After garnering over 50 perfect scores, it's safe to say that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was well received from media and gamers alike. With the game being so popular, it's understandable that Nintendo would look at the features in Breath of the Wild and look to implement them elsewhere.
Series producer Eiji Aonuma has already made it clear that the open-world feature would become a series staple from here on out, though he's said things like that before that never really panned out. In a new interview with Nikkei Trendy, Aonuma detailed that Zelda fans can expect a couple surprises in the future.
Here's a rough translation of the interview:
“First of all I think the point that ‘this is a Zelda’ is big. It’s a series that has been continuing for a long time, if I am to put it in words then perhaps everyone would have thought it’s not that simple to do a ‘reform’.
Furthermore, that reform causes a ‘surprise’ to all our users who have played Zelda until now, since it exceeds their imaginations by a bit, and I think perhaps that’s why they, including the media, have welcomed it with the ‘zeal’.
It’s not an easy thing to be able to answer expectations of all our users, but through this game, I recognized again that the significance of continuing to create the series is right there, so in the future I’d like to repeat doing “great fusses*” and provide ‘surprises’ that exceed everyone’s expectations.”
The question is, what surprises would you like to see in the next Zelda?
