Predicting The Next Zelda Game Release 

Personally I really want a new 2D Zelda, ideally this year.

The Oracle games are fantastic. A lot of people didnt even know they existed until they got added to the online service. Also a lot of people are thrown off by the outdated graphics and gameplay. If they remake them, it would techincally be a new experience/new game for most people buying them.

My three biggest wants: - New 2D Zelda - Ww on Switch - Tp on Switch

Can't believe I'm saying this but I wish Nintendo would take a page out of the Call of Duty playbook for Zelda. Have three separate teams leapfrogging each other so that new content is released on a more regular basis. One for open air Zelda (the main team that already exists), one for 2D Zelda, and one for new 3D games with the old formula.

I really hope ST & PH gets an eventual remaster

If an Ocarina of Time full on remake for the switch 2 was a launch title I would buy the switch 2 in a heartbeat.

I hope they do an OoT remake with a teaser trailer nodding to the 2000 Space world tech demo. People would lose their shit.

Dude you were spot on

I really like ur Zelda content keep it up

HE’S BACK EVERYONE 😁 Also I can’t wait for your next installment in the review series, I’ve loved all of them so far, I highly look forward to all the ones to come 🔥🔥🔥

2D ZELDA!!!! Good to see you Essay.

If I had to guess, I would suspect either WW or TP this fall as the "big video release before the holidays". Yes, waiting to release it (or them) on Switch 2 would help sell consoles, but the 140M current Switches on the market would make the game(s) sell like hot cake.

I hope for a new 2D Zelda instead of another remake of an old 2D Zelda. I think the DS Zeldas deserve a remake the most though. I like Phantom Hourglass but the graphics are really awful to look at.

WAKE UP GAME ESSAYS IS BACK 🙌🙌🙌

If we get a new 3d game I really hope it's not a sequel to botw/totk. I want a new art style, new overworld, new mechanics, etc

A Link Between Worlds is such an unsung hero of the Zelda franchise. It's one of my favourite Zelda experiences, but because of my visual disability, it's just too challenging for me to play on the small screen, so I would love nothing more than for it to be ported to the Switch! I haven't been able to replay it for nearly ten years! I'm one of those suckers who bought a WiiU when the Switch came out, just so I could play the huge catalogue of Zelda games 😅

Nice video!

I’ve been pushing for a link to the past but 3D 3rd person and complete overhaul of the original game. I think that would be huge but I’m not sure if others would want that game to have that much of a change

Personally I never shared the same desire what with how much people seem to want to play any of these older games, again just shinier, over getting new games. I don't want remakes, remasters or rereleases. I just want new content. Any extra teams that can be allocated to Zelda game development I really just want focusing on giving us new games. In a perfect world the same resources put together for remakes, a lot of people clamor for, could instead be used to more frequently give us new games, appeasing all fans. 2D, Classic 3D and Open world 3D teams. As for older titles, I'd rather they just get rereleased on NSO for the accessibility issue that may come up for players and call it there. This isn't directed at you btw Essays, just venting lol

I think we can get BOTW and TOTK for the switch 2 with new content. But for TOTK we could either get dlc for switch 1 or a deluxe version on the switch 2 that was cut from the switch 1

I think they should honestly finally do the third Oracle game with Farore. I think it was rumoured to be "Oracle of Secrets". Obviously they may have to modify it. But I think a new 2D Zelda is my personal want. I know a 3D Zelda is a few years away. I want a top down Zelda. We haven't had a brand new top down since Tri Force Heroes, and while I like it more than most, I think it was limited.

Very unique tier list. Shocked you didn’t think of the possibility of another Hyrule Warriors game. Loved the music. Zelda & Chill is always a favorite of mine.

Capcom being involved in Oracle of ages and seasons as well as minish Cap. Basically makes those games unlikely

The only thing I want more than windwaker and twilight princess ports is a remake of ocarina of time.

i love your content

A highly upgraded remake of the OG zelda (same style and map, but maybe larger and possibly new content) in high def would be amazing ^^ i believe botw would be too early by far. it feels like it just came out :D

I would like a 2d Zelda even if it was a remake. I haven't made it very far in the Oracle of seasons or ages but I beat links Awakening on switch and I absolutely loved it. Now they did a release of Link Between Worlds that would be cool

they could add an accessory so you could play ds game ports on the switch while it's sideways. The switch 2 will use "4k" in the same way a pc would use DLSS at "4k" using 1080p as a base. With 1080p as a base resolution it will look alright on a 4k screen, when it is in handheld mode it will likely use it's 1080p screen running it at 1080p and run it with upscaling to 1080p at the developers discretion. Moore's law is dead has Nvidia contacts that have told him what's what as far as what they know, he says it will be around a series s but with a weaker CPU. Apparently it will be using less or about the same power in handheld mode than the switch but offer significantly better performance. One more thing, I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to use the new recompile project on Git Hub to port N64 games rapidly to switch, the developers using it say it only takes about 15 hours of coding to get a game working pretty much perfectly and after that you can modify it like a pc game and upgrade assets. A big company like them could probably churn out multiple "Remakes" in short order that look great and handle the same.

PH + TP could probably do well if they reworked the controls to be a bit more normal and turned the megamap into a minimap

The Switch 2 will definitely launch with a remastered 3d Zelda title. Breath of the wild and twilight princess gave the switch and wii a strong start and their biggest console failure ever, the wii u, was the only console in recent years which didn't launch with a Zelda title or at least have a trailer for one. They won't make that mistake again and although we're still a fair few years away from another original 3d Zelda title, a remaster of an older one is the next best thing.

It would be interesting if we got a port of the original Zelda and Oracle games in an art style of Link's Awakening and Zelda II in an art style of Link's Awakening overworld and Smash Melee for side scrolling areas.

for me the most ideal and in my opinion most likely is that they release the switch 2 and do a remaster/upscaled 4k version of twilight princess

I really would love to see the 3DS versions of OoT and MM ported over to the Switch. Also, if the Oracle games would get LA remake treatment it would not only make a lot of sense, but it would benefit Nintendo's game library greatly.

Imagine if you will. It's the big direct announcing the early Switch 2 titles. [Ocarina of time opening theme begins to play. Fade in staggered 2-3 second clips from the game, remastered in HD] Return to the Hyrule you know and love [The clips are now from Majora's Mask. Clock Town theme begins to play] And to lands beyond. With the Hero of Time [Music fades out, fade to black except for the words "Hero of Time"] *TRILOGY* Big triforce behind the words. Cue horn section playing the main series theme. Internet loses their collective shit. I have no idea if the writers have any interest in 'returning to the well' so to speak, but if it was halfway decent it would print money.

What game are you reviewing next? Might I recommend Spirit Tracks?

full-on remakes of the N64 games would be nice, but I’d want them to be extensive, ground-up remakes like the _Final Fantasy VII_ remakes, just without changing the story. that said, I’m actually happy with the versions available on NSO and Wuu Virtual Console, so I’d hope they’d prioritize the games that aren’t currently available on Switch in any form. …or 2D remakes, like _A Link to the Past,_ the _Oracle Games,_ and _Minish Cap…_ but just HD pixel art would be fine, I don’t need them to get the _Link’s Awakening_ treatment. …and lastly, remember that version of the original game they made in-house for testing our concepts for _Breath of the Wild_ ? why not remake the original _The Legend of Zelda_ in a style like that? it would still just use very simplistic visuals, but what an elaborate physics system like the modern games… so open-air, but in 2D 👌

Lbw is the best game I hope it comes to a main console for more people to see it

Zelda 2 deserves it more than any other game on that list. It deserves to have the "black sheep" moniker removed from it by introducing a proper remake that fixes the quirks and issues of the original.

It kills me that zelda fans want windwaker and twilight princess AGAIN when oracle and seasons would be awesome, even minish cap, very good games

we need a phantom hourglass/spirit tracks remake or a zelda 1/2 remake

i'm fairly sure we're getting an enhanced version of BOTW for the "switch 2" but i dunno if thats similar to the likes of spiderman for the ps5 where it was just graphics etc touched up rather than port/remake etc.

They straight up said "We've done everything we wanted with the TotK / BotW world, there will not be a dlc for TotK. We will instead put our efforts into the next big zelda adventure." And I believe them, the world feels pretty done and solid. Personally, I would LOVE a remake of OoT or MM, but more likely the next releases are ports of TP and WW tbh.

great video, all the opinions were reasonable

I’ve missed you friend

You are already immediately lost me at a Zelda 1 or 2 remake not likely because the original versions already being on Switch. Okay! Did either the Link's Awakening Remake on Switch or Link's Awakening DX on Switch NSO just simply, I don't know, NOT happen? Or were one of those two really just a fever dream? Because I honestly thought there were TWO versions of Link's Awakening on Nintendo Switch! I guess was just hallucinating when I thought I saw Link's Awakening DX for NSO. Because I literally have Link's Awakening remake. I've played it! I've beaten it! And it's all over the internet! It exists. So I guess, Link's Awakening DX on NSO obviously has to be the one that didn't happen then...by your logic. And what about Twilight Princess HD on Wii U? Was that not real either because you can already play the original on Wii U? I guess, since you're the genius here, I guess so. What about the Wii U e-shop releases of Wii games like SS and Metroid Prime Trilogy? I guess those didn't happen. We also have multiple versions of the first few Super Mario Bros. games. First, individually on NES NSO. Secondly, bundled in Super Mario All Stars on SNES NSO. And there's Super Mario Advanced games. Which one actually happened? I'm assuming the NES ones right? Or maybe I'm just misremembering All Stars being a collection Super Mario Advanced being remixes of the old games, but actually a SNES version of the real SMB 2 as Lost Levels.and four completely original games. So I guess we only have SMB 1, 2 (the doki doki panic clone one), and 3 on NES NSO. Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Lost Levels on SNES NSO. And four completing new original Mario games on GBA NSO. Or the Super Mario Advanced series didn't actually come to NSO. And neither did All Stars. Needless to say, stating that a remake of a game is unlikely solely because it's original is already on the system is a dumb take. Especially, when said original has already been there for years. It's not like how they just came out with Oracle games on NSO. I get that it's too early for Oracle game remakes since they just released the original games on the system. That makes sense. But Zelda 1 and 2 have been on the system (only available through NSO, which requires internet to use) since 2018! That's SIX years! Why would it be so unrealistic to have a more widely accessible option to play one of those games on the same system? Especially if the new version is provides a whole new experience differing from the original. The Link's Awakening remake doesn't play exactly like DX. It also has new stuff that aren't in the older versions like the Chamber Dungeon. Also, did I mention that NSO requires internet? What if someone's internet is down temporarily or their playing their Switch on the go in the car, but there's no Wi-Fi or hotspot? Then Zelda 1 and 2 wouldn't be available to them because NSO requires internet. I mean, it's literally in the name! Having remake of Zelda 1 would solve that problem. Also, the Switch life-span is coming to an end. That said, by the time a Zelda 1 remake releases, we'll already be close to when the new system launches or even has already launched anyways. It would be a whole new generation of the Switch era at least or even a whole new era overall. So even if NSO is still a thing carried over to the new system, it'd still be good time to release a Zelda 1 remake. I mean we literally not only have had the first Metroid game on GBA through the NES Classics Series, but we also have had the same game playable through the remake of the same game on the same system. And both of these were available on 3DS (I think) and Wii U (definitely). And finally, have you seen Lloyd Empty's take on a Zelda 1 remake? The experience of the game is so much than the original game! It's almost like a whole new game! And it did does remain faithful to the original in design, but with some new stuff to make the game feel more bigger and expansive like how a modern 2D Zelda game would be. Zelda 1 remake is actually be way more likely than you think because it'd be different in terms of experience from the original as it wouldn't be exactly like the original. Again, the Link's Awakening remake from 2019 is a pretty good example. While games like Zero Mission and Samus Returns are even better examples as they both provided fresh new experiences within the same game worlds of the originals they're based on. A Link Between Worlds can also be seen as an alright example too, even though that was actually a sequel, not a remake. And that's why a lot of people felt turned off by it was because it was basically like a remake trying to be a sequel and even marketed as one. It was still a good game in it's own right. But had to stayed a remake like it was planned to be prior, it might've been more successful. However, I'm more of the opinion that maybe that game should've been more original. But I do believe that Zelda 1 remake is a good idea. Especially seeing as how it can really help truly revive 2D Zelda as a whole by proving to both fans and even Nintendo that there is still so much more potential for 2D Zelda.

Legend of Zelda echoes of wisdom is out answwr

Before the direct :People begging for the HD remasters of TP and WW on Switch After direct : the same people complaining that Nintendo is selling old games at 60 bucks .

so

I would be super happy to have the 3DS versions of OOT and MM ported to the Switch. That would be good enough for me

triforce heroes is probably the WORST nintendo developed zelda game. its actually bad and i don't know why they would even humor the idea of releasing it. it is not at all worth their time
