With The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom selling millions of copies and raking in awards, questions have been raised about what’s next for the Zelda series, and whether or not the future may include blasts from the past. Franchise head Eiji Aonuma is here to pump the brakes, as he says the traditional linear Zelda adventures of old won’t be coming back any time soon.

Speaking with IGN, Aonuma expresses his belief that those views come from a “grass is greener” mentality–where people have a tendency to want the things they don’t currently have. He continues by stating that the current Zelda format does have a “set” path; however, that path is chosen by the player rather than the designers.
