A New The Legend of Zelda Title in Development?
The Legend of Zelda queries keep leaving architect giggling.

It seems that Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda titles, is genuinely dropping hints about something that fans could be expecting shortly. He has been alluding to an impending project for some time now, and he has admitted to his supporters that he has certainly teased at it via his words. His previous actions make it obvious that this is not an isolated incident.
It was after a 2018 Zelda Orchestra performance that he made an intriguing surprise entrance. “I know what you were thinking,” Aonuma purportedly said. “Skyward Sword for Switch, right?” And then he strolled off the stage, leaving everyone scratching their heads. It would, of course, come to pass.
What gives Aonuma the green light to do this with The Legend of Zelda games is anybody's guess. One may assume that this is just applicable to the likes of remakes or remasters, which is wrong. Discussing the possibility of a Zelda game in the future, Aonuma said in an interview from the year 2023, that although the series' name is intriguing—The Legend of Zelda—Link is somehow always the protagonist.
Continuing, he states, “Link has been the main character, and Zelda has always been involved, and they had had relationships and their own rules in each of the games. But it is true that I think there's room for thinking about this type of thing in Zelda's role. And there may be some sort of possibility for something like that in the future.” With an English interjection of "Maybe, maybe, maybe," Aonuma—who was communicating via a translator—then concluded.
What Aonuma is doing right now, telling us what's coming, is sort of mad. His clues are so obvious now that they hardly register.
We have undoubtedly heard of these things in the past, and Aonuma really suggests two potential The Legend of Zelda games here. "When I first heard that he would be named Raul, I thought it was a very natural progression, but I wonder how many people who are currently playing Tears of the Kingdom actually know the character, Raul," Aonuma says in a recent interview.
Now, because this is an English translation, it is apparent that Rauru is being referred to here; what is peculiar is that—and pay attention to the end—he is essentially expressing his curiosity regarding the level of awareness around Rauru before letting out a chuckle.
Rauru was a real village in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and then the name also served as the owl's and, naturally, a wise sage that protected Link in Ocarina of Time. Rauru plays a pivotal role in the games and, more importantly, in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, when the name of the first King of Hyrule is revealed—which is quite fantastic. Just remember to make a mental note of that chuckle of his.
We shift gears to a different interview that took place with Game Informer, in which the interviewer really says, “I've heard about how sometimes questions about games can inspire them to be made. So I selfishly want to ask you about a modern Ocarina of Time remake, but I have a feeling I know the answer I'll get.” Aonuma, as expected, chuckles and responds with a "no comment."
As a last interview, this one is about Majora's Mask and comes straight from IGN. When queried if players may expect a remake of the game soon, Aonuma chuckled, leaving his response open to many interpretations. Getting a kick out of this whole ordeal, “Please write that I laughed,” he advised the interviewer, continuing to giggle.
A complete remake of Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, two timeless classics that have stood the test of time, would delight players, including myself. Like Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, I truly hope they don't limit themselves to simply releasing the 3DS versions. It would mean a lot to everyone if these were the authentic, rebuilt versions.
I believe there is a good reason for this to be occurring, since, you know, Ocarina of Time is coming out with this incredible Deku Tree Lego set. Furthermore, a Zelda film is in the works. It seems like the perfect moment for something like this, at least to me.
However, as is customary, all we can do is wait for The Legend of Zelda's future developments. Now that Switch is drawing to a close, it would be reasonable to assume that whatever the game is, it will be released on the next console.
