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?

Well, that has always been the case with any weapon. Magic will still be more powerful than a bullet.

I guess it is more about aesthetics than logic for me. The technology would dictate the kind weapons (laser pistols, light sword, remote, controlled bombs), navigation (motorcycle, hovercraft, jetpack), puzzles, (hacking, pushing boxes will never go out of style).

Enemies can still be monsters, they don't need to be robots.

Magic does not suddenly evaporate with the development of technology. They can be separate abilities, or integrate mana style into objects.

As far as Ganon goes, whatever. If the Star Fox team can fuck up a giant ape with an arwing, link can handle a big ass hog with a gun.

I suppose you make some good points. It would take someone far more creative than I to meld that fantasy and scifi aesthetic, while still maintaining THE Zelda feel we all love

They would need to be more creative than me too!
