Now that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom has been out for a fair while, all speculation is turning to what’s next for the critically acclaimed series. In a new Game Informer interview, series producer Eiji Aonuma made it fairly clear that whatever form the next game takes, it’s unlikely to be a direct follow-up to Tears of the Kingdom. We heard earlier today that Nintendo currently has no plans to create any form of DLC for Tears of the Kingdom as they did with its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
In that same notion where you did, earlier this year, confirm that there won’t be any DLC for Tears of the Kingdom because you’ve already accomplished everything you want to accomplish with this game – have you ruled out another direct sequel?
EA: [Laughs] 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.
