The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is probably the most awaited game on the Nintendo Switch right now. The Breath of the Wild sequel recently won the Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards, but fans may also be excited about the game for other reasons if the new rumors are true.
Two British journalists have shared a new rumor that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may be the last big game for the current generation of the Nintendo Switch. Andy Robinson and Christopher Dring shared the new information on Twitter with Robinson saying that the upcoming Zelda sequel will be the last big game before the new hardware is announced.
From what I'm hearing I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo starts talking about new hardware by 2024," Robinson tweeted. "I'm not convinced another huge first-party game other than Zelda is left on Switch (usual Nintendo prediction caveats apply…)."
The first-generation Switch is already more than five years old at this point. The handheld console debuted in 2017 with Breath of the Wild being a launch title. Since then, Nintendo has released the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED, but the underlying hardware is essentially the same.
