new 2d Metroid while we are on the topic (couldnt help myself). Nintendo has a MOUNTAIN of cash, theres virtually no reason to not do either of these... or both for that matter. Thanks for your walk down memory lane, but why come up with all that Nintendo greatness and stop there??? Here, ill finish it for you!

1986: The Legend of Zelda
1987: The Adventures of Link

If we were to get a 2D Zelda id love for it to focus solely on Link like The Advantures of Link. Make it a game thats a follow up to the 1987 game.

3d Zelda you say? Sometime near the end of this gen/beg of next... anyone who anyone knows that ☺

I'm just wondering when they're gonna port over Twilight Princess HD & Wind Waker HD & if they're gonna remaster Skyward Sword. I'd really like to play em on Switch.

King_Noctis2021d ago

All I want is Wind Waker. I hope they port it someday.

InTheZoneAC2021d ago

One like A Link Between Worlds (no motion controls) and a real console one with actual dungeons (no motion controls either)

NecrumOddBoy2021d ago

Could port ALBW to Switch. That would be nice.

execution172020d ago

Pretty sure they'd shoehorn motion controls on there somewhere

The 7 Best Selling Switch Games of All Time

The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?

GotGame81885d ago

Animal crossing came out the week the entire world shutdown. Yeah I bought it.

kevco3385d ago

Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!

I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!

DivineHand12585d ago

Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.

kevco3385d ago

It's the Capcom method:

1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.

this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
