JFo Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 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 it's using the same assets in a Majora-like sequel, I don't think next fall is out of the realm of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 The teaser... I too would not be at all surprised to see this as soon as holiday 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 They would want a heavy hitter to go up against the new consoles. Zelda is as heavy as it gets. Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFo Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. secretvampire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’m happy with more BOTW. My only real wish for it would be to have actual Zelda like dungeons. The substitutes in BOTW never quite scratched that itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimness Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I feel that given the development time for any franchise in this day and age, we'll probably be playing this game on the new Nintendo system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I really don’t think it would take too long, assuming it would indeed base itself on a number of BOTW assets of course. If they target a holiday 2020 release it would already be almost four-years after the last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBardon Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 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?

Angry the Clown Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 If they're slapping 2022 on it six months into 2021 then I'd actually be quite confident about it arriving next year. Honestly I think that were it not for the pandemic we'd be seeing it close out the series' anniversary year, but it's not to be. All three consoles are going to have an incredible 2022.

Graeme Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Romier S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

kelley Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I hated the weapon breaking in the first one and if they carry it over to this one I’ll have no desire to play it. NickC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
