The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on ollut vuoden 2023 yksi isoista hiteistä. Kyseessä oli suora jatko-osa edelliselle pelille The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Kolmatta saman sarjan peliä ei ole tulossa.
Game Informerille puhunut tuottaja Eiji Aonuma kertoi, että seuraavaksi tulossa on jotain muuta.
"Well that would be a sequel to a sequel, which is getting a little bit wild when you think about it! But as I've mentioned previously, with Tears of the Kingdom, we were seeking to build on top of the world we created with Breath of the Wild and really exhaust the possibilities of what we could put into that world. I think it is - to use a bit of a term - an apotheosis, or the final form of that version of The Legend of Zelda. In that regard, I don't think that we'll be making a direct sequel to a world such as that that we've created."
