Nintendo doesn’t always do direct sequels with the Zelda series, but Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the few in the series, directly following 2017’s Game of the Year winner, Breath of the Wild. With the success of both the games, and the arrival of the Switch 2 soon, Nintendo has the opportunity to do something extraordinarily rare in the franchise and make a Wilds trilogy. These versions of both Link and Zelda are very popular, after all, and seeing more of them could be a great way to capitalize on their recent success.
