Nintendo is Hiring a Level Designer for a Legend of Zelda Game

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild still feels fresh, but Nintendo has already moved on to the next game. Twitter user @bk2128 has discovered a Japanese job listing on the Nintendo website asking for a "Legend of Zelda Level Designer."

@bk2128 Gives an English summary of the listing, as well as a link to the original post:

Nintendo is hiring a level designer for The Legend of Zelda series. Will create events/dungeons/fields/enemies from design to actual implementation. Should have game planner experience on console games & can communicate in Japanese.

Breath of the Wild came out a little over a year ago, so the odds of another Zelda game for the Nintendo Switch seem pretty low. This may be the development of a 3DS title, or perhaps even a mobile Zelda game. Nintendo has expressed a desire to expand their mobile game market previously, after all.

If the game company intends to say anything soon, it'll most likely take place during this year's E3 conference. Though they have a history of disregarding the event for important announcements in favor for a digital direct around the same approximate time.

Regardless of what they plan to announce, this is fairly concrete evidence that they are, in fact, working on a new Zelda game of some form. It's only a matter of time before we know more.
