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?
As much as I love BOTW and TOTK, for the next Zelda game I’d like to see another top-down game (Link between worlds, the link’s awakening remake, etc).
If they don’t want to make a whole new game I’d love to see the Oracle games remade, or even Minish Cap.
As far as I know, Nintendo has signaled that they wish to continue making these vast open world games.
But they are certainly leaving money on the table if they don’t license out the property for the creators of the Link’s Awakening remake, to make something completely new of their own creation.
Would also love for them to get back in bed with Capcom and see what can be made from a top down perspective.
