Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

Why is Nintendo moving forward with a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? It all comes down to having too many new ideas.

In an interview with Kotaku, Zelda producer Aonuma shared the following:

Last week, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser discussed crunch and how the company wants its staff to have a “good work-life balance”. Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has now chimed in on the subject as well.

When asked about his team’s stance on overtime, Aonuma stated that the “staff comes first, and I always want to think about it when creating a game.” His full words:
