Another big adventure for Link and Zelda may be on the horizon.

Earlier this morning, Monolith Soft put out a call on their website recruiting new hires to work on an unannounced Legend of Zelda title. Gematsu reported that the famed Japanese developer is seeking programmers, designers, artists, and other video game specialists for the project.

Monolith Soft is best known for its many acclaimed RPGs, included the Xenosaga series, Baten Kaitos, and more recently, the Xenoblade games. Originally a subsidiary of Namco, Monolith Soft was brought under the Nintendo umbrella in 2007 when Nintendo purchased 80% of the developer’s shares. In early 2012, Namco sold its remaining shares to Nintendo, effectively making Monolith Soft an exclusive Nintendo studio.

The relationship has been strong. In addition to the highly praised Xenoblade games, Monolith Soft has assisted Nintendo with a number of their high-profile first party titles, including recent Legend of Zelda games. Monolith Soft contributed to the development of Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, as well as Breath of the Wild.

Their work on the landmark Switch launch title was said to be primarily for technical features, suggesting that they played a big role in creating Breath of the Wild’s huge in-game world. Between that and the Xenoblade games on their resume, the men and women at Monolith Soft have no shortage of experience putting together enormous environments. Their pedigree leads us to believe that this unannounced Legend of Zelda title will end up being the next entry that’s in development for the Switch platform.

There’s plenty more Zelda content on the way. Later this Spring we’ll see Cadence of Hyrule, a rhythm-based action/adventure game from indie studio Brace Yourself Games (Crypt of the Necrodancer), while a remake of Link’s Awakening is expected to release on the Switch sometime near the end of 2019.
