Nintendo may be working on a brand new Legend of Zelda game featuring Zelda as the main character, based on a new rumor.
According to a hint dropped by Twitter/X user GenosPapa, a new Legend of Zelda game starring Zelda as the protagonist may be in development at Nintendo. They conveyed this information via a hidden message in their post.
The Twitter/X user’s tweet read, “Tears of the kingdom Had a great zelda design I think we are Severely overdue for a game where zelda Is the main character. Seems to me A Hyrule adventure like that Is something fans want, Nows The time.” Certain alphabets in this passage are deliberately written in capital, and putting them together reveals the message, “THIS IS A HINT”.
While it’s always difficult to determine the validity of a rumor, it’s worth mentioning that the same individual had previously leaked details regarding the Metroid Prime Remaster prior to its official announcement. Regardless, as always, we encourage our readers to take all such rumors and speculation with a grain of salt until there is confirmation via official channels.
The Legend of Zelda fans had the chance to play as Zelda in Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s hack-and-slash game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. They have since been waiting for a game featuring her as the main character. There was hope that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would feature her as a playable character in some capacity, but, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. The possibility of a future DLC was also turned down by producer Eiji Aonuma. A game dedicated to Zelda would certainly be a dream come true for fans of the series, and we’re sure that Nintendo is aware of this. If the rumor is true, the game will likely be a Nintendo Switch 2 title.
