Nintendo wants Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma to make a new IP, likes the idea of living as a thief

 

Eiji Aonuma has been closely tied to The Legend of Zelda having worked on the series since 1998 with Ocarina of Time. Could he eventually branch out and try something new in the future, though? Possibly.

In an interview with EDGE, Aonuma revealed that Nintendo has actually told him to make a new IP. But at the same time, they want him to continue with Zelda. Aonuma wouldn’t say too much more beyond this. He did mention that he’s interested in the idea “of a game where I can live as a thief,” but didn’t elaborate further.

Aonuma’s full comments:

Actually, Nintendo has been telling me to create a new IP. But then, they’re also telling me to make more Zelda games. I can’t really share much; I’m not sure I’m allowed to say anything. But I really like the idea of a game where I can live as a thief. That’s all I’ll say.”

I think he could do a great Star Tropics or Murasame Castle revival...
Or, you know, a new IP...



Have a nice day...

A new IP would be great

Nintendo needs more new IP so that would be great if this happens.



Behold the new Aonuma IP ...

Finally. It feels like all he's done in his career outside of that one SNES game is boost the legacy of Miyamoto. I don't know if he hasn't done a new IP because of his reluctance/indifference or because of Nintendo but It's about time he gets another shot to create something that's completely his.



That would be very nice.
He should definitely try to make new stuff. I am sure Nintendo would benefit from that.



Woah, Aonuma totally teased a new game for NX. :D

Yeah, totally. :)



so The Legend of Sly Cooper: A Thief's End ?

but seriously this is good news, while I would have prefered to see the Zelda team/Aonuma's take on the Metroid games or StarTropics It's really exciting, I don't know why but I think this could end up in either a 3+ game made for everyone to enjoy or an extremely gritty realistic and dark game and, given Aonuma was behind Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess, I feel like it's gona be the latter...

Also, this really gives me hope for Nintendo working on new IPs, we were shure that the message reached out to Nintendo after Splatoon's astonishing success but we really didn't know how much they would have tried to make new IPs, now that we know that even Aonuma, the head of the Zelda team which works on one of the most succesfull series of Nintendo', was suggested to try something new I really can't wait to see what NX has to offer, but I just hope Nintendo doesn't forget about the Metroid game we've been asking for...
