Summary
The nextLegend of Zeldagame will supposedly be revealed soon, perhaps at tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct livestream. TheLegend of Zeldaseries is as popular as it has ever been thanks to the blockbuster success ofTears of the Kingdom, which launched on the Nintendo Switch last summer to critical acclaim and record-breaking sales. Additionally, a live-actionLegend of Zeldamovie is currently in the works at Sony following the success of last year’sThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, withKingdom of the Planet of the Apesdirector Wes Ball at the helm.
Meanwhile, there is already plenty of speculation about the next mainlineLegend of Zeldagame, with rumors claiming that it is already being developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch follow-up console.Zeldaseries producer Eiji Aonumahas also spoken about the next entry in the iconic series, saying that it likely won’t be a direct sequel toTears of the Kingdomlike many have initially believed, andTears of the Kingdomdirector Hidemaro Fujibayashi noted that the item-crafting Ultrahand ability that was introduced in the last game might not be returning either.
There are still many unanswered questions about the often-speculated-on nextLegend of Zeldagame, but the mystery might be resolved soon. An insider by the handle of Midori recently claimed thatNintendo will announce a newZeldaprojectin the near future, one that is currently codenamed “Edward.” No other details were provided in the chain message shared by Twitter user Mehdi, and this project could either be a remake of a past entry or a brand-new 2DZeldagame.
New Zelda Game Could Be Revealed At Nintendo Direct
The recent rumors also didn’t give an exact date for when thisZeldaproject will be revealed, but the most likely candidate is the upcoming Nintendo Direct livestream that is set to take place on Tuesday, June 18. In fact, Midori predicted this date and stated that it would showcase and confirm other speculated projects like thesupposedFinal Fantasy 9remakewith which longtimeFinal Fantasyproducer Naoki Yoshida recently denied involvement.
One new reveal that fans shouldn’t expect at this month’s Nintendo Direct livestream is the aforementionedNintendo Switch successor console, as Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed that it won’t be featured at the showcase back in May. Likewise, these rumors of a newLegend of Zeldagame being unveiled soon should also be taken with a big grain of salt for the time being, especially given that the source, Midori, has recently been ousted as a fraud. While they portrayed themselves as a young Japanese woman with eyes on the inside, Midori turned out to be a man who fortuitously acquired an early presentation from SEGA, allowing them to leak a few projects accurately. His predictions have since tanked in their reliability.
