The trailer shown during the Direct definitely made it seem like we would be following the same characters from BotW on another adventure. It will be interesting to see where this one goes.

 

Sadly, no mention of a release date, which means it's probably a few years off.

If Nintendo expected it to arrive in late 2020, I would have expected them to say so in the trailer. It could happen, but for now I remain skeptical.

 

 

Yeah, a DOS prompt saying "The sequel to Breathe of the Wild is now in development" looks like something the secretary typed up this morning.  If it weren't for the cinematic they showed before it, I'd say they decided this past Friday that they were going to make this game.

Not a coincidence that they're remastering Skyward Sword then...  Not sure I believe 2022, but more Zelda is always welcome.  I really wonder how they're approaching this one-similar to BOTW with the "you get every ability you need in the first hour of the game" model, or something more traditional Zelda?

I tried to love the first game and it just never clicked, frankly.


I fell somewhere in between, I guess.  I definitely had a good enough time to sink something like 120 hours into BotW, and I was surprisingly okay with the destructible weapons.  But one of the problems with being able to do anything you want in any order is a less satisfying sense of progression (in terms of story, characterization, and gameplay), the world felt like it was stretched larger than it needed to be with vast expanses of little-to-nothing, there were too few unique concepts spread across too many of those puzzle shrines, there wasn't a whole lot of variety in enemy encounters...  The emphasis was so much on "big!" and "freedom!" that it wound up being too wide yet too shallow.

Elden Ring suffers from similar issues in some ways but they have taken the concept of Breath of the Wild and they fixed many of the issues I had with it. (Actually well designed, lengthy, dungeons. No breakable weapons.  The world is big but has purpose and content, etc). Where it falters is in some of that content feeling a bit recycled from time to time due to the staggering nature of the size of its world. Along with that is sense of progression isn’t anywhere near as tight as the Souls games or Bloodborne as you say. I think it’s an amazing achievement and I love so much of what I’ve played, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t prefer the more linear nature of Bloodborne or Dark Souls.

Looks great. One of my most anticipated games. BOTW is one of the best games ever. Slap some longer, proper, dungeons in it and it would be near perfect. 

 

They can take however long they need. 


I guess I’ll just say this again.
