That would be great. Don’t get me wrong: BOTW and TOTK are awesome and easily some of the best games I ever played. Yet, I’d love some games from other developers. Minish Cap is an exellent example. It was flawless and so much fun.
I doubt they’d trust another company with a “mainline” Zelda game. The IP is too valuable to them. I could see more Hyrule Warriors type games but I reckon Nintendo will keep most of their main development in house, and I’m not sure they want to make that kind of game anymore from what they say, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. One thing I wonder about is what’s next? They made two great open world games now and maybe they’ll move on from that formula too. But to what? Who knows.
I would loooove if we could get top down Zelda games occasionally between BotW-style games. Like how we get 2D and 3D Mario games. I definitely don’t need an Ocarina of Time type of Zelda anymore though. That version aged and doesn’t hold up very well anymore IMO.
I would love another game similar to minish cap (one of my favorite) but I doubt it
2d zelda is my absolute favorite and I do hope we haven’t seen the last of them. I’d even settle for a Seasons/Ages reboot. 😩
Someone in another post suggested Blossom Tales, I’m 2 hours into the first game (which is $4 CAD on sale on Steam) and while it is an obvious Zelda clone, they made some interesting changes and the game is fun.
Seconding this, blossom tales is super fun of you’re looking for a 2d Zelda experience, and if you’re alright with diverging a lot more but keeping the same vibe, both Tunic and Crosscode are fantastic games as well.
