Take A Look Inside Some Interesting Tidbits From The Hyrule Encyclopedia
The Hyrule Encyclopedia is not due in the West until 24 April 2018 but in Japan, fans have already got their hands on some exclusive tidbits about Hyrule already.
The guys at Source Gaming (@AllSourceGaming) were willing to share some interesting things inside the book, for example, here is an early draft of Princess Zelda

Some interesting info were also uncovered within the book. For example, the developer once had the idea of letting the Sheikah Slate be some sort of a drone.

In fact, early on an Ocarina of Time design Kokiri was meant to be a Champion until Revali took over.
In the early planning stages, the Kokiri tribe (resembling OoT form) would have had a Champion. Eventually the Rito replaced them. Their Champion would have had a whip. Next to him is an early draft of a Gerudo with a hookshot. —@PushDustIn https://t.co/o1A0DEHjfB pic.twitter.com/ZI5wvUA8Ib

Still, I guess what everyone wanted to know is if the next Zelda is already in the works. Answer is an obvious yes.
