IGN - Zelda: Breath of the Wild director has "lots of ideas and motivation" for the future of Zelda

The following comes from an IGN interview with director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and producer Eiji Aonuma...

Hidemaro Fujibayashi: “I can't say at this point if it will be in sequels or in continuations, or what form it will take, but I definitely have lots of ideas and lots of motivation right now. I think while we were working on both the main game and the DLC, it was a process of constantly getting lots of different, new ideas as we refined the game, and finding new things we wanted to do. Even in situations like this, talking to people and finding out that people want to pet dogs gives me a lot of motivation, a lot of ideas for things we could put into the game.”

Eiji Aonuma: “What we learned from the DLC this time around is that it's almost like raising the world or enhancing the world. In the past, we always had to start from zero again, to completion. Usually we'd be thinking, ‘oh, I wish we could add this, we could do that.’ What we couldn't do in that game, we would start fresh in a new game. But because we did a DLC, we realized it's a great way to kind of just improve that world, and kind of enhance it, and kind of raise it like your own child.”

With the next Zelda game already underway, you can bet some of the ideas Fujibayashi mentions are being worked on right now. It'll probably be years before we get to play the game, but it's still exciting, nonetheless!
