Will Nintendo's Next Console Get Its Own Exclusive Zelda game?

It's reassuring to read some posts here, but I really don't buy the whole "they can reuse the assets" thing. Except for Majora's, which is a totally different situation, they always use new engines/assets for the game. If NX is about as powerful as an XB1 as some rumors say, I think reusing this engine would hold the game's potential, so they wouldn't do it.

If they don't reuse the Zelda U assets and engine, they are going to need another four-five years to release a new Zelda (or even more, given that the tech allows for bigger and more complex worlds and mechanics). That would be really worrying, specially with all the delays Nintendo takes with Zelda. Fans would not like having only two Zelda games per decade, even if they try to fill the space with spinoffs and remakes.

 

True. But I guess that'll be the case. 

Regarding the spin offs/remakes I think they aren't enough to please fans because honestly they are not that great. They are all solid atempts, but nothing groundbreaking. If they did a legimitimate spin off, with AAA aspect, I'm sure people would be satisfied and wait patiently. For one I'd love a spin off where you'd play as Princess Zelda, or even a hack n slash (in the soul of Platinum Games' games) featuring Impa mixed with some stealth mechanics.
