Nintendo Signals Openness to Monolith Soft Leading a Unique Zelda Game

Daiki Iwamoto’s interview points to a potential leadership shift built on Monolith Soft’s growing contributions to recent Zelda entries.

Overview

  • Iwamoto, Nintendo’s general manager for the Zelda series, said he wants Monolith Soft to take a central production role on a future unique title.
  • Monolith Soft previously provided asset support on Skyward Sword before moving into deeper collaboration on Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
  • During Tears of the Kingdom, the studio was involved from early development as Nintendo teams regularly visited to share and discuss ideas.
  • The remarks were published in an interview on Monolith Soft’s website, with key passages translated and reported by GamesRadar+.
  • Nintendo has not announced a specific project or timeline, and external analysis frames a Monolith-led effort as likely a new entry rather than a direct Breath of the Wild sequel.
