Pretty much, while there were games that pushed the X1 hard from other developers (the likes of Witcher 3, Dying Light, Bright Memory Infinite, Doom Eternal, Crysis 1/2 Remastered, and FAST RMX come to mind) the most impressive first party games are borderline miraculous for what's now an eight year old mobile SoC.

Obviously, better graphics don't necessarily mean better games, but it's still gonna be interesting to see what Nintendo and co decide to do with their first generational leap in power since the Wii U.

Makes me worried how long its gonna take to make the next Zelda. With how long TotK took, considering all it was keeping from BotW, building a brand new next-gen looking world as big or bigger than the BotW/TotK world, with presumably a whole new slew of gameplay features makes me think its gonna take almost 10 years to build lol. The next Zelda might barely even hit next gen before the next next gen starts.

I hope they are already in the planning stage for the next Zelda game.

For this reason I could actually see them releasing a remastered TotK early next gen just to give a sort of next gen version of TotK to play while gamers have to wait the entire generation for the next Zelda to come out.

It's definitely a concern, and I very much doubt we'll get the sequel to Tears of the Kingdom before 2029.

It is worth remembering though that covid hit Nintendo really hard, so TOTK possibly could've been out in 5 years rather than 6 if not for the pandemic.

EDIT: Oops, didn't see this had already been addressed, my bad.

Nintendo have definitely put themselves in a tricky position where the pressure to constantly one up themselves with games as mind blowing as BOTW and TOTK is going to be enormous.

Still, they were already in this position when making TOTK yet managed to deliver.
