This all also doesn't account for when the castle fucking lifts into the air so that'll be interesting.
Yes most of the shrines were rather simple and I always marked the ones I spotted while playing through the game to complete them later. Helps that you have a radar for the last few you miss.

That's fine with me. There were lots of elements in BOTW's map that implied interesting lore (e.g. labyrinths, desert statues) that BOTW didn't make interesting use of from a story perspective.
Also, obviously the shrines/dungeons at the very least are not gonna be the same.

I don't get what you're trying to imply lol, BOTW is my favorite game ever, and I've made that fact abundantly clear on this forum (veering on being obnoxiously loud about it, if some people are to be believed).

So they are going with a heavy facelift of the world or some sort ? The good thing is that they can capitalize on the excellent world design and improve things way more in a shorter time.
On the other hand,I hope it doesn't come off as a reskin. Either way,let's see how this goes

World can literally mean anything. It doesnt mean the map will be the same otherwise I dont see why they wouldnt just make dlc

I know! You would think people would have a little bit more faith in Nintendo by now. Even if they would use the same map, it would obviously be recontextualized and populated with brand new reasons for exploration.
Fine by me. I'm sure they'll make the most of the real estate with feedback from us. aka more dungeons
With the added bonus of them not being able to fall back on flashback scenes to make most of the trailer engaging!
Totally agreed with all of this. Not to mention all of the different ways they could play with everyone's expectations coming off of spending 100+ hours exploring BotW's world.
I also am excited by the prospect of a new 3D Zelda game not taking 5+ years to release. Something like this is always a potential trade-off, and I'm fine with it.
right?! you would think people would have more faith in nintendo making a sequel to one their best and most important games ever.
Yeah because you keep changing "revisits that Hyrule" into "revisits the same Hyrule" for some reason
Good! This precisely what I wanted. Same map (with some changes) and new vast subterranean dungeons / locations to explore.
no offense but you could use even the tiniest bit of common sense and you'd come to the same conclusion
they pitched it as a sequel to Breath of the Wild. you think they're just going to have some new quests on the same map and that's the game? honestly?
love and respect but also whew lawd this thread
With just a little imagination you can see that this will obviously not be the exact same map. Each area will most likely be revamped, the world will have progressed with the time skip (which Zelda and Link's new hairstyles imply). You can already see areas changing with Hyrule castle lifting out of the ground, so it is already confirmed the map will not be literally the exact same as Botw.
I was initially disappointed that it will be a direct sequel to BotW, and this news doesn't wash away that disappointment, but I'm still going to try to stay open till we have more details. If it's going to be basically BotW 2.0, then that'll really be disappointing for me.
Yeah I fully expect something akin to Majora's beyond just the tone.
Nothing is obvious when it comes to Nintendo. There'll be different stuff in it, but no, it is not a given that the map will change.
I'm so happy about this. BotW Hyrule was absolutely glorious. I'd love to see how the kingdom has moved on from Calamity Ganon. Rebuilt, improved, expanded perhaps. New towns, repaired landmarks, etc.
Replace the Shrines with an underworld -if that's what the teaser showed us - and you've got a vast and brand new element to go alongside the familiar.

We're legit on the opposite ends of this. I know I'm in the minority, people absolutely adore BotW... but yeah, the game did very little for me. If it is more of the same I probably won't end up playing it, which is weird since I've played every Zelda game at this point.
BotW was the best selling Zelda game of all time. Nintendo would be crazy not to attempt a direct sequel
I know and I believe ya.
I'm suggesting that you jumped the gun a bit, and that for whatever reason, varying degrees of FUD (intentional or otherwise) re: Switch games have been allowed to fester here in ways I don't think would be tolerated with a wide range of other games.
That's what I mean when I said a like-for-like HZD2 thread would already be locked.
Nobody is going to see DMC V on the horizon and immediately assume, "Oh shit, DMC is a River City Ransom clone now", and that line of thought would get shut down quick.
but for a time, Mario Odyssey was an autorunner.
You see what I'm saying?
They just did make a brand new type of Zelda game.
It's called Breath of the Wild.
it's gonna be more Breath of the Wild
that's why it's a sequel to Breath of the Wild
Yeah, if anything I am excited tthat this game will probably not be too far off, while also being excited for seeing how this awesome world and characters will have progressed.
