I sometimes think about how weird a name "Ocarina of Time" would have been if it just didn't happen to be attached to one of the most iconic games ever made.
"The fucks an Ocarina?"

For real though I have yet to see a "rumoured" title for BotW2 that isn't comically bad

SHADOWS OF THE UNDERGROUND
DEPTHS OF DARKNESS
CHAOS OF THE REALM
BREATH OF THE EVIL

One of those fake leaks spoke of "Echoes of the Past", which would be a less ridiculous name in my opinion. "The Sheikah Pedestal", lol which one of them? We got tens of 'em in the original game

Maybe a very important and unique Sheikah Pedestal that allows you to open a portal through time.

idk

What everyone seems to be overlooking is that BotW is going to become its own sub-series. "Breath of the Wild" will become the new title, with a subtitle appended to it.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2: The Squeakuel

I think it wil have Earth in the title because of the underground.

Either Breath of the Earth, if it doesn't have Breath in the title Heart of the Earth or Whisper of the Earth.

Maybe The Earth Gauntlet because of Link's glove. (And Gaunlet has more than one meaning, the gauntlet of monsters underground) I guess if human Ganon is revived, he'll have his own one, like how he has his own beast form in Twilight Princess, to contrast with Link's.

The Shiekah Pedestal, I doubt is the name. I think it will sound grander and more intruiging. Ocarina of Time may sound weird too out of context, but 'Time' adds grandeur to it. There's no epic word in that title like 'Sky', 'Wild' or 'Awakening' which I think is more likely.

Or there might be a weird mysterious word like Minish or Majora. Shiekah doesn't sound that mysterious and we know who they are.

I guess it will have the word 'Silent' or 'Earth' in it, which sounds more like a Zelda title to me.

The LoZ series has managed to have some evocative titles that stand out and avoid sounding terribly generic.
Yes, it is interesting that there is no official title that I dislike or that is made fun of really by the fanbase, yet there hasn't been ONE made up/inofficial title in zelda history that doesn't sound straight up bad. Weird how they do it.

With the amount of effort some people put in to create fake leaks, you would think someone would come up with something decent/believable at some point.

Wind Waker got loads of fart jokes, and idiots thought Twilight Princess was a bad title because it wasn't bad arse enough and had princess in the name.

Wait so do we think that domain renewal actually means something, or...?

Zelda is so secretive, they won't let the title get leak so easily. Most people don't know what is happening with the game and their plans with it.
I do like how their titles are always so representative of the game yet focusing on a key element that isn't too obvious as a name.

Who do y'all think has the best video breakdown of the Breath of the Wild sequel trailer and speculation on the game?

I remember seeing a bunch back the week the trailer dropped, but surely someone has come out with a more thorough and better video deciphering the cryptic trailer...

There's really not much there to decipher; nearly the entire trailer takes place somewhere we haven't seen before. The theories everyone ran with a year and a half ago are still all we have.

Literally counting down the seconds until we get some more news on this. Coming up to the 3 year anniversary of the release, as well as the Zelda anniversary as a series, so really hoping for something. Anything!

4 year anniversary of the release actually.

And in June it'll be 2 years since BotW 2 was announced.

I'm just really hoping it's not _____ of the ______ .
"Donkey of the Kongs"

The names of zelda titles, if they woult not be official ones, would sound fake.
"Twilight Princess" sounds edgy. "Link between worlds" sounds like a fanfic not to link to the bast. "Links Awakening" is kinda a generic gaming title. "Oracle of Ages/Seasons" sounds like the fake mystic stuff. "Phantom Hourglass"... Phantom is usually something dark/edgy?

So yeah, its not as if the titles dont sound that weird from the get go.
