This has led many to believe it's still a ways off, and this may be a case, but according to a new report, it's actually not super far away, and it would be even closer if not for the pandemic. According to prominent Nintendo insider, Zippo , the development of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 has been more impacted by the pandemic than any other Nintendo game. Despite this, the game is reportedly "nearing completion. The game needs a bit more time, and with the last year in mind, that's entirely understandable.
Dark Cloud's inclusion of city-building elements stands out. Towns are initially a blank slate, and players discover townsfolk and buildings while exploring dungeons. Elements can be placed in settlements as players see fit, and NPCs gradually inhabit each area.
A modernized port was made available digitally on the Playstation Store for Playstation 4, and it is also compatible with Playstation 5. Those who played it back then enjoyed the Zelda-inspired adventure with a sci-fi theme.
It was eventually made available on the Xbox One console and PCs as well. The HD release brought the game into the modern era, with improved visuals and features. Those who are unfamiliar with this game may wish to give it a try. It's an excellent experience that many players simply overlooked.
Take the traditional 2D Zelda formula, and downplay the puzzle aspect, and you've got Hyper Light Drifter. Its world is an interesting mix of fantasy and sci-fi elements, and the challenge level of the game is nothing to sneeze at. Just like many Zelda-inspired adventures, players can expect items, dungeons, bosses, and plenty of secrets. It's available to play on many modern platforms. For anyone who loved the sequences in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess where players get to control Wolf Link, Okami offers more of that sort of feeling.
Even Zelda fans who aren't partial to that particular entry though can find something to enjoy, as Okami is very much a Zelda-inspired title throughout. Okami's visuals are striking, but there's a great game experience to be had here too. The original version was released back on the Playstation 2 and the Wii, but a modernized HD remaster made it to a wide variety of platforms.

By Jonathan Hawkins Published Jul 26, That said, the second half of the year lines up with the recent reports that Breath of the Wild 2 could be looking at a November release. Adding to this, SamusHunter also tweeted to suggest that we could see some new Legend of Zelda Amiibo launch in fall, noting that these release windows could indicate "possible launch periods of the associated games".
As it is, we should take all of this with a pinch of salt until Nintendo makes an official release date confirmation. IGN co-founder Peer Schneider made an interesting comment during the st episode of the gaming website's Nintendo Voice Chat podcast. On the topic of a lack of open world games coming to Nintendo Switch, Schneider stated that could change "next November when we're playing Breath of the Wild 2," potentially signalling a late release for the game.
However, we'd recommend taking the comment with a pinch of salt. Nintendo has confirmed that Breath of the Wild 2 is currently on track for a release window, and a release around the holidays of that year seems realistic. Three recent patents filed by Nintendo could give us an insight into the gameplay mechanics of Breath of the Wild 2. Finally, there's a third patent. The trailer appears to show something similar to this at around the 50 second mark, where Link travels through the underside of a stone bridge to appear on top.
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. 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.
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. However, whereas Majora's Mask reused lots of assets, Trinen wanted to make it clear that this is indeed a true sequel. A new Breath of the Wild 2 fan theory is suggesting that Ganondorf could be a playable character in segments of the game.
Barrett Courtney of Kinda Funny via GameSpot has suggested that the Link we got a glimpse of in the new E3 trailer is actually Ganondorf and that part of the game will involve players exploring the fall of Ganondorf. Incidentally, Demise is one of the main antagonists of Skyward Sword, which is to be re-released on Switch later this year.
Nintendo revealed to IGN that it's holding back on revealing the official full title of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 because it could give away some of what's going to happen in the game.
Trinen didn't indicate when Nintendo is planning to reveal the full title but it's likely that won't be until closer to the game's release. Development is proceeding smoothly and we should be able to bring you some information this year. We now have a release date thanks to E3 , of course, but that doesn't mean we don't hear more before is over.
Set years before the original game, it has Link, Zelda and friends including the four Champions, who will be playable for the first time battle hordes of enemies in Hyrule before it was destroyed in the Great Calamity. While it was exciting to have the chance to return to Hyrule in , the release of this prequel did suggest it could be another while before we hear anything more about a sequel.
In revealing Age of Calamity, series producer Eiji Aonuma acknowledged the relative lack of news for Breath of the Wild 2 and said:. Could Switch Pro rumors offer Breath of the Wild 2 hints?
There have been numerous reports that there's a Nintendo Switch Pro in the works for a release date. Reports of the new console come from the Economic Daily News and Bloomberg both of which suggest a more powerful Nintendo Switch console with upgraded interactivity and improved display quality could be coming next year. Along with these hardware upgrades, Bloomberg also suggests that Nintendo has a bunch of new games up its sleeve to launch alongside the console.
Given the original Breath of the Wild launched with the original Nintendo Switch back in , launching Breath of the Wild 2 alongside a more advanced iteration of the console would be some nice symmetry. We now know, of course, that Nintendo is planning to release the Nintendo Switch OLED in October which has an improved screen but no greater degree of power, putting some doubt on these rumors. However, an analyst has suggested another console could still come down the line.
Voice acting misunderstanding In a sign of just how much fans are looking for news on Breath of the Wild 2, an interview with the voice actors behind the Spanish dubs of Zelda and Revali in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Spanish podcast A Coffee with Nintendo was seized upon and caused some controversy via IGN.
In the interview it seemed to be suggested that the voice actors had finished their work on BOTW 2, leading fans to think that the game might be further along in its development than originally thought.
