Fujibayashi: it is definitely a story after Breath of the Wild and basically, The Legend of Zelda series is designed to have a story and a world that doesn't break down.

If I'm speaking only in terms of possibilities, there is a possibility that the story of the founding of Hyrule may have a history of destruction and before the founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule. I don't make things in a random way, like, "Wouldn't it be interesting if we did (random plot beat) here?" So I hope you will enjoy it by imagining the parts of the story and have not yet been told :) |
