Nintendo has given fans a glimpse of what’s next for The Legend of Zelda, and some might not be thrilled. The recently released Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment – a spin-off title currently scoring a 79 on Metacritic – kicks off the series on the Nintendo Switch 2. While a decent game, it doesn’t reach the heights of the main Zelda games. This leaves fans wanting more with only ports of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom available on the Switch 2 for now. The GameCube version of The Wind Waker is available through Switch Online, but it suffers from performance issues. Overall, longtime Zelda fans are anxiously awaiting the next major installment in the series.
Nintendo isn’t ready to share details about what they’re working on just yet. However, they recently hinted at the direction the series is heading, suggesting that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment could play a role in future games, or at least inspire them.
Eiji Aonuma Speaks
Eiji Aonuma, the producer of The Legend of Zelda for many years, hinted that players of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment might find clues about the next Zelda game if they pay attention.
According to Aonuma in an interview with 4Gamer, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is the first Zelda game on the Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo was hoping to be the first to release a Zelda title on the new console. He also mentioned that their work with Koei Tecmo on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity could influence future Zelda games, so players should keep that in mind while enjoying the game and look forward to what Nintendo creates next.
It’s strange to mention this if there isn’t some truth to it, but it’s hard to say what it could mean. Either way, people who didn’t enjoy Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity likely won’t be pleased with this new information and will probably hope it’s unfounded.
