The Legend of Zelda Next Game Reveal Leaks Online, Major Shake-Up Coming
GAMINGbible • • technology
Key Points:
- The Legend of Zelda series is set to return in 2026, coinciding with its 40th anniversary, with rumors pointing to a full remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- Leaked details suggest the remake will be developed in collaboration with Monolith Studios and divided into two separate games, one focusing on Young Link and the other on Adult Link, similar to the multi-part approach of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
- This split approach raises concerns among fans, as it may remove the original game's core gameplay mechanic of switching between Young and Adult Link, potentially resulting in a more linear RPG experience.
- The Young Link game is rumored to launch later this year, with the Adult Link game possibly releasing in 2027, and an official announcement is expected during a Nintendo Direct in June.
- In addition to the remake, a live-action Legend of Zelda film by Sony Pictures, also adapting Ocarina of Time's story, is slated for release next year, generating excitement among fans.
