The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma says that he wanted a Nintendo-made Zelda game to be the first released on the Switch 2 before Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launched. However, the collaboration between his studio and Koei Tecmo has given the team inspiration for the next game in the series.
In an interview with 4gamer, spotted by The Gamer and translated by GamesRadar+, Aonuma jokes that he wishes the team at Nintendo had the honor of launching the first game in the series on Nintendo's newest hardware. "Age of Imprisonment is the first Zelda game to be released on Nintendo Switch 2," Aonuma says. "If I'm being honest, we wanted to launch the 'first' one."
