That has changed obviously and it doesn't sound like it'll be that much longer from when it was suspected it would be released. Since that time, we got a relatively solid release year at least from the horses mouth. And who knows what this project has turned into from what it started out as ( which we know was exrptra content that became too big to be DLC). No one foresaw then what the next two years would be like. That post was back in June of 2019, a full nine months before crap hit the fan with Covid. Also hoping you can dive underwater in this game. I'll be much less bitter about re-exploring the same land if they're planning to more than double it. A whole underground world where you play as Zelda would be cool. Hoping there's some truth to the duality idea. Surely they do, given the development time. Really hoping they have something more up their sleeve as I'm just not that impressed yet. Boloblins have long horns like a unicorn now and can ride on Stone Taluses, the most generic and faceless boss that I've already killed a million of.wow, so exciting. I'm sure there's more surprises in store, but from what they've shown so far, it just sort of looks like a DLC expansion. I just got super burned out on the first Breath of the Wild and at this point am in no hurry to play the sequel. But for me, this is exciting because it means Nintendo pretty much has to release Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD this year, which are my 2 favorite Zelda games. In Skyward Sword, they were very much distinct areas, though we are desperately hoping for a fluid transition between them if the Switch (or the power of its rumored Nintendo Switch Pro successor) is able to support it.īeing able to stand at one end of the map in Breath of the Wild and see the other side was what made the game’s exploration feel so expansive, and we need Nintendo to ensure the same applies when we’re looking down from the clouds.įloating gently down from the skies into the arms of a Moblin on a snowy mountain peak, or into the path of the dragon, would be a truly magical experience that further highlights the beautiful vistas of Hyrule, and shows that Nintendo can outdo the incredible, sprawling Zelda game we loved back in 2017.I hate it's been delayed for the sake of the people who were really looking forward to it this year. We’re yet to see exactly how ground-level Hyrule and its sky-level counterpart will intersect, and it’s the most fascinating part of the E3 trailer so far. It made a lot of sense for Nintendo to shake up its formula by embracing the dungeons it had largely diminished in the 2016 game – but we can’t deny that it makes even more sense for Nintendo to lean into BOTW’s open-world stylings even further, expanding vertically for a bigger sandbox that incorporates the skies. The flicker of a shadow appeared to show the villain from Skyward Sword, Demise, while the terrifying skeleton’s attire – like that of Link’s in the new trailer – has elements of Grecian design that match the earlier game’s aesthetic.īut the new E3 unveiling is so antithetical to the feel of the initial teaser that it comes as something of a shock. There were some hints towards this in the 2019 teaser, now that we look back. The feel of the game so far appears to be nothing like Majora’s Mask, and much closer to Skyward Sword (a Wii / Wii U from 2011), the earliest canonical entry in the Zelda series and one that takes place at least partially in the floating city of Skyloft. There are several vistas that show a recognizable Hyrule from the first game, but the vantage point is much higher than the Ubisoft-like towers that allow Link to fast-travel in the first BOTW game. What looked like in-game footage showed Link paragliding through the clouds, and even teleporting upwards into floating structures – while Hyrule Castle itself floated off of the ground at the trailer’s close. It showed the Hyrule we knew from the original BOTW game, from a much higher vantage point – and instead of delving deeper underground, it lifted Link up into the skies. The new Breath of the Wild 2 trailer was the opposite of what Nintendo primed fans for back in 2019.
