| curl-6 said: It took Nintendo 6 years to make TOTK; no way a next gen mainline Zelda is coming before 2030 IMO. We'll probably get spinoffs and stuff before that to ease the wait though. |
I think it could land anywhere between fall 2028 and 2030. Both BOTW and TOTK took 6 years, and given TOTK is a direct sequel set in BOTW world I think that says a lot about how complex it was to implement those new gameplay systems. If the next Zelda is a bit less revolutionary and either refines what TOTK done ( like suggested by recent 3 way fusion patent) or relies on new, more simple USP I think we could see shorter dev cycle (as early as fall 2028).
Personally hoping it's a slightly more simple/intuitive gameplay hook (less menu/item navigation) and more emphasis on a detailed/dense world versus a huge one.
