Impossible. Almost every game has been named after an item or person within the game that no one knew about beforehand. The Ocarina of Time did not exist before Ocarina of Time was made, the Wind Waker, the Minish Cap, the Phantom Hourglass, the Spirit Tracks, etc. There were no "Oracles" in the series until Oracle of Ages & Seasons. There was no Twilight Realm nor a Princess thereof until Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword as a phrase doesn't even make sense unless you know what the concept for the game is.

The only exceptions are Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and Link Between Worlds, and still you'd be hard-pressed to guess any of those ahead of time. But your best bet is to aim for something with "Link" in it, because it most likely will not contain any proper nouns that don't exist yet.

This.  I was going to write something exactly like this, then I saw you already did.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

Exactly, it's an exercise in futility. More fruitful would be guessing at the setting or theme.

Reminds me of all the people trying to guess the name of the 7th Harry Potter book before it was announced... I told them the same thing.



I would love it if they named it "The New Legend of Zelda."

I would also love it if they made it graphically impressive without ruining their artistic integrity AKA no dark, gritty Zelda. I want it to be as bright as Skyward Sword and Wind Waker but with an art style that takes notes from Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds (artwork). And I want a younger Link, like 14-15. Old enough to snarky but young enough to hold innocence.

And I want a new staple antagonist as likable as Ghirahim and Gant. And a Princess as likable as in Skyward Sword's Zelda. And a partner that is as likable as The King of Red Lion's, Midna, and Ezlo. And a return of Loftwings. And the Demise war.

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 2.

Here's hoping for a prequel to Majora's Mask that tells us more about the conception of Majora.
