The Legend Of Zelda Breath of the Wild could get a sequel on Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch fans have been treated to some fantastic games news ahead of the rumoured Direct conference.

The next Legend of Zelda game has been confirmed by Nintendo, who are hiring more staff for the project.

With production ramping up on the potential Breath of the Wild sequel, Nintendo has posted a new Legend of Zelda job advert.

The Japanese job advert (via Gamingbolt), is for a 3D terrain designer on the new game.

A previous advert called for somebody with experience in creating consumer games, which suggests the new release is for consoles.

It's possible the next Zelda game will serve as a sequel to Breath of the Wild, although it's more likely to be a brand new entry.

Zelda director Hidemaro Fujibayashi previously said that concepts and ideas are being gathered for the next Zelda game.
