What would YOU like to see in the next Zelda game. (lemmy.world)

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 love the hyrule open area, but I hope that they move on to a new region. I know it's kinda out of the series to not have the common land marks, but it would be nice to introduce something completely different.

I loved WW, so maybe it could be fun with a game based on huge oceans which have different levels and tides, such that familiar areas reveal lower levels at different tides.

Even though I like the mechanic of climbing and being able to go anywhere, it seems to be a pretty heavily limiting factor for interesting map design. I'm just worried that the Zelda series will never be able to go back to a more "closed" world.
