I do not see how a Zelda MMO would work. I've never desired a multiplayer experience in a Zelda game. I'd like to see Zelda go down more of a soulsbourne route. They did the open world "Skyrim" thing, and it was fun, but I miss the more story driven, puzzle solving aspects of the franchise. I appreciate the difficulty of BoTW and TotK, but I want a smaller, more dense map focused on legacy dungeons filled with puzzles and unique items to find.

I have a switch and a steam deck. First, even the OLED deck gets a fraction of the battery life, especially running those AAA games. The switch will undoubtedly have better battery life because the OS will be stripped down and the games running on it will be more optimized. Second, only the discontinued LCD models are inexpensive. The OLED starts at $550. The switch 2 will undoubtedly be about $100 less than that. The Deck also doesn't come with a dock. Third, Nintendo first party games are just better than most 3rd party games. They will be enough of a draw to make the system successful. The switch didn't have the hurdles to 3rd party the Wii and Wii u had, so I'm not worried about that either.
