Don't ruin my "we're going to the moon" theory damnitIt's the Gerudo symbol

Wasn't expecting a direct sequel, but damn. Looks darker than BotW, so perhaps a Majora esq to it.
If it's the same map with some changes, I'll be disappointed. Never a fan of that.
Do people think that's likely?

I could not possibly be more stoked for this sequel, BOTW is my favorite game since Super Mario Bros 3. This news is hard to beat.

They're definitely targeting Holiday 2020, but Zelda games have a long history of delays. BotW2 would be the first 3D Zelda not to see a delay since... Wind Waker? I think they're still being shy on a release year, so they don't have to formally delay it if 2020 doesn't pan out.
I worry about that too since people could just point out locations on BotW map for where things are in the game, but depending how much is changed in the overworld, I think it could work.
I don't get all the comparisons to Majoras Mask (as a game, reusing assets is fine) tone, the teaser was a bit dark yes but its a continuation of the same storyline, Majoras was way different with another antagonist and focus.this looks to be more BoTW wich is good
It is the first Zelda to reuse engine and be a direct sequel since Majora's Mask so ...
i wonder what they will archive on the switch
Like, they already have the tech in place ( i think it was the most difficult thing in BOTW, make a game like that run on a wii u) so...they just have to improve it
And the switch is more powerful, so we will see. Also, nintendo have to beat themselves haha lets see if Aonuma is up to the task

It looked like the Castle was uprooting itself at the end of the trailer. Maybe it flies off to a new land?
What about Spirit Tracks and A Link Between Worlds, (and Phanton Hourglass kf that counts
I worried too when I saw that shot with what seemed the BotW map. Hope we don't get the same map with changes.
No. They will reuse assets but the map has to change, like they did for Majora's Mask.
Ok, but they did not reuse assets as they did with Ocarina / Majora and probably Botw / This.
3 1/2 years development time for a "direct sequel" using a pre-existing engine/art style sounds about right. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were 2 years apart.
This is probably going to be their holiday 2020 game unless the quality of it for some reason is below standard.
I think you'll get Mario Odyssey 2 in 2020 also.

Yeah I think they will have to leave to follow it or something, and that beast Zelda is riding on has to be some kind of new mechanic, it has its own torch holders :D Maybe torchlight will be an all round new mechanic in the sequel, not just a few special areas.
I think this is also why BOTW didn't get a lot of DLC, they probably by summer 2017 realized BOTW was going to be the biggest selling Zelda game ever, and pivoted quickly towards just making a sequel game on the same engine instead.
Looks like a mixture of both tbh, the holes look suspicious. Gerudo symbol might as well be a mask. And nobody is stopping them to just write some lore where the Mask is connected to the Gerudo or something.It's the Gerudo symbol
I don't know if blowing their load with a BotW2 and Odyssey 2 in the same year would be a good idea. If Odyssey has a sequel it'd be smarter to hold it until the following year.
EAD Tokyo works pretty fast though, a new game every 2 years is pretty standard for them. I think maybe one of them coming in the summer and the other in late fall could happen.
Releasing a switch pro with these two games would be the best way to go up against the PS5 and Xbox next.
They're in a cave most of the trailer. Perhaps the focus isn't where the castle's going, but the hole it leaves behind.
I was initially upset at the shot of Hyrule but if it's an updated overworld with a massive cave system I'll be set.
If this is the case and it is not filled with at least 8 proper dungeons, then I'm pretty much out.
Good spot.I think it's his cape
He's wearing it in the cave painting:
The reverse speech really seems like it's connected to TP. Same for Ganondorf having the TP design.Look at her
I guess the hand reaching for him is not from space but from the twilight realm then maybe?
BOTW is connected to all the timelines anyway.
The new style of Zelda games focus more on exploration and traversal than dungeons, unlike the past several Zelda games. You might as well dip right now
