I would guess this is the spiritual remake of Adventures of Link with the dead Ganon thing. Finally we might get Horsehead in 3D.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel announced
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
Don't know that it'd convince me to buy a Switch, but I gotta admit this looks like a big improvement over BotW narratively.
if they really started directly after dev on botw was done then 2020 would pan out as they have all the tools already at their disposal and dont need to create them from scratch + a better mastery of all these tools. i mean the dlc they made certainly wasnt some herculean effort that required the entire team to stand by. im sure the majority of the zelda teamt were already busy getting concepts for the next one out by then, if not far earlier
Trailer looks neat, I'm interes-
Never mind, guess I'm skipping this too
lol, I hope not. But really it could go either way. Zelda has those crazy long development times but then sometimes Nintendo will pop out a sequel real quick so who knows? I'm betting 2021 at the latest. I would have bet 2020 but I figure they would have announced that if it was next year.
Good point. If we are to assume there is another, separate "world" with more limited resources, this mechanic could be pushed to it's limits.
I don't think any other series changes art styles and gameplay styles as drastically or frequently as Zelda. Mario is the next closestIs there another franchise out there than can pull this off?
Hmmm, no, that's from the bird beast I'm pretty sure. But yes, that is the best power.

Lol Persona is trying
Amazing that you can tell it looks like DLC from a cinematic, lmao.
BOTW started on Wii U. The sequel should be on Wii U. Plain and simple. There is a reason the Shiekah Slate is a Gamepad.
Personally i was really hoping that this was going to be made for the N64.
2020 is easily possible and with next gen coming its best to have a big beast like this ready. 3 years seems enough tbh they are reussing the assets so a 4-5 year dev cycle would be weird.
This being iterative I have to think that's what the plan is. It makes too much sense, it gives the masses of returning players a "fresh" experience in the world they've already seen and incentive to explore it again while new players get to have both elements.
The last of us started on the PS3.
The last of us 2 should be on PS3. Plain and simple.
Re-using the map of BOTW as a base, but early in the game (near the very start most likely) I would presume the map gets altered somehow. Probably waking up the skeleton triggers things like the castle rising up into the sky, and much of the land impacted. If the castle is pulling a skyloft, then it could be an automated emergency reaction to ganon/whatever about to render the surface world unsafe (and altered from how it was in BOTW). Or maybe the skeleton just raises up the castle into the sky and takes possession of it as a floating fortress. I lean towards the first option if only because I'm expecting something that quickly alters the world map with a simple explanation.
Plenty of space in the map for full dungeons - especially if they expand it to incorporating an underground.
Zelda being playable seems something Nintendo has been building up to in the games, and who better than a Zelda that is already established and has strong powers of her own. My money is on Zelda being playable. Whether you can switch between them, play at the same time/switchable (possibly with co-op), or have to pick at the beginning is TBD. I don't think they'll make Zelda the only playable one though, so the speculations of her rescuing Link wouldn't be more than a brief sequence.
Speculation time is back! Ahhh it's fun.

If it's reusing the same world there's no reason it shouldn't be able to hit 2020.
If you enjoy a ton of puzzles go ahead and enjoy, if it's the story you're after, just watch on youtube.
Let's see if I'll find my motivation to finally continue the first one until this comes out...
Of course development times can change (Animal Crossing getting delayed) but zell did say this game is coming out next year... holding out hope Nintendo doesn't delay it!
Super Mario Galaxy started on Wii. If they make another sequel it should be on the Wii. Yep.
And, wait, Luigi's Mansion 3 is not on the GameCube?! WTF.
