Zelda: Ocarina of Time Producer Doesn’t Want Nintendo’s Next Generation To Rely on BotW’s Ideas

Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series has remained relevant for 40 years, a streak that the Switch 2’s new Ocarina of Time remake is already set to continue. If you’re looking to understand how a game series stays fresh for four decades, part of that answer can be found in the series’ constant reinvention. The Zelda series has a long history of evolving with each new installment, sometimes making radical left turns that upend an established formula. For the series’ producers, that’s very much by design.
