Never say never. I thought I’d have the same issue with BotW, but it turns out I can’t go back to other Zeldas because they feel so contrived. xD

Anyway, I think they will do some spin offs so something interesting might be coming.

"Never" is probably a bit much, but it'll probably take 10-15 years until people get tired of the whole open-world/do it in any order thing, and even then it'll never be the same thing again since they'll likely keep stuff like voice acting (Which I didn't like at all).

Would be great if I got that gameplay back through a spinoff but that's highly unlikely to happen imo, since every Zelda spinoff has been vastly different from the main series style (Crossbow Training was a small minigame/tech demo, Hyrule Warriors is just a Musou game, there's the Tingle games on DS too, etc).

I also personally don't get this "I can't go back to other Zeldas" feeling because to me BotW is a completely different genre compared to the previous games.

I’m somewhere in the middle between you guys. I love Breath of the Wild, but I also love Ocarina, Majora, Wind Waker, TP, and SS. Great game design comes in many forms.

And even if Zelda as a series doesn’t return to the 1992-2013 model, you still have a lot of “clones” like Ittle Dew, Blossom Tales, and, I imagine, Darksiders 3. So there’s hope!
