Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Last Zelda Game?

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom advances the story of Breath of the Wild, and while it was speculated the game may be the last in the current timeline, it doesn’t necessarily spell the end of the entire franchise. The Zelda series’ progression is based on the continuity established in Skyward Sword, in which Demise curses future generations (specifically those who fill Link and Zelda’s archetypal roles) to face his evil. The Link and Zelda of TOTK are believed to be, chronologically, the youngest generation in the series, as both BOTW and TOTK seemingly take place long after previous games. Even so, their connection to the past and their placement in the series’ timeline point toward a possible end to Link, Zelda, and Demise’s intergenerational conflict.
