Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here?
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it.
Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here though? Can they keep with the same new formula? Should they? Will a more traditional game feel disappointing after this?
I don't really know what I want myself. I think they should try something different though. At the same time, I can't help but think I'd be disappointed if the next game was more similar to something like Twilight Princess. Have they boxed themselves in?

I would like it if their next game would be more traditional 2d style, something akin to Links Awakening. Personally I like both the 2d and 3d style games, so alternating between the two would be great.
For the 3d games I'm not sure for the direction they should take, but I think a blend of the open world style combined with the more traditional dungeons would be great.
I honestly think they will probably do this. People still love some of the traditional style games like they might have made on their handheld systems before, and I'm sure Nintendo knows they will be profitable.
I agree that I hope it's different. I have loved playing so many of the Zelda games up until now, but botw wasn't for me. No problem, I figured, I'll just wait a couple years and the next one will be for me! Now I'm nervous that this is what Zelda is now, and I'm stuck going back to old content and replaying if I ever want Zelda again which is a huge bummer. Part of what I love about Zelda is that each game is different according to the gimmicks of the system. These huge open worlds with so many menus and so much storage are a bit overwhelming to me.
They said the BOTW formula is the template for the series for now on, I’m afraid. And I hated it. I didn’t even buy TOTK. But a 2D Zelda can be in the cards for an off team, this has higher chances than a tradicional 3D Zelda for sure.
Yep, I really hope they continue making 2D style games along side the 3D ones.
