The new report comes the way of Nick Baker, a source best-known in Xbox circles with a decent track record. While he is most known for reports pertaining to Xbox, he has had information that has gone beyond Xbox in the past, including Nintendo scoops. On a recent Xbox Era show, he shared a variety of details about the next Zelda game, though no details on when it will be revealed.
More Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
According to Baker, the next Legend of Zelda game is going to use the same engine as its two predecessors, but there will be some “enhancements.” To this end, Baker suggests the new game is very similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Adding to this, Baker claims there is a cross-dimensional element to the game, which really plays into its puzzle-solving. Giving an example, he notes a bull could be chasing you through one dimension, before hitting a target to activate something in another dimension. Continuing with this, Baker says players will use new powers to “jump over” dimensions and rip tears into reality in the pursuit of merging different realms.
Lastly, while Baker doesn’t mention a release date, he notes that he’s under the impression that the Nintendo Switch 2 game is “years away,” which would seemingly rule out a 2026 reveal as well. He does not say this second part, though; that is just speculation.
