It's no surprise that The Legend Of Zelda franchise has been incredibly successful, but there are those of us who still long for the days of the old-school games. Nintendo has made it clear that they aren't going back to the old formula, and that's understandable. But what if there was a way to keep both the new and the old alive?
Reader Onibee has a suggestion for how Nintendo could do just that. They should work with Capcom to create smaller, more retro-style Zelda games. Capcom has already made four really great Zelda games - Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Four Swords, and The Minish Cap - and they could easily make more. The games could be linked together, like the Oracle games, and could be released every few years. This would be a great way to fill out the release schedule for the Switch 2, and would be a more affordable option for those of us who prefer the old style games.
Nintendo has a great relationship with Capcom, and this could be an excellent opportunity to renew their partnership. In the GameCube era, Nintendo turned to third parties a lot, so this kind of collaboration isn't unprecedented. The key to making this work is to ask Capcom to make purposefully retro, smaller projects, rather than trying to push the franchise forward with big new entries.
It's impossible to predict what Nintendo will do, but this could be a great way to revive some of their older franchises. With the right strategy in place, Nintendo and Capcom could work together to create modern games that still keep the spirit of the classic Zelda titles alive.
