Nintendo doesn't expect Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity to precede a standalone Hyrule Warriors series.
Talking to IGN, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma didn't deny the possibility, but did confirm that a Hyrule Warriors series isn't in the plans for Nintendo at the moment. "I do think circumstances could align like this again," Aonuma acknowledged, "but I don't think we're expecting this to become a series. We'd make that decision based on its creative merits, just like we did this time."
It's a reasonable position to take - if an idea strong enough to warrant another Hyrule Warriors-esque Zelda game pops up at Nintendo, it sounds like they'd consider picking it up for development. Of course, it also has to be a game Nintendo thinks its fans would want to play. "I think it depends on whether we get an idea that'll make all the fans happy!", added Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity producer Yosuke Hayashi.
