VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
Dark Horse has revealed that, in collaboration with Nintendo, it will release The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Secrets of the Zonai hardcover art book and pre-orders are open.
I am loving BotW for my switch 2 with the improved framerate and resolution! To me it seems like TotK is kinda psychedelic the way everything is so ridiculous. Is there any usage of the triforce in TotK? Ya know, to kinda ground things in the roots of Zelda lore instead of being all over the place. They say that having the 4 Heroic ghosts float around all the time whenever those super powers are active make things crowded, like they cramp Link's style. Plus Link is basically 30 years old now and still a scrawny PoS. He was buffer in OoT as a teenager. Like seriously 21st century Link, lay off the soy boy.
That whole "soy" thing is complete BS based off of things like a 1940s research paper on sheep, and a couple of one-off "correlation doesn't equal causation" typed reports on men already later on in years (aka naturally lower testosterone). I'm surprised to see it still kicking around.
Soy is loaded with goitrogens PLUS phytoestrogens which can mimic the properties of estrogen in the human body the same way plastics can mimic estrogen in the human body. Goitrogens inhibit thyroid functionality and one of the main jobs of the thyroid is to regulate hormones. Ergo, massive goitrogens combined with massive phytoestrogens = man doom. You go ahead and slather some good ol' soy over your BPA plastic food trays, worst of all black-colored plastic, and watch how you move towards 100% sterility like many soyboys are predicted to arrive at by 2050. You think it's mere coincidence Japan has one of the worst sex lives of any nation on Earth and men there go overboard with the soy and their microwaved styrofoam ramen daily? Gotta watch out for the toxicity, and listen to the SoaD song Toxicity more

ScribbleCat said: As a big fan of Breath of the Wild, my anticipation for Tears of the Kingdom was off the charts. I don’t think I ever was that hyped about a game since Cyberpunk 2077, which should have taught me a thing or two. Nevertheless, I bought the game digitally on release and played a fair bit. And while the beginning was good, I soon felt overwhelmed and bored at the same time. I was actively yearning for the calmness of Breath of the Wild. But why?
I initially thought TotK was an objective improvement but in hindsight they're both good for different reasons, both with relative pros and cons. Overall I'd probaly agree BotW is the better more focused experience, though i've clocked more hours in TotK
Sad to say, I have not played Tears of the Kingdom as yet, but I did love Breath of the Wild. Before Breath of the Wild, I was getting tired of Zelda games following the same formula from start to finish. They even had you unlocking the same weapons every game.
Breath of the Wild was like a breath of fresh air, no pun intended, and changed up the formula drastically, much like what Ocarina of Time did for the series back in the day.
I did not read the entire article out of fear of spoilers, but I do not expect Tears of the Kingdom to be much different from Breath of the Wild. I intentionally left a huge gap between playing the two games so Tears of the Kingdom will feel more fresh when I eventually get around to it.
