I've probably spent over 3000 hours of my life playing different Zelda games – and that's my conservative estimate. In fact, I even wrote a 10-page essay in my English Literature degree about how the game's sprawling, largely user-generated lore (specifically that pesky multiversa timeline), so it's safe to say our favorite green-cowelled hero occupies a fair chunk of my mind.
However, with nary a tease in sight for the next Legend of Zelda game from Nintendo, I for one, am starting to get impatient. After Breath of the Wild was first announced, it took four years for the game to arrive on the Nintendo Switch, and I'm seriously worried we won't see an expansive new entry to the series for quite some time.
To occupy myself (and distract me from the fact that I could realyl do with some solid titles to play on my Nintendo Switch 2), I'm indulging in two of my favorite activities: deep diving for obscure Zelda trivia and replaying Ocarina of Time for the hundred-and-something-th time.
Below, I've put together some of my favorite facts I've learned over the years, including some rather surprising tidbits I doubt everyone knows. Let me know in the comments below which questions caught you out!
As of right now, there's no official information regarding future Zelda titles, but we do know that the old-school formula is a thing of the past, so there's no telling where Nintendo will come up with next.
At the very least, it's unlikely to be a dungeon editor; Nintendo already tried this in the early development of Echoes of Wisdom before scrapping the idea altogether.
