Nintendo has announced a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3 2019.
In a surprise final announcement, we saw a trailer that showed us a return to BotW’s version of Hyrule, but with a seemingly much darker tone. The game seems to centre on Link and Zelda adventuring together, and awakening of a mummified figure that may be the original Ganon.
No release date or gameplay was shown, but we were told the game is in development.
There’s a lot to unpack here. The True Ending to BotW saw Zelda seemingly shorn of her powers, but intent on rebuilding her fallen kingdom. Specifically, she and Link are heading to the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, which has stopped working. It’s possible that’s the catalyst for what’s happening in the sequel.
