What lessons can we learn from the last game?
The games Hyrule Warriors are very different from Zelda traditional, with gameplay and a formula closer to Musou than action-adventure games. However, according to the producer of the saga, there are undoubtedly things to be learned from Hyrule Warriors: The Seal Chronicles. In an interview with 4Gamer (translated by VGC), Aonuma declares that the next Zelda could perhaps be inspired by Koei Tecmo’s game :
“ Hyrule Warriors: The Seal Chronicles is the first Zelda [conçu] on Nintendo Switch 2. To be honest, we would have preferred to release the very first one ourselves (laughs). However, perhaps the inspiration we gained from this collaboration with Koei Tecmo will be reflected in our next Zelda. As you play Hyrule Warriors: The Seal Chronicles, we hope you will imagine these possibilities and look forward to our next Zelda. »
Difficult to know what lesson the next game will teach Zelda can draw here, given that Aonuma can also talk about technique (on how to use the Switch 2), narration, or even gameplay, even if we obviously shouldn’t expect the next Zelda to veer into all-out action. Answer in a few years.
