Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been available to play on Nintendo Switch for almost 2 months now. Since then, The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has discussed more topics related to the game and the series as a whole in interviews. Not surprisingly, one of the topics was about traditional, classic Zelda gameplay. Aonuma has already commented on the matter, but in an interview with RTL Nieuws translated by Nintendo Everything, he elaborated a bit more on the matter.
Aonuma said that “it is difficult to say anything about the future. That said: thanks to the previous Zelda games, a game like Tears of the Kingdom now exists. This game came from ideas we had in the past. We always try to create something that offers more than previous titles. In that sense, we really don’t deal with our older games anymore. We prefer to look to the future”.
