The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel announced

[makonero]

The dead body reminded me of Twinrova. But the idea of using the Twilight realm is intriguing...

In any case, I want it to be Link that gets captured or possessed and Zelda has to save him, and also all of Hyrule. Gives a good reason to not have your powers and health and such from the original BotW.

 

[grand]

Same map, but cataclysm'ed?

Click to shrink...

Cataclysm, time travel, Majora's mask-esque inverted world... There's a lot of ways to keep the same general terrain/world map while also keeping it fresh by changing it up

 

[Deleted member 45414]

Imagine that would save so much time and resources in making a new game. People have expanded a bit more to reclaim and repair Hyrule, but all these chasms beneath the land have opened up like old wounds...

Fuck

Fuckfuckfuck...

Click to shrink...

People did complain about not enough dungeons in BOTW, so maybe this one is ALL dungeons (and caves) :O

 

[pixelation]

I think this is releasing soon, same engine, same world... Looks like a big expansion pack if anything.

 

[Metalgus]

Not sure why people think this game is going to take forever to come out. They're clearly leaning heavily on BotW assets.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, and not just assets, but systems as well. I see March 2021 at the latest.

Edits: Well, we didn't see the systmes at work in the trailer, but it's a given to me that that's what they'll do since they're using BotW assets.

 

[Timbuktu]

hm we can see that the green energy is affecting links arm in one shot. this will probably allow him to use some kinda new gimmick / new items probably. i don't see zelda be playable as the main character here

Click to shrink...

It's going full on Princess Mononoke.

 

[TrueSloth]

They learned their lesson from BotW and didn't promise a year. I'm not expecting this before 2021.

Click to shrink...

Its reusing assets. I cant imagine it would take that long

 

[Deleted member 11182]

I'm happy with this but I will echo the concerns that what we saw looks too similar to BOTW. My heart sunk when I saw the view of the overworld. Hopefully it manages to differentiate sufficiently. Also I take it for granted that this isn't the true-true next big Zelda. Otherwise consider me disappointed.

 

[Z-Beat]

How are people not realizing that the villain was Yuga from Link Between Worlds?

Click to shrink...

Yuga didn't have that necklace, I thought

 

[deep_dish]

They should call it 'Breath of the Wild II: The Adventure of Zelda' as a call back to NES sequel and make Zelda the main playable character

 

[Enduin]

I would expect they're shooting for Q4 2020. that would be a solid 3+ years on an already established and known engine, asset pipeline and workflow. Plus probably lots of ready to use assets they can recycle and build off of quickly. It would be really bizarre if this took longer given it's not a clean slate new game.

 

[silva1991]

Imagine if this is as creepy and dark as Majora's Mask.

 

[Deleted member 40102]

Playable zelda for sure.

 

[Deleted member 24540]

How are people not realizing that the villain was Yuga from Link Between Worlds?

Same crown, same long red hair...

Click to shrink...

Oh shit, Dark World confirmed

 

[JoRu]

Games still take time to make, it's not like they're just dragging and dropping things already there.

Click to shrink...

Of course. But reasonably things should go faster if you don't have to revamp all your tech and make huge amounts of work from scratch, like they had when they made BotW.

 

[Genio88]

THIS!!

Click to shrink...

What do you mean, we know where it is, Retro just started working on it earlier this year, which means we won't see it soon, but we know it's coming, unlike the Breath of the Wild sequel which was not likely since Nintendo always change the Zelda formula

 

[Deleted member 48434]

People did complain about not enough dungeons in BOTW, so maybe this one is ALL dungeons (and caves) :O

Click to shrink...

If this game is ALL dungeons, you def won't hear me complaining.

 

[Silent]

Link's hand also gets glowy.

 

[PantherLotus]

MUTHA

FUCKIN

HYPE

... SPACE OR SKY ZELDA???

 

[The Doctor]

Video in Reverse

Click to shrink...

That's fucking terrifying.


So, what I can see is that they are walking through a dungeon underneath the Castle. They find a Gerudo Corpse seemingly stabbed through the chest (Ganondorf from TP, I assume). The Calamity malice emerges from it, but there's a Goddess(?) hand holding it down.
Everything goes to shit, the Corpse awakens, Zelda seems to fall and Link seems to be rescued by the Goddess hand. The Castle seems to emerge from the ground at the end.

Also, Zelda cut her hair.

 

[Plum]

Yo I just realised

What if Zelda has short hair to avoid the potential clipping issues with armour?

 

[TheCongressman]

So, um, that corpse is wearing very similar clothing to Zelda's ceremonial stuff. Was that her mother?

Edit: nope. I see the Gerudo stuff.

 

[ChrisR]

Meh at more BOTW. What a statement.

Click to shrink...

Sorry, I'm just a huge fan of "classic" Zelda titles and extremely disappointed with almost everything that BOTW has to offer. I might force myself to finish it one day but I've tried to play it twice now and it's just not taking.

 

[Masagiwa]

Link's hand also gets glowy.

Click to shrink...

Gooigi?

 

[Galava]

Zelda is going to be playable because she cut her hair. Less clipping with armor and gear. Link is gonna get grabbed by that hand and trapped.

 

[DangerMouse]

Playable Zelda, I can feel it....

Click to shrink...

I hope so, but not getting my hopes up this time. Will only believe it when I see it after the bs of last time where they even thought it'd be funny to joke about it.

 

[takriel]

Same map, but cataclysm'ed?

Click to shrink...

I bet the novel addition will be the underground world. Like, the overworld will be pretty similar, but now we have basically double that with the underground sections. Also, I expect classic dungeons in the underworld.

 

[lexible]

I am putting a large wager behind a full reveal at The Game Awards this year.

 

[Scrooge]

I just find it odd that someone would go somewhere where people are all celebrating a thing just to tell them how much they dislike the thing being celebrated is all. It's less "policing" and more out of confusion. If I don't like something I just put it behind me, I don't feel the need to tell people that enjoy that thing that I dislike it.

Click to shrink...

This thread is about the announcement of the BOTW sequel. It is not a Zelda cheer thread.

Many people are happy that it's a direct sequel. Some of us (for various reasons) are not. Everyone is free to say whether or not they like what Nintendo revealed.

 

[Plinko]

So, um, that corpse is wearing very similar clothing to Zelda's ceremonial stuff. Was that her mother?

Click to shrink...

The corpse has long red dreads and a crown identical to Yuga from Link Between Worlds. My guess is that's how they bring Dark World into it.

 

[Alienous]

Late 2020 for a direct Breath of the Wild sequel would be my guess.

They're going to refine and add and that takes less time than reinventing.

 

[Callego]

Playable Zelda is a possibility due to her new hair style. The short hair will remove the issue of hair physics on a player character getting tangled on the outfits. I really this will be the one.

 

[effingvic]

The art direction for this game is absolutely stunning. Better than anything I've seen in E3 so far (Ori comes close though)

 

[Deleted member 1413]

That's pretty exciting. Guessing it's not the same hyrule map, maybe the underworld from Zelda 1 or something.

 

[Hu3]

I think this is a prequel, this will show what happened before breath of the wild.

 

[RagnarokX]

How are people not realizing that the villain was Yuga from Link Between Worlds?

Same crown, same long red hair...

Click to shrink...

It's Ganondorf. He's covered in Gerudo symbols and the paintings on the wall depict Ganondorf with the trident of power riding a horse.

 

[808s & Villainy]

It's going full on Princess Mononoke.

Click to shrink...

Yesss YESSS

 

[AzureFlame]

This is like Majaros Mask situation here.

 

[MXT]

It's less "policing" and more out of confusion. If I don't like something I just put it behind me, I don't feel the need to tell people that enjoy that thing that I dislike it.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, stop doing that and you'll be fine.

 

[Spaltazar]

after lo and hy rule its time to check out middle earth (midrule?)

 

[julian]

The real surprise was that the trailer took place in a cave

Click to shrink...

Yeah, you're right. I'm over arguing about this though, game looks rad and BOTW was incredible. Very excited for it.

 

[Kattbuss]

Holy shit! Can't wait!

 

[Eggiem]

Wait, what happens to the map there?

 

[scare_crow]

haha, okay bud. I like enjoying things, if you don't that's fine too

Click to shrink...

Ha. "Bud." Cute.

When did I say that, exactly? I loved BotW and think this looks great. Not liking something doesn't mean not liking everything. You should be confident enough in your opinions not to get all defensive when someone disagrees.

Enjoy your OMG HYPE!!!!! lil guy.

 

[AtomicShroom]

I knew they had put way too much time and work into that engine for it to be used in only one game!

 

[srtrestre]

Man, the music....... CHILLS

 

[tellNoel]

So, um, that corpse is wearing very similar clothing to Zelda's ceremonial stuff. Was that her mother?

Click to shrink...

only if Zelda's mom is a Gerudo

 

[En-ou]

Chances are they'll keep the BotW Zelda English VA, whose performance wasn't very well-received. Though the voice wasn't my favorite either, the options of keeping her with a lot of harsh fan complaints or just replacing her are both less than ideal, or respectful to her efforts.

Anyway, we'll see what kind of structure the game will take, and whether we'll see a new map.

Click to shrink...

That's like the least of worries. Nintendo doesn't care about story. Its all about gameplay.

 

[bye]

Honestly have the feeling they are just gonna copy/paste the world and I want nothing to do w it
