What would YOU like to see in the next Zelda game. (lemmy.world)

Personally I am loving the format of the current switch games, and Nintendo has signaled that they intend to keep making games in this style though not necessarily a sequel.

I would love first and foremost for the story telling to be brought back to the standards of Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.

Also, to me the best thing in the 3D games has always been the pacing, you have your first initial quest, that leads to Link powering up in a few different ways. Then Link is set on a second quest, becoming more powerful again. Then a twist of some sort, though that's optional. Then finally the climactic battle with the big bad. I would also like to see more of an after story, though it is traditional for that to not be a thing at this point.

As for settings, I would LOVE to see a game set after spirit tracks in New Hyrule in the midst of an industrial revolution, mixed with magic.

How about you, what are your wishlist items for the next/future Zelda games?

This might be controversial but I'd like to change up the aesthetic in the next game. Don't get me wrong, the Ghibli style in BOTW/TOTK has its charm and fits the game and world it was chosen for, but I'd kill to get Twilight Princess's artstyle and character design back.

Everything just had an ornate but grounded vibe that felt more tied to reality. Clothing had stiches and imprinted emblems and texture. Leathers felt thick and sturdy. Link had visible straps attaching his bracers to his forearms and his sheath to his back. And for the first time ever: chainmail.

Shame it was ever only utilized for one game. (Okay, sure, "Link's Crossbow Training," too, but c'mon...)
