In 2024, we at Zelda Creators introduced our first ever Build-A-Game event! A variety of creative types (artists, writers, musicians, voice actors, etc.) were grouped together to each make their own idea for a new Zelda game. Each team had the opportunity to work in a section of Zelda's complex timeline (or separate from it) and decide how their game idea would fit into that section. Click on each button below to view the entire work from each team!
NOTE: All projects shown below are hypothetical ideas for future Zelda games. These ideas are not to actually be put into production. All creations in the following pages are property of the creators listed at the bottom of each page. "The Legend of Zelda" title is the property of Nintendo.
