Breath Of The Wild’s Director Has ‘Lots Of Ideas’ For Future Zelda Content

Now that the second DLC of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been released, we’re sure many are wondering about the future of the franchise. Is Nintendo working on a new Zelda title? Or could there be more DLCs in the works? It doesn’t seem like it is clear, but the good news is that Nintendo still has plenty of ideas.

Speaking to IGN, Breath of the Wild’s director Hidemaro Fujibayashi stated that at the moment, it is unclear if the future will contain sequels or just a continuation of Breath of the Wild. He was quoted as saying, “I can’t say at this point if it will be in sequels or in continuations, or what form it will take, but I definitely have lots of ideas and lots of motivation right now.”

He also spoke about how Nintendo had approached Zelda differently this time around, where they added DLCs to expand on the world and the content, versus having to start from scratch again. “In the past, we always had to start from zero again, to completion. Usually we’d be thinking, ‘oh, I wish we could add this, we could do that.’ What we couldn’t do in that game, we would start fresh in a new game. But because we did a DLC, we realized it’s a great way to kind of just improve that world, and kind of enhance it, and kind of raise it like your own child.”

So far The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been one of 2017’s most popular games, where it has received near-perfect review scores, so if you haven’t check it out yet perhaps now might be a good time to do so.
