![]() ![]() Bill Trinen, Senior Product Marketing Manager of Nintendo of America, spoke of BOTW 2 in a recent broadcast with IGN, and its much-noted comparison to the relationship between the N64's Ocarina of Time and its sequel, Majora's Mask. Nintendo's Treehouse is always a great place to find new info on upcoming Nintendo games, and Breath of the Wild 2 is no different. We think, from the mechanics and characters to the locations and narrative, both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild 2 could share a surprising amount of commonality and we've explained why you should consider paying attention to Skyward Sword HD in the run-up to the release of Breath of the Wild 2.īOTW 2 and those Majora's Mask comparisons There's still a wait for Breath of the Wild 2 but Nintendo has released an HD remaster of Skyward Sword in the meantime and we think it's worth playing while you wait. “This might just be a dummy upgrade until Breath Of The Wild 2 is ready and the component shortage is over next year.” ![]() Speaking to Bloomberg, Toto said: “This new Switch looks more like an interim model than a real upgrade to me,” Toto told Bloomberg. Toto has suggested that the Switch OLED might be a “dummy upgrade” before a real upgrade arrives next year. ![]() However, according to Tokyo-based analyst Serkan Toto, a Nintendo Switch Pro could still happen. The announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED put a dampener on those rumors of a high-powered, 4K Nintendo Switch Pro intended to launch with Breath of the Wild 2. At the moment, it remains unclear as to when we’ll get our next update on Breath of the Wild 2.Ī Nintendo Switch Pro could still be in the works The news was confirmed in an official Tweet from the Nintendo account. The game didn't make an appearance at Tokyo Game Show in October, either, after Nintendo confirmed that it wouldn't be present at the show. Breath of the Wild 2 news and rumorsĬould Zelda have a bigger role this time around?Īs insiders suggested would be the case, Nintendo’s September Direct didn’t include an update on Breath of the Wild 2. We wouldn't usually expect so much animation to be done so early in development, but it probably helps that Nintendo already has the in-game engine from Breath of the Wild. The clip finishes with a message that reads: "The sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in development." There's a tremor, the castle is smothered with dust. The video then cuts to a long shot of Hyrule Field, with Hyrule Castle in the distance. Something shocks the pair, and then we cut to what appears to be the resurrection of some long-dead (and creepy looking) warrior. Spirit-like tendrils creep around the musty tomb they're exploring, with the pair riding a large elephant-like beast. It features a torch-carrying Link and Zelda traversing a dark dungeon beneath Hyrule (no big surprise there). The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 trailer that first revealed the game is just 82 seconds long and there's no dialogue whatsoever, but there are some clues to be gathered from it. reverting in time? We're not entirely sure, but it's clear that some new mechanics will be introduced into the Zelda formula, while one of the first game's sentient boulder enemies (that's Stone Pebblit to you) is shown with a Bokoblin fort on its back for BOTW 2, suggesting even more dynamic interplay between the game's many enemies. There's even a short clip of a splashed puddle. There's some paragliding up in the clouds, along with more a freefall mechanic that seems ripped right out of Skyward Sword, and a new glove that looks to be taking the place of the Sheikah slate for Breath of the Wild 2. We got a better look at Breath of the Wild 2 in the E3 2021 Nintendo presentation, and it showed off a vast, expansive world of Hyrule – expanded even further with navigation into the skies, despite the more dungeon-crawling feeling of the original 2019 teaser. We don't know if that's early 2022 or late 2022, but it's worth noting that the original Nintendo Switch launched with Breath of the Wild in March 2017, so a March 2022 date would prove a neat five-year anniversary. ![]()
