Personally I am loving the format of the current switch games, and Nintendo has signaled that they intend to keep making games in this style though not necessarily a sequel.
I would love first and foremost for the story telling to be brought back to the standards of Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.
Also, to me the best thing in the 3D games has always been the pacing, you have your first initial quest, that leads to Link powering up in a few different ways. Then Link is set on a second quest, becoming more powerful again. Then a twist of some sort, though that’s optional. Then finally the climactic battle with the big bad. I would also like to see more of an after story, though it is traditional for that to not be a thing at this point.
As for settings, I would LOVE to see a game set after spirit tracks in New Hyrule in the midst of an industrial revolution, mixed with magic.
How about you, what are your wishlist items for the next/future Zelda games?
I don’t personally think Nintendo could handle an MMO in their current state. Just look at literally all of their games with online capabilities. While I do think it would be cool, I don’t see it in the cards.
I completely agree about items etc. I miss key items being special and uniquely used for their purposes in puzzles. My personal favorite had always been the hook shot and I miss it dearly.
Yeah, that’s fair. Their online in general is way behind. I don’t understand how Sega could do it in the late 90s and Microsoft’s been doing it for ~20 years and yet Nintendo still can’t/won’t get it together.
I too enjoyed the hook shot a lot. I also don’t want so many items that only get used for 1 dungeon or have little to no use outside of dungeons.
Looking at you Spinning Wheel in TP lol.
I think as much as Nintendo wants to push into connectivity and all that, there’s still an older more conservative chunk of the company that see no need to transition into those things.
