Nintendo hasn’t officially announced a new Legend of Zelda game that would follow Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but it’s almost certainly being developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. With Tears of the Kingdom nearing its three-year anniversary, an announcement could be coming soon. While 2026 might be too early for a reveal, 2027 seems like a reasonable timeframe. Recently, a new report has appeared online, potentially offering the first details about the next Zelda game on the Switch 2.
A new report from Nick Baker, a reliable source known within the Xbox community, details information about the next Zelda game. While Baker usually focuses on Xbox news, he’s accurately reported on Nintendo in the past. He recently shared several details on the Xbox Era podcast, but didn’t mention when the game will be officially announced.
More Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
According to industry analyst Baker, the next Legend of Zelda game will likely be built on the same technology as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, though with some improvements. This suggests the new game will play similarly to those titles.
Baker also explains that the game has a unique element involving different dimensions, which is key to how the puzzles work. For instance, you might be running from a bull in one dimension and then activate something in another by hitting a target. Players will gain abilities that let them move between dimensions and even create rifts in reality as they try to combine these different worlds.
Baker doesn’t give a specific release date, but he believes the next Nintendo Switch game is still several years off. This likely means we won’t see an announcement as early as 2026, though he didn’t explicitly say that – it’s just a reasonable guess based on his comments.
Look, I’m super excited about all this info, but I’m trying to keep in mind it’s not official. Even if it is true right now, things can change quickly when they’re making a game, so don’t take anything as set in stone! It’s all just what we know right now, and that could easily change down the line.
So, Nintendo isn’t giving us any details about the next Zelda game yet, but they did hint that the recent spin-off they released last year might have a big impact on how the new one plays. It’s interesting to think about how that game could shape the next main-line Zelda adventure!
