The story will be awesome.
Link will convince Zelda to use her dragons to help unite the tribes of Hyrule to fight against a resurrected Ganon.
Then he'll stab Zelda through the heart after she goes cray-cray and murders half of Hyrule city upon realizing Link actually is next in line for the throne (by virtue of being her nephew, whom she has already slept with).
Zelda's dragon will burn down the the throne room and fly away. Link will be banished to the Mushroom Kingdom to appease the council of remaining characters.
It's going to be great.

I appreciate your work and would like to nominate you for an Emmy for best writing.
I'll write it, but only if the game can be 15 hours long, because I need to move on to my next gig.
The thought of Zelda unleashing Dinraal on castle town is so funny.
Let's have Tyrion be Impa
yes cram it all in so you can get to Metroid! Lol
Throw in some gratuitous Zelda nudity and Deku Tree cracking jokes about how much bigger his trunk is than Link's and you've got yourself a deal!
I find it highly likely that Breath of the Wild was released with the idea being to build on the (incomplete) world they made with dlc expansions, but decided after release to instead merge all the expansion ideas and beef things up a bit so as to make it a whole second release. Thus them announcing the first dlc would be the only one, despite there being such glaring opportunities for more.

I've even got a killer scene where the remaining council of Hyrule characters finish the game's story arguing over how to reopen Hyrule's brothels. Camera dollys out ... to credits. Link goes to the Mushroom Kingdom to find his buddy Luigi is waiting for him post credits. It will be very emotional and profound.
What do you mean it never happens? People only really started asking for it after that first BotW trailer when he looked like a girl. This is the first game game since that one and it looks like we'll get to play as Zelda. Seems like they're listening.
That doesn't make sense though. Ganon/Ganondorf is what remained after Demise used his dying his moments to lay a curse to force his, Link's, and Zelda's/Hylia's conflict to repeat into perpetuity. Ganon/Ganondorf is his avatar in the effects of the curse.
Since you mentioned it,
Can I ask what the other game was?
So you're not much of a fan of four swords or triforce heroes then? Shame they're great, I'd love to see optional elements from those games included. I'd take a whole botw game like that too but I doing that's the case.
Female Link =/= Playable Zelda
People have been asking for the latter for the longest time lol
People's evidence of them "listening" is a hair change, and Aonuma being a little coy, despite that same coyness being what mistakenly led people to believe it would happen for BoTW in the years before its release.
Next trailer at Game Awards is my bet as well. Just given Nintendo's historical presence there and Zelda's presence especially.
Honestly with how much BotW apparently changed before release, wouldn't be surprised if it was something they were considering then decided against
Yeap, and i think there they will give a estimate release date (like holiday 2020 or simple 2020)
With this and Keanu at the Msoft conference I do see what people mean by leaks ruining the joy of E3.
Given his past comments (i.e. the infamous "What is Link going to do"), I personally am not giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Only way I'll be convinced of playable Zelda is to see it with my own eyes at this point lol
Just spitballing ideas here...
Zelda and Link will both be playable in some fashion, though perhaps not at the same time. Whatever takes over Link's right hand will likely imbue him with abilities Zelda doesn't have, and Zelda will probably have abilities Link doesn't have. It may be advantageous (or necessary) to play as one or the other or both to get through certain segments. I don't think Nintendo would do something like show Zelda exploring with Link in the first trailer of the game innocuously, just like how Link using a Guardian Arrow in the BotW reveal trailer ended up being significant to BotW's backstory.
I'm not sure the shots of them exploring with the oxen are taking place beneath Hyrule castle. If you're just going to a tomb beneath the castle, why do you need to bring an ox with tons of supplies? The only explanation would be that it isn't beneath the castle at all, or it's waaaaay down there, like miles down, which would lend some credence to the theory that much of the game takes place in caverns and crypts beneath Hyrule. Would also fit the dark tone of the trailer I suppose.
This sounds obvious, but Ganondorf's revival will be a central focus of the game. I think the trailer starting and ending with Ganondorf's heartbeat suggests that he won't just be the villain in the plot, but that the intrinsic tie between the three triforce characters will be explored and fleshed out through the game, similar to how BotW's reveal trailer featured a guardian chasing Link and the history of the guardians ended up being a huge part of the story. Maybe Link and Zelda getting close to Ganondorf's corpse is actually what revived it, and the energy that wraps around Link's arm is "punishing" or "cursing" Link for allowing Ganondorf to ressurect himself. I wouldn't be surprised if the story of BotW 2 focuses heavily on Ganondorf's history and fleshing him out as a character (literally and figuratively it seems.)
Gameplay wise, I have this idea that Ganondorf won't just resurrect and then sit around and wait for you, but might actively pursue you. Similarly to how the Yiga clan would pursue you in BotW, but more foreboding. Perhaps you could try to fight Ganondorf at any point as he pursues you, just like how you could fight Calamity Ganon at any point in BotW, but until you're stronger and more well-equipped it would be a quick death, like leaving the shrine of resurrection and running straight to a Silver Lynel with a tree branch. The idea of being lost somewhere on the map and then hearing this faint, foreboding music signifying that Ganondorf is closing in on you would be pretty intense and compelling, in my opinion.
I really don't know what to make of Hyrule Castle lifting off the ground, but I think we can narrow it down to two options: 1) the castle lifting allows you to explore the ruins beneath it, and this is what causes Link and Zelda to find Ganondorf's corpse in the first place (though what lifts the castle in the first place is a mystery) and then you spend much of the game beneath Hyrule or 2) Link and Zelda are in the castle when it takes off, and we're transported to a whole new map. Based on the trailer, I think there's probably more evidence for the former than the latter right now but my gut tells me Nintendo wouldn't make an almost entirely subterranean Zelda game.

Nintendo is really into leakers these days, its better to stay quiet.
The return of Ganondorf, the King of Evil, Gerudo King, Demon King.
The Legend of Zelda: King of the Wild
Zelda will be playable and her haircut is a major feature.
The Legend of Zelda: Queen of the Styled
not sure if anyone mention this before, but I remember Aonuma once said that during development the team was working on how to implement the hookshot in Botw, but they remove it since it made traversal too fast, wonder if they will add it now, imagine swinging around hyrule like spider-man...
Countless different 'Zelda: _____ of the wild' titles is just dumb. It will hopefully, and should have a proper new title.
Zelda: Awoken Souls
Zelda: Spirits Reborn
These titles are kind of lamb because they are just based off what was shown in the short teaser, but something like that.

I would love to play as Zelda at some point in the game (if not the whole game), but I think that they'll have some sort of explanation as to why you can't play as Link. IIRC at some interview a while back Aonuma said that they turn down the idea to have Zelda playable because then that raised the question "what would Link do?". So my guess is that Link gets trapped at some point during the game and that leads to Zelda saving Hyrule baby. I wonder if that ever happens how different will gameplay be in comparison with Link
I really hope Zelda is playable and they really go all with it as an option and mechanic, even for co-op which I don't give a flying fuck about but if that's what it takes to open this door to Zelda bring it, but I'm not holding out for it or taking nothing statements by Aonuma as any kind of confirmation or hint at it. My belief in Nintendo to actually make that leap is near rock bottom.
Really though, 3d Zelda titles aaaalways reference a central gameplay mechanic in the title, so a correct guess would probably reference what's happening to Link's arm in some way.
yup, makes sense.
Out of some curiosity, if it got revealed in a future Direct/whatever, would you be willing to to say "this was the game" after the fact.
I've just been interested in what gets retooled, cancelled, or put on pause in Nintendo's pipeline. With recent stories like LM3 Wii U, Retro doing whatever, many others
that would exactly be a leak tho lol.
And would get picked up by sites, etc.
Which he said he isn't doing.
Infinitely better than Breath of the Wild 2 or ____ of the Wild though...
My main concern for this game is that it won't be able to have an in-depth story alongside a world that is as rich and amazing as BotW's. If they sacrifice the freedom and the joy/magic of exploration for a better story, then it will probably still be a great game, but it'll fall short of the magic of the original Breath of the Wild. However, if they can capture the same magic, even if the atmosphere is more creepy, alongside a better story and hopefully more traditional dungeons, then it will easily be the best game I've ever played.

Soo i was analyzing that shot from the hryule field that appears on the trailer, comparing side by side to see if i spot any differences, and there's nothing much, just:
Towers are gone, you can see in the mountain where it was akkala's tower (i think is this tower) , in the same angle you can cleary see it in BOTW but is not there in the teaser
Death Mountain looks bigger, im not sure if is effect of the video, but is bigger by a small amount i think, im not sure why they made this change, if they made it
They added a waterfall to a mountain in the left
And thats about it to be honest
