## Key points

- Fujibayashi wants future Zelda games to explore new ideas.
- Developers are encouraged to question whether concepts feel fresh and fun.
- The series’ next direction remains unknown.

## Summary

Hidemaro Fujibayashi says future Zelda games should develop fresh ideas instead of relying on concepts already used in Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time. He sees the series as a place where developers can bring new ideas to life, leaving its next direction open.

Fujibayashi, who directed Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, says he asks younger staff whether their ideas would be fun and discusses whether similar ideas have appeared before. The article notes that the open-world approach may continue, but Fujibayashi’s comments suggest the series could take a different form.
