The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 at The Game Awards 2020, is it likely to happen?

Yeah, in the same year. That's why I said that if they had shown this year already, it would be more likely. I think, because of the time we've been without updates about the game, the next time they show us it will be on their own event. The game is a big deal and I believe they want to give the game the spotlight in a Direct the first time it's shown for real.
Maybe, although...
I've also been thinking this is a possibility for a while now. That would explain the radio silence.
Maybe they announce DLC for Age of Calamity instead.

We need a poll, OP!
I'm really split on it. I'm not expecting it, since it'd probably make more sense for a late-winter/early Spring re-reveal, but I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up, either!
I suppose we won't need to suffer long.

Unlikely. BotW 2 is one of Nintendo's biggest and most important games, and they're more than likely going to want to blow the lid off of it on their own terms.
Not ruling it out completely, just saying...don't bet a ton of money on it being there.

I highly doubt that we will see BotW2 at TGAs. This seems to be too big for this show. In the last years, Nintendo always announced small or mid-tier games at that event (MUA3, BD2 etc.), so I dont see presenting them one of the biggest and most wanted games overall there for the first time (if you exclude this small teaser from E3 2019).
I don't have my hopes up because I'm going to go full black out, the only thing that matters to me now is the release date. But I actually do think it has a high chance of happening mostly because this winters big Nintendo title is Hyrule Warriors and I assume they'll want to feed its hype machine.
I want it to be a montage of weapons breaking and shrine missions followed by a 2 minute video of Doug Bowser saying "AHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH".

They're better off saving their load for E3 next year and have an insane lineup there. They do not need to sell anything at the GA.

My heart already stopped for a moment when glancing at the thread title, thought it would be a leak or something for a second lol. So incredibly thirsty for new info and material.
Regarding if it is likely to happen: I really don't know, Nintendo has become too unpredictable for stuff like this, but definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

Sometimes I forget this game exists and then I'm reminded again that it's been 1.5 years since its announcement. *Sigh* someday the game will be shown, someday...
and then finally my avatar can be changed!
I don't think we'll see it. Nintendo's thing these days is usually not to start the marketing cycle until like 3 or 4 months from release and that doesn't tie in with when BOTW2 is probably coming out.
I'd say we'll see it again at E3 (if Nintendo's there, at around that time if they're not) and then the marketing will lead into a November release.

Negative chances this is happening.
They better keep it for the non existent january Direct that will come in August or something.

Definitely a chance as a big "one more thing" announcement.
Then again, Doug Bowser doesn't seem to have the same relationship with Geoff as Reggie did. Last year we didn't even get anything from Nintendo directly, just No More Heroes 3 (from Grasshopper) and Bravely Default 2 (from Square-Enix). That said I think Nintendo is publishing both games?

At this point I don't know what to expect. I still think BotW2 was originally meant to be the big holiday game for this year, but Covid screwed everything up. And with rumors still of a new Switch Pro or whatever you want to call it which might be in the first half 2021 or it might be in the second half, I feel like they'll want to tie to that release as well. Nintendo isn't above holding onto Zelda even if its finished to maximize its impact alongside hardware.
Holiday 2021 seems like forever though, that's nearly 5 years after BotW, which is a massive amount of time for a direct sequel that's using the same engine, assets and ostensibly from what we know the same map. The fact that it's not already out and we're close to 4 years kind of blows my mind.
