The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel announced
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
It seems pretty likely to me that the scene we saw was the start of the game, and something very bad was about to happen to hyrule, or the castle was taking they somewhere else
I think they will use the same map
Why bother add a waterfall if they will go to somewhere else? Just keep the map untouched and go to this "another place"
I now believe that it will be the same map with changes
Maybe they saw that scene and thought "This would look better if a waterfall was here, and we don't need to worry about how it fits with the rest of the environment because players will never actually get to that area (because you leave hyrule in the opening cutscene ;) )
It makes sense too but...im still skeptical
You can barely see the waterfall, in fact you can only see if you look close. Is too much trouble to add a new thing that will never be used
We will see later this year, probably
I doubt we'll see anything till E3 next year, but yeah, we'll see eventually :P
If this game comes out 2020 I'll eat my hat :D
I'm betting 2021 at least
The hand will transport link to the other side, the "dead" hyrule with all the ancient hero, the king etc, he will have a big quest to come back in the world of the living (like the dark world in tp maybe?) You play Link in this world and Zelda in the normal world, at the end, you defeated Ganon then the ancient spirit can go in peace (sorry my english is horrible)
maybe
maybe
You know, if the castle sank, it would be a really cool way to go back to Subrosia from Oracle of Seasons
Good theory but not a fact. We don't know if there ever was a good version of Ganondorf, or if the hero of legend was ever a Gerudo.
It looks like Ganondorf, who was stabbed through the chest, in Twilight Princess.
People who seriously believe they will just reuse the same map are out of their goddamn minds.
If they do, they will change the shit out of it.

Zelda: "do you really remember me?"
Link: *vacant stare*
Credits roll
Im going with no
We really need a Metroid game where you actually play as a Metroid.
I think the most interesting direction this game could take, would be a focus on Ganondorf's curse.
The mummified corpse is very obviously a Gerudo male, right?
A Gerudo male is born what, once every 100 years? That's stated in both Ocarina and BotW (and is the reason the female Gerudo venture out into Hyrule, to procreate with males from other races).
But not every Gerudo male is Ganondorf/Ganon/Demise reincarnated. In fact, as far as we know, there's only ever been one Ganondorf, born during the time of Ocarina (and lived through Wind Waker/Twilight). I don't think we've ever actually seen another Gerudo male.
As we know from BotW, there's now a lot of stigma attached to being that one Gerudo male born every 100 years. Urbosa still knows about Ganon originally being a male Gerudo.
So, my prediction is this - the mummified corpse is a Gerudo male, born after Ganondorf. Maybe he's even called Ganondorf, for god knows what reason. He knows about the legacy and stigma attached to male Gerudo (and his namesake), so takes it upon himself to become the champion of the Zelda of that time, to fight Calamity Ganon when he returned.
But in the end, the only way to stop Calamity Ganon back then was to sacrifice himself and become a vessel for Ganon/Demise/whatever.
Basically, I want more Ganondorf lore and even some form of tragic Ganondorf redemption arc.

I like this very much!! Would be lovely if the game had two finals a la Soulsborne where you take different steps through the game if you want to cure him or kill him.
On another note, one of the things I want for is mounts that aren't horses. Yes I'm well aware of all the things you can mount in BotW, but not as proper mounts that you keep.
I find that yak looking thing in the trailer very encouraging.

I think Hyrule Castle getting lifted is the biggest clue. It's getting moved, not just lifted up. The game will start in BotW Hyrule but the map will be vastly expanded as you sail across the seas in pursuit. The underground trailer is just story, albeit a darker story than BotW. The actual game will still be above ground mostly but now with dungeons.
So while i was looking at the map to see possible differences, i raised a lot of questions and i formed a theory, so i will begin with
What happened to the sheikah tech? All signs of it, towers, shrines,pillars are gone. Do it deactivated itself after it completed it task (help the hero)? Do zelda and the hylians managed to control it, and pull all back to earth? I think It it just deactivated themselves after calamity ganon was defeated
Now, looking at the teaser, we have some interesting things on it.
The dungeon and the hand. The dungeon is placed in a cave, and for certain that cave will head to hryule castle subterrain, we will be back to it in a moment. When they found ganondorf's body, it have that "hand" in him, a hand that uses a very similar jewlery that appears to be very similar of some of the dead sheikah monks we find in the shrines. So is possible that is sheikah tech/spell that is kepping the evil locked away. And yeah, is contaning the evil.
Now lets go to my theory on how the game will play out. I think there's a very strong possibility that all the dungeons will be underground this time, temples buried deep on earth, every single one with a boss and a hand that is/was holding it back, defeating the bosses will give some piece of sheikah tech or things related to that. The castle lifting is not new to ganondorf, he already did it in OOT. So for me, you have to kill all this monster first, and only then gain acess to the castle, much like OOT. And how the terrain will remain? They will change it with the excuse of "oh it passed 10/20 years so things change you know?" Towns will be bigger, new towns will appear, alongside new enemies and such. Exploration will now be headed to finding the dungeons, maybe with help of npcs or by yourself.
The hand will be links gimmick this time, i thing every item of the sheikah slate will be available to him with it, at the same time zelda will have the same abilities because of the sheika slate itself, then they will make her playable. Maybe with new weapons, maybe with the same things, we will never now. It exists a possibility that she's controlled by thr AI and the arm and the slate have different abilites, so puzzles will need a combination of the two.
I think the sheikah tribe will play a major role in this game again.

I only ever used those when I had to do so for quests haha.
You mean different mounts? Yeah they could do alit to make them better, in addition to bring fully tamabke.
Like say a big ol' mountain goat is slower than a horse, but it can scale mountains.
To a lesser extend, a buck is slower than a horse (but faster than it is in the first game), but can navigate off road areas with greater ease.
I don't feel like Nintendo would spend so much time on Link and Zelda's journey, or things like the yak creature, if it didn't play a big role in the gameplay. Even the first cinematic teaser for BotW was full of hints about the actual gameplay, from riding on horses, fighting guardians, and even the slow-motion archery. And going underground is the most obvious way to expand Hyrule and add new opportunities for exploration to the reused overworld.
I don't see that happening. BotW takes place so long after everything else explicitly so they could start unfucking the timeline. They wouldn't introduce a "time is a flat circle" concept and refuck the timeline.
Yeah there are some nice ideas in there. BUT if the Sheikah technology disapears, the slate would kind of have to disappear, too.
But they also kind of don't give a sh*t about the timeline.
Even if they did all of this they wouldn't clarify if it was actually SS or not lol
