One of the great unknowns of Nintendo after the surprise revelation it made during the past E3 2019. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will have a sequel in Nintendo Switch, one that for now is known among the community with the name of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. A game that is quite a mystery, since for now we have only been able to see a teaser that is close to a year old, but of which it is very possible that we know more thanks to the details that begin to emerge in the network.
Tyler McVickerThe head of the Valve News Network that brought Half-Life: Alyx into existence long before it became official, has spoken about the new Zelda on a recent Twitch stream. Although it also has a channel dedicated to Nintendo on the network, it was during a live broadcast where he spoke about what he has heard about the new Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch. As collected in Reddit, McVicker has pointed out that the game will be "fairly linear in the beginning," since Link already knows Hyrule and does not have to re-climb towers.
It also ensures that Developers have filled the world with a Ganon's miasma version« and until this kind of infection is cleaned up at every location, "It will be impossible to move throughout Hyrule". In this way, they would force players to follow a mechanism similar to that of the previous game in order to have access to everyone who opens up to them in the sequel.
This map restriction will not be too limiting since, as he explains, "The locations have been worked with much more depth than in the original", something that quite fits with other recent BotW 2 rumors. There is talk of the presence of dungeons "Heavily inspired by a game that knows a lot about handing out dungeons in an open world" Y also from the influence of Red Dead Redemption II, source of inspiration for the team.
Whether this information is true or not, there is less and less to find out. Nintendo will show more of the supposed Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 throughout 2020, finally being able to clear the many doubts surrounding the game.
Will Zelda be playable in Breath of the Wild 2?
Of all the conversations and debates that have taken place around this future launch of Switch, the one that has gained the most strength everywhere has been that of the possibility of managing Zelda. This option, which has already been mentioned in a few rumors of the title, seems that it will be more likely this time, since it has been highly demanded by players after the release of the first Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
There are also clues that point to it. In the teaser of the past E3, a redesign of the princess was shown, we understand that she now reigns, with short hair and with a lot of presence during the footage. Maybe Nintendo will change its appearance and, above all, its hair, to make it easier to adapt to the game mechanics. Although that question is another that will remain in the air until they take the step.
