Currently, he shared that is is still uncertain how the gameplay for future games will look, but if it is appropriate to include her will answer fans’ requests.

“We feel like what takes most priority is this idea of gameplay. If it turns out that the particular gameplay we’re trying to bring to fruition would be best served by having Zelda take that role, then it’s possible that that could be a direction we could take. With that said, of course, because we are not sure what the next gameplay experience is going to be, we can’t say what Zelda’s next step is going to be.”

But it’s not just me being interested in something that makes things happen, unfortunately.” You can read the full report by heading here.
