The Legend of Zelda has had an oddly quiet run on the Switch 2 so far. This is especially surprising since the franchise hit its 40th anniversary milestone earlier this year. Now, fans are expressing their concerns regarding a possible release window for a new Zelda game on Switch 2, and it's not looking pretty.
Over on Reddit, one user posited the question: "Do you think Nintendo will release a Zelda game midway Switch 2 cycle or close to the end?" It's a valid question, especially considering how pervasive Zelda games were on the Switch 1, even if the only new mainline games that released were Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Of course, one new Zelda game has already arrived on Switch 2. Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment had good reviews, but it wasn't a true mainline Zelda game. So far, that's all we've gotten in the Switch 2's (admittedly short) lifespan. "My fear is that they will release a game like 5 years later as Tears was more recently," reads the original Reddit post. "Meaning that's closer to the Switch 2 end cycle than midway."
A few comments were quick to point out...
