Everything we know:
>direct sequel to the ending of BotW (Link starts with the Master Sword)
>resurrection of Ganondorf, not just Ganon/Demise
>set in the same Hyrule as the first game
>Zelda not 100% confirmed but heavily hinted to be playable (possible co-op multiplayer hinted by Aounuma)
>darker than Majora's Mask in tone but not related
>new gameplay elements, likely related to Link's arm
>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
>possibly more in-depth customization (Link is wearing hylian armor over the Champion's Tunic)
>new rideable animals (pack animal Zelda is riding was never seen in the first game)
>strong indication classic-styled dungeons will be returning
Anything else? I'm guessing since they are reusing a lot of assets and the same world they are going to add a bunch of cut-content they were planning to add from their GDC concept art talk years back.

>Have to buy a sequel just to get a satisfying conclusion to BoTW
Get fucked, guess it's okay when Nintendo does it
The hand holding Ganondorf may be a light spirit.
Monolith also has this concept art, for what it's worth
10,000 years ago, the hero defeated Calamity and Zelda sealed him. 100 years ago (9,900 years after being sealed) Calamity returned, defeated BoTW Link and forced BoTW Zelda to hold him back until Link revived 100 years later
my story predictions:
this ancient seal involves trapping Calamity inside someone's body. current Zelda didn't know about this, but ancient Zelda did. The corpse inside the cave (which is under Hyrule's Castle) is Ganondorf, and we can even spot him painted in the cavern walls (man with long hair riding a horse, holding a trident). there's some forgotten history related to those events 10,000 years ago, as there was another person involved during that fight against Calamity who was sacrificed. We see that the corpse was left there underground to rot while holding Calamity, until it could no longer hold him 100 years ago. the hand holding the corpse is either the hand of the ancient hero or ancient Zelda, and it's what holds the seal.
after Link defeated Calamity at the end of BoTW, his energy found it's way underground and began seeping back into the corpse. this caused some disturbanced which invited Zelda and Link to investigate the underground below the castle, and this is where the story of this sequel begins. somehow their presence there triggered the corpse to awake. it seems to me that Link will lose his arm which will be replaced by the seal arm (as a way to integrate that scrapped concept) and this will break the seal for good. The castle will float on the sky (another scrapped concept) and Ganondorf will be the big bad.
I'd like to believe that the hole left by the castle will open up what will actually be the playable map of the game, an underground series of caves and dungeons, where you'll uncover all kinds of secrets left behind by those ancient times 10,000 years ago
no clue what Zelda's role will be in this story, but I don't doubt she'll be playable as Nintendo is well aware of the fan requests in that regard
I've been burned by too many bad Zeldas as of late. Other than A Link Between Worlds the last good Zelda was maybe Twilight Princess and even then, it had problems. After the shitshow that was BotW Zelda games fall into the category of "wait for it to come out before buying."
incredible, do you think it will have more than 5 enemy types this time? Maybe even one that fights back!
Majora's Mask was not creepy, it was eerie. It had a tone that they will never manage to pull off without Koizumi.
I hope we actually get to see Link and Zelda meeting the new champions and restoring the kingdom as the game goes on. I was disappointed that didn't happen in the Champion's Ballad
>Another "Style perfection" Zelda sequel
Awesome. Worked for 1->3, OoT ->MM, so there's a good chance this'll be great.
Don't you have a Cyberpunk or an Elden Rune thread to shitpost in
Is there any confirmation yet that they took the guy that added weapon durability and tied him to a tree and flogged him for 12 hours straight?
>resurrection of Ganondorf, not just Ganon/Demise
how do we know this?
I didn't play it, but Red Dead 2 has some camps where you can see your crew hanging out, right? maybe we'll be able to visit the place where Link and Zelda are camped, and we'll see the other character doing all kinds of stuff in there. this would be cool with the possiblity to change characters, as when you're playing with Zelda you'd see Link, and vice-versa
maybe you'll even gather more allies for your mission (like the Champions, for example) and they'll also show up in the camp and interact with one another
>After the shitshow that was the best game released this decade
bad opinion
so this is just BotW with 7 or so placed dungeons, with the same exact set pieces as the old game
how is this a sequel again
It's not hard to gather weapons, or are you just shit at videogames?
>Set up Ganondorf as the main villain
>He's being controlled by Zant
>It's all one big keikaku in revenge for Twilight Princess
>new rideable animals (pack animal Zelda is riding was never seen in the first game)
Wasn't it a water buffalo? The bulls we have in south Hyrule.
>>strong indication classic-styled dungeons will be returning
We don't know this
the hand is Fi, which is why you hear Fi's singing in the trailer. In the true ending zelda mentions she can't hear the voice in the sword (i.e. Fi) anymore. Fi is gone and is holding ganondorf in check now that Zelda isn't. Pig form ganon was simply a decoy which is why it was so piss easy, and zelda and link were too dumb to realize it.
>new rideable animals
I wish we could ride Zelda too.
Hopefully the game will be less cinematic this time around. I hated being forced to do most of the sidequests in one exactly specific way because the plot demanded it.
I dunno user, you tell me.
I'm glad they are doing it on the same setting. These designs are too good to toss away.
I would like to see the geography of the map extended vertically. I approached the canyon from BotW from above, it was really nice jumping down to see that there was stuff there. I hope that some kind of cataclysm happens and there are lots of canyons, caves, new mountains and shit. It would be a great way to keep the general geography of this Hyrule intact while adding new interesting stuff. It would also be cool if they took some generic lakes and shit like that and turned them into unique locations, like that lake with giant flowers. Maybe something to do with them being corrupted.
I would be so fucking mad
>confuses tedious crap with difficulty
Retard
Zant can't control shit. If anything Zant and Midna/Hilda will show up and everyone is controlled by Ganondorf.
Yaya Aunouma, you did it again
you forgot
>no sign of Sheikah technology bullshit
>Link's glowing arm may point to magic returning
>prosthetics already run into the ground
are we sure this is zelda related?
Do we even know where in the timeline BOTW is?
wot
>Get new weapon
>Love the moveset
>Kill 2.5 enemies
>It's gone.
This is fun for you.
Apparently everyone thinks it is.
It's monolith soft no?
They better not litter the game with koroks and same enemies over again.
if we don't get a new map there's no point. my guess is you are transported to a new world.
>>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
there is no confirmation that RDR will inspire this game in any way.
Vaati or bust
>Zant can't control shit
Obviously that's why he needed milennia to grow stronger
Isn't it supposed to be dead last?
People think BOTW 2 will change directions dramatically from the first when it was praised as one of the best games of all time and criticism was usually hidden on forums and were in general an overwhelming minority. This will be a refinement of what they set to achieve initially. This means exploration and freedom will still be the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th concern. I wouldn't hold your breath on dungeons becoming a focal point again. The changes will only be refinements, meaning more freedom, more customization, and maybe more content in the world.
>No Onyx and Veran
>Everything we know:
FTFY
That was used for a different game.
It is at the point where the timeline combines into one.
it could be related to something totally separate, monolith makes other games as well and a lot of concept art doesn't even end up being for a finished product, much less represent one. either way i'm on board for link fighting dragons.
I fucking love the tone of the trailer. It's actually a bit unnerving. Zelda is at it's best when it's a little spooky. Like Ikana canyon is majora's mask
>set in the same Hyrule as the first game
Do we really know this?
We don't. We know it's dead last in whatever timeline it takes place though, and chances are it's either a unified timeline or the Fallen Hero timeline.
Yes, I too hated how the plot forced me to take all my ancient arrows and massacre the Yiga Clan.
>armless Link
This would've been considered edgy in the past, why is everyone up for it now?
I have waited for so many fucking years. About time Ganondorf makes a return.
Yes, confirmed by Aonouma in an interview
Oh God I hope in this one Link can finally get laid with Zelda. Common guys, now there will be no excuse for Link to not become Hyrule's King.
Hyrule Dark World
I know you're being a pissant, but let me ask you this: why doesn't the game allow me to tackle toe divine beasts in any way I want? Why can't I fight Vah Naboris without the gerudo bitch? Why can't I jump onto Vah Ruto without the retarded fishman? Why couldn't I just shoot myself from a cannon into Vah Rudania? What happened to that freedom you so proudly flaunted?
It depends on the execution and portrayal. That art doesn't seem edgy to me.
I don't recall where I read/heard it, but what I'm leaning towards is that Ganondorf can't be resurrected if he isn't dead.
So basically he's been on life support for the last X amount years, and the seal/support/whatever is either weakening or isn't enough on it's own allowing the malice to leak out, resulting in the "Every X Years" calamity manifestation.
>Trailer has a heartbeat that speeds up over time
>Corpse/Mummy is clearly Ganondorf
>Music/Voice in trailer is possibly a take on the Game Over music from Zelda 1
Fuck off with that shit. Link is and has always been too good for Zelda, especially BotW Zelda.
>ign.com
all this says is some of the younger staff were playing it, Aonuma wouldn't know whether it inspired them or not and didn't pretend to. Now post and archive link next time, faggot
What game? Sorry for the skepticism, but I've seen OP try and go for shenanigans where he just flat out lies about "leaked plot details", edits archived posts, etc.
What do you think the arm will do?
Allow him to grapple to points of interest and utilize specialized tools.
>MUST...NOT...FAP
That image was used to advertise a job board on the Monolith soft website, It was used for a non-xenoblade project action rpg.
We don't know what it is yet since they haven't said anything. But to give you a reference they started hiring for Breath of the Wild 2 last summer tagged with an explicit Zelda image and description.
The two projects are separate.
Replace the sheikah slate, for sure.
before ganon became misunderstood and slandered
>Cute
>Same race as protagonist
>Royal Blood
>Actual feminine personality, will be subservient wife and a loving mother
What are you talking about? There are few better waifus than Zelda in vydia.
it is when you make one of the best games of all time
Punishing him for spanking that royal arse.
I'm guessing it'll replace the sheikah slate as your go to power up. Only it will be spread over the whole game rather then giving you everything at the start
>That image was used to advertise a job board on the Monolith soft website, It was used for a non-xenoblade project action rpg.
>We don't know what it is yet since they haven't said anything.
And here I was expecting an actual game title, and not just empty equivocating.
>the two projects are separate
Prove it. Actually, yeah, we should ask some game journalist to get Monolith to say that the concept image isn't related to Zelda.
>Ganondorf
>round ears
fuck off pleb.
also that's clearly Fi's song
Not in the child timeline since it references events that never happened in the child timeline. Or it could be in the child timeline and they literally just don't care.
I just want playable Zelda following you around/playable Zelda.
I'll use this as an adventuring with my waifu simulator I always wanted.
WHAT move set?
sword=4 hit combo
axe/hammer=2 (or3) hit combo
spear=pokes in a straight line
there is no move set, stop talking shit
Oh wait a second.
Sakurai you hack
they literally just don't care. Aonuma has already said BOTW is a reboot of the series which had gotten too stale.
>love the moveset
user, there's like 3 movesets
>There are few better waifus than Zelda in vydia.
Zelda has never been the best girl in her own game par Spirit Tracks. Midna is the best girl in Zelda and continues to this day.
>Sequels only exist to tie up the plot
>Plot in a fucking zelda game
Will Yuzu Emulator be ready to emulate it release? 2~3 years should be enough for make the emulator better
Twilight Princess 2 when?
>subservient
>he didn't play the game
Literally her complaining because she doesn't want to be the weak shitter that she is.
I just hope the Master Sword, the most powerful blade in the game universe, is as durable as those cardboard rolls when you use all your Christmas wrapping paper. Nintendo really nailed it with that choice
>Zelda gets kidnapped 1/3 of the way through
>Next 1/3 has you adventuring with Midna
>Final 1/3 has both fighting over who loves you more
>Zelda
>Subservient
lol?
>that pic
so he just becomes megaman and uses that arm space to use different tools, seems like a good idea at first considering how much darker it is than previous Zelda games, but still seems kinda lame and unneeded?
Are you actually retarded?
They already admitted to be working on Breath of the Wild 2 last summer before the announcement.
The website had 3 job postings at the same time, A new Xeno project, a new action RPG based on new IP (That's the image with the sword lady), and a new Zelda project.
They had those 3 up at the same time.
Why would they have two separate job listings for the same project, use your head you retard.
After we get Wind Waker the Remake.
Aonuma said to expect more DLC this time. I think it is a good way to populate a big open world.
no way right on release. Maybe a month or 2 after though, given CEMUs pace anyways
How much will we bet that some elements from your BOTW save will be brought over, i.e. your house or Tarry town? Or those side quests considered complete so then in the new game you could go back to your house or visit Tarry Town?
Also how much will we bet that Akkala Tower will actually be explorable this time?
Say, that stone platform the undead thing is lying on looks an awful lot like the final fight for WW.
And the giant hole in its skull.
What if it's a prequel and the reason Zelda has short hair is because it hasn't grown yet?
Be an excuse for us to get all sorts of cool S̶h̶i̶n̶o̶b̶i̶ ̶T̶o̶o̶l̶s̶ Sheikah Tools.
>scars from the fingers stabbed into his chest
is he Kenshiro now?
Can we stop with the rdr2 bullshit?
If it's the same map, I hope they have something where Link and Zelda go around and do things to re-establish the kingdom. Like maybe help establish trade routes between villages, assist the leaders like Riju and Sidon in various matters in their towns, or recruit people to rebuild old settlements in Hyrule. It would be neat to have BOTW be about the downfall of Hyrule while the sequel is about re-building, and would help change parts of the map as the game goes on so it doesn't feel exactly the same
It can't be a prequel because Hyrule Castle wasn't floating in the sky in BotW.
>BotW with real dungeons
Bueno. Now if they just do away with weapon breakage bullshit they'll be sitting on the true, unironic GoAT.
perfect
>they occasionally banter
Wrong hack, user
Bokoblin Breaker
>grapple enemies and slam them
>use it for platforming
>access a super mode when you put the master sword in it
>implying Midna would fall for a twink fag like BotW Link
This is gonna be a rip off of ys origin with zelda instead of the goddesses. hyrule castle won’t just float, it'll be supported by a massive tower. easy way to provide new ground to cover and dungeons
Could've gone back down
Lift Zelda in bride position
it won't be explorable. it was just a fort. the area under hyrule castle takes you to lorule, so they ca mostly use the old map but change it up a bit so it isn't entirely a clone.
what does keikaku mean?
>Demise and his stupid SS lore shit goes away with Calamity Ganon
>we get cool WW Punished Dorf again
Sounds great, can't wait for Aonuma to fuck it all up.
It means go back to twitter
>do away with weapon breakage bullshit
links new arm powers down after 4 hits, and he can't do anything until it recovers. but the weapon don't break, so you plebs will surely be happy.
Keikaku means plan
Link already has a wife.
(keikaku means plan)
and then toss her over a cliff to free them all from Hylia's tyranny.
Man I wish they would make a Zelda where Link is the bad guy for once.
The tapestry isn't Link fighting the Calamity, but Ganon being the hero for once.
t. Harada
In this shot you can clearly see he took off his glove and rolled up the sleeve on the now glowing arm. He was expecting this
>Fi starts talking to Link regularly and becomes another sidekick with Zelda
>also Ganon's evil tore open a hole to the twilight dimension and Midna hopped through to close it up/check out what's been happening for the past thousands of years
>Midna tries to ride champ Link because she confused him with her Link
>entire game is waifus fighting over you
I honestly can't get people who call themselves fans of the franchise and don't ship these two.
>plebs
Bitch I don't hate it because it made the game hard, I hate it because it was annoying changing weapons so often and it added literally nothing to the game. Also made finding a cool, unique weapon far less rewarding than it could have been.
>Final upgrade to link's magic hand allows you to fist all of them at once
I'm assuming the arm powers won't just be the same as the Sheikah Slate's
Maybe he doesn't use traditional weapons entirely considering it's his sword arm that gets possessed in the trailer
>a new action RPG based on new IP (That's the image with the sword lady)
Oh, just give me a link saying it's a new IP and our quarrel will be settled.
ya dude. What was his last game? TP?
It looks like his skin is fragmentimg off.
I honestly can't get people who call themselves fans of the franchise and ship these two after SS.
I like the idea of a damaged or corrupted Link. He's not the same all powerful hero he once was. Now he is forced to scale back and rely on new, creative ways to traverse the landscape. Zelda will come into play here as a secondary playable character.
My headcanon is the closest any Link's come to romantic attraction is ___Navi___
>Calamity ganon being a mostly smoke entity was a result of the real ganondorf being fucking sealed by bullshit sheika magic instead of the usual light magic
>And link just unsealed the fucker.
This feels more like an expansion, desu. Nintendo is literally reusing the same map for the game. It feels dishonest to call it a sequel. This is the shit that we should get instead of that $20 Hard Mode and motorbike DLC turds.
Yup
That's more than 13 years.
Yeah, the spirit arm might have to destroy his arm to replace it, which is pretty metal
Make BotW Link lefthanded as god inteded.
There's better ingame waifus than Zelda like Malon, Marin, Midna...
Part of the plot will be Link trying to hide how he is slowly being corrupted by the darkness that has overtaken his arm. Think Frodo being corrupted overtime by the Ring. Zelda will eventually have to step in and play the role of Sam.
>set in the same Hyrule as the first game
Welp. Thats gonna be a hard pass for me then.
I thought it could be like Majora where they go to a alternative Hyrule or whatever, but the same fucking map AGAIN?
Nope. I will check out videos about new lore elements and thats it.
>filling a zelda game with shitty cringe romance
How about no
fuck destiny and fuck the triforce
All we know is that's Ganondorf's corpse 100%. Anyone who thinks it's Demise is an absolute fucking retard. Even if you've only played Skyward Sword you should know.
Precious makizushi roll, too beautiful for this world, too pure
You want Link to fuck the bones of a dead fish?
Why did they have to make BotW Link such a androgynous fag? Was TP Link too masculine for Aonuma?
I skipped out on BotW because of the lack of dungeons, this sounds like it'll be exactly what wanted from the original.
Did anyone ask Anouma when exactly this game started development?
So no news on weapon durability?
Ideally I would want it gone for good but I think as an acceptable compromise I could live with it if the master sword constantly recharged slowly over time instead of having to completely break it before it starts recharging.

monolithsoft.co.jp
This is the recruit page, look at the bottom row.
It's the Zelda project and the new IP.
Separate postings.
based
Literally none of that is confirmed, people are pulling things out their ass. All we know is Ganondorf's corpse comes alive and Hyrule Castle starts to float.
If this is darker than Majora's Mask, it really makes me wonder how they're gonna top the Kafei + Anju quest as well as the events that go on literally just before the moon falls.
They really nailed the feminine rock climber look.
I mean, there are Stalfos, Stalizalfos and Stalmoblins why not Stalzora?
If the traditional Zelda structure gets bolted onto BotW's more experimental ideas in order to make them work better then that could be a really special game but for now I'm wary.
>magical arm becomes a grappling hook, which becomes a core movement and combat mechanic
>bring small enemies and objects to you
>bring yourself to bigger enemies or climbable walls
>swing from ceilings or tree branches
yep, gamekino is back on the menu, boys
I think you westerns simply lost the capacity to ship traditional pairings like a Knight and a Princess.
It must be related to the fact that you hate damsels in distress.
Or maybe it's the fact that you developed weird race-mixing fetiches, so wenever you see a couple of the same race, you think it is boring.
I'm trying but I can't understand you guys.
Make Zelda's hair short to stop it from clipping when you play as her in the new game.

Completely different page with completely different art and style. Nothing indicates it's connected to Zelda, and all the joblistings are also available on Production 01.
There's nothing that connects this to Zelda that can't also connect it to the new Xeno project, and if anything, seems to be an entirely different dev team.
Is the cursed arm from Princess Mononoke.
not him, and i dont mind the durability system at all, but they couldve at least made them much more durable and/or have a blacksmith of some sort to repair your favorite weapons.
and the fact that the mastersword is breakable and and weak as fuck just makes no sense. I get that having an unbreakable mastersword would render the durability system pointless, but fuck.
I only ever see shipping bullshit from Westerners. Namely leafs, yanks, and spics.
I can already see where they are going with this.
That arm is gonna be every tool available from the very start, much like BoTW did.
Which is literally going against everything that makes this series good to begin with.
>I think you westerns simply lost the capacity to ship traditional pairings like a Knight and a Princess.
Nah I think Link and Midna is still the best pairing in the series, and that's a knight and princess paring. Zelda and Link is the most cookie cutter pairing you can think of and soulless too after SS took a giant shit on Link.
the Gerudo symbol all over the corpse' clothing
it was either that or give link pink hair and tattoos and a tablet with twitter on it.
They made it for the modern Japanese man (and western weebs) who have become increasingly effeminate
>implying you won't have to upgrade the arm by doing dungeons.
BotW was concluded. If this sequel never existed, the plot would still be finished. Even as this game's story relates to BotW1, it's still a new story.
i imagine that maybe when hyrule castle arises, it'll make some massive geographical changes. one could hope, ive spent 500 hours in that current state of hyrule
The piece of artwork in isn't necessarily related to the new project. Whenever Monolith starts hiring, they'll draft a piece of artwork specifically for the announcement. Pic related was from a hiring announcement in 2011 and didn't end up directly relating to any project.
Explicit Gerudo symbols everywhere, red hair, and the iconic Ganondorf headpiece.
tapestry hero has blue eyes. It's Link.
It's never too late, user
no one's ever really gone
he's already said that development started right after BOTW was finished. BOTW2 will ship with the new souped-up switch, which accd to the WSJ has started production already in Vietnam. sonyfags and xcucks btfo, sorry about your new next gen nogaem paperweights
Is there any reason to play the original TP over the remaster? I'm finally getting around to playing it and I'm not sure which to go with. Faces do look a little weird in the new one.
The projects are still separate and the image is not linked to the Zelda job posting.
>modern Japanese man (and western weebs) who have become increasingly effeminate
What the fuck happened to stuff like Fist of the North Star and Violence Jack? Does nobody like that anymore?
Every other link looks like a girl compared to the chad STR Link.
No magic meter whatsoever.
Pure STR baby.
I hope there's something new in place of the sheikah tech shit, the sheikah shit was boring. No shrines, no futuristic shit. Just magic, Ganondorf, and his minions like dark nuts. The yiga clan could return too, it will be cooler now that they follow an actual person.
what's OP's picture from?
I'm still reeling in from yesterday. I wanted something new with the BotW engine.
I've seen this concept art before a year ago. That shit's outdated and I'm surprised no one is calling you out on it because it's been posted multiple times.
I want Princess Saki and her legendary knight Sakura.
>>darker than Majora's Mask in tone but not related
that's wrong. read the interview again. he was clearly saying that it would be darker than BotW
How the fuck are people denying that that's either Ganon or Ganondorf?
>wii
>no NGC version
stay pleb
Nah, TP HD is the best version. It runs flawlessly on CEMU as well
>not related to any project
>posts a picture of floating castle as seen from dueling peaks
>what did they mean by this?
TP Link is great, but honestly I love BOTW Link. His style has really grown to be one of my favorites. Fucker took down a shit load of Guardians with only the Master Sword too. Man leaks STR and DEX.
> spend game reviving Ganondorf to essentially seal his hatred/power in a body
> then fuck him up at the end anyway
Please let this be the plot
>Zelda not 100% confirmed but heavily hinted to be playable
source?
>Pig form ganon was simply a decoy
I'm fine with this theory.
>Ganon spirit retreats to body
>Leaves a small trace behind to form giant pig to battle the heroes
>Fight restored Ganon with "oh my spirit nen" injection to restore life
Cia bros...
>Zelda not 100% confirmed but heavily hinted to be playable (possible co-op multiplayer hinted by Aounuma)
Where do you niggers come up with this? She was next to Link in the trailer and that's all.
>Man leaks STR and DEX.
>has to play dressup to get in with gerudos
OoT and TP Link would've fucked their shit up.
>Playable Zelda
Eh.
Also, I question having Link start with the Master Sword. I'd imagine he loses it or it loses its power at the start of the game.
they aren't willing to face up to the awful truth about their beloved timeline.
Short hair
Is the arm on Ganondorf's chest the same arm always asking for toilet paper in the middle of the night?
Both are good boys.
Looks like Breath of the Wild takes place in the Twilight Princess timeline. When we left Ganondorf in Twilight Princess his neck got snapped by Zant. The first instance we see of Ganondorf in over a decade is him snapping his neck back into motion.
Do you think a Q4 2020 release sounds realistic? Since they reuse assets?
Unless Fi, an immortal construct, has suddenly changed her color scheme from blue to green-gold and become a wizened old hag, I very much doubt that.
The hand look much more like it belongs to one of the shrine sages.
If it does have Zelda co-op, I hope it ain't intrusive. I don't want it to fuck up the pacing and force me to constantly switch between characters.
Honestly, I don't really like BotW's Zelda that much, so that possibility that she'd stick to Link like glue and be his mouthpiece like Navi, Tatl and Midna were seems like it could potentially get annoying.
>darker than Majora's Mask in tone but not related
Stop pushing this misquote
We Know too that there Will be nothing to do in the empty shitty World.
Ganonndorf is gonna be a good guy after you beat the hatred out of him, you both team up to fight Demise to end the cycle.
it lost its power at the end of BOTW in the true ending, zelda mentions she can't hear Fi anymore and laughs it off.
I wouldn't call the games completely different in art style, considering it's concept art, but for now I see what you mean.
I do appreciate the higher res image though. Looks like there's ruins in whatever this special project is.
I would be highly surprised if this game doesn't come out by the end of 2020. I could see this coming out before Metroid Prime 4 or Bayo 3 to be honest.
go practice your typing Venom
>zelda mentions she can't hear Fi anymore and laughs it off
Zelda is such a bitch.
>OoT and TP Link would've fucked their shit up
So BOTW is the only gentleman who didn't wanna screw with a tribe of Gerudos that were totally peaceful? Fucker Solid Snake'd his way in there for fun. Got the two main bitches to grave his dick even in a girl's outfit.
Also seems like the protag wears a CROWN and has her EARS COVERED, which really makes me think. Now the question to be asked is "Would Playable Zelda be such a big deal as to have Monolith make her game be a secret project?"
I can understand why you're skeptical. But to me, wackier shit has been done before.
This game looks nice regardless though
Probably not
If they only started development recently then I think we'll get the game in 2021 at the earliest.
What are you talking about? In asia shipping fictional characters is almost a subculture. People sell doujin (I don't mean just hentai) based on this.
>Zelda and Link is the most cookie cutter pairing you can think of and soulless too after SS took a giant shit on Link.
But every new game is different. I don't think they way they fucked up in SS is a good reason to disregard Zelda.
would be pretty cool
i still want link to be the main playable character, but zelda as an option would be awesome
> I DID NOT PLAY THE GAME: The Post
Play BotW dude. Zelda was so pathetic that not even Sakurai could justify putting her into Smash Bros. Literally half the cutscenes were her bitching about being a failure at life and projecting her insecurities on Link. I'd be very surprised if they made her playable in this game cause she made it very clear that she ain't worth shit.
I hate the idea of Zelda getting her own game simply because it will appeal to the feminist crowd and faggots who say there should be a female Link at some point.
And one final point, though perhaps irrelevant - both crown girl with blonde hair and ears covered up and Zelda have green eyes.
Green is the most common of eye colors, though, and blonde chicks are popular.
>I don't think they way they fucked up in SS is a good reason to disregard Zelda.
You also got OoT Zelda who naively sent Link back in time because she wanted him to have a good childhood even though the little guy fought two wars on two fronts and never got anything good out of it considering how fucked things got in TP.
They started development at the end of 2017.
Unless they change up the map and put in a lore reason for doing so, fuck off. I'm not going around that big empty same Hyrule map a second time even if they tack on a new story mode
>Got the two main bitches to grave his dick even in a girl's outfit.
>wanting the worst girls in the game
Gross. Tell me when Riju starts craving the Link and then we'll talk.
>I hate the idea of Zelda getting her own game simply because it will appeal to the feminist crowd and faggots who say there should be a female Link at some point.
Who gives a fuck about what feminists like or don't like? Do you not like Samus because feminists like her?
>Ganondorf is Lord Genome
>Sacrifices the Triforce of Power to wish away Demise
>Last scene has a statue of Ganondorf in the Gerudo town.
To be fair the gerudo imprisoned oot link and pretty much forced him to go full solid snake on them until they chilled out.
deepest lore
Also this calls into question some of what we were told in botw1 like that Ganon gave up on reincarnation. It could be unreliable narrative though, especially after 10k years. Maybe that was just an assumption because no one knew that they also sealed Ganon who in turn is just the manifestation of a curse from the sealed Demise. But if it's really a sealed Ganondorf, I wonder what Fi really has to do with it since she is in an eternal struggle with Demise inside the Master Sword.
TP Zelda and TP Link didn't even interact beyond 2 sentences and the official manga is pushing Midna over her.
If that's the case then 2020/2021 seems like the most optimal release date.
>not the kino ganon and Link having a mutual understanding and maybe even a friendship after trying to break the cycle, only for an ironic twist to put them against eachother anyway.
Riju DOES want his dick. What are you on? What girl in Hyrule doesn't want to ride that boy by the end of the game?
youre reaching REALLY hard. that image has nothing to do with zelda
And yet the two always seem to be hanging out and are doing so at the end.
but... gannondorf is demise...?
She laid eggs. Link just has to seed them to awaken his babies
I simply disagree with this.
>Complaining about being weak
That's why she needs King Link by her side. Of course a woman will complaim about being weak when left with male responabilities on her shoulders.
Guys, It literally doesn't matter how Zelda was portrayed in BofW if they are going to make a direct sequel.
My point is that in they should takes this opportunity to make what should have happened years ago: a solid relationship between her and Link.
I think think BotW2 is a good opportunity to do this, since we will be seeing a direct continuation of an entry in the series.
Didnt that king zell leaker man confirm it was 2020 months ago?
>Same Hyrule
AHAHHAAHHAHAH!!!!!!!
>Do you not like Samus because feminists like her?
No, I don't like her because I played through the first game thinking I was playing with a badass male marine, only to be find out it was a woman the whole time. At the time I thought: Women shouldn't be doing stuff like this.
Literally the only thing that can hype me for this game is either a Termina type of new map or Midna being in it, not just as a DLC thing.
Oh wow the colours of ganon and the mystery nigger are almost identical. That has to be intentional
>REALLY hard
Am I? Blonde haired green eyed girl, who conveniently has her ears covered, who is royalty of some kind in a fantasy setting.
I'm reaching, sure, but I don't think I'm reaching too hard.
Reaching too hard would be "Oh and all this is why BoTW Zelda isn't available as an alt in Smash."
turbo cringe
I give up. That's just sad. I will never acept Link with anyone else other than Zelda.
My God, I want a punished Link so badly. I hope they finally do it with this sequel.
It already looks like it intends to be darker, so that's a good start.
He's just pretending to be retarded?
Link has never been interested in Zelda. It's canon in all games that he does not give a shit about her.
But it's the thruth.
OoT Link totally would have fought all the Gerudo to get in, and not just hide from them in a long stealth section where he'd automatically get captured and thrown in jail if he was seen.
>punished Link
The entirety of BoTW is punished Link. All his friends are dead and the world is a mess. You just want him to have a cool robot arm, which is fine, but say what you mean.
Fuck you, it depends on the title.
OoT LinkxMalon is top tier.
It's kinda vague.
Demise said his hatred will always follow them.
For all we know Calamity ganon/the malice is Demise's hatred and ganondorf just happend to be kinda like soma cruz as in he is the reincarnation, but he still has his own will that doesn't necessarily align with Demise's.

ganondorf is ganondorf. his spirit is the spirit of demise. best they can do is find a way to break the curse which will also end the cycle of rebirth for link and zelda
you are beyond help and talking to you is pointless. youre like the grinchfags but worse since you are pulling shit out of nowhere and latching onto it. you blown the fuck out then, and nobody will care when you get blown out again because that image is unrelated to zelda and nobody but you thinks theyre connected
She's not in Smash because she's a talentless, royal fuck up that killed thousands because of how much she sucked.
She literally kisses him in Zelda 1 and 2
your headcanon is wrong though. link will never be with zelda, ever.
OoT Link wound up with Malon too.
That's an utter dogshit pairing. Please kill yourself.
All I know is I'll finally be able to discuss/comment about this game without with insufferable PCfaggots directing me towards the Cemu "definitive experience".
I'm fucking excited for this, it's probably gonna use better hardware as well (inevitable Switch revision).
Then the franchise will never be complete in my opinion.

Oh ok senpai I gotchu
>Link seems to have gotten killed or kidnap in that cave

he gets with her a couple of times. mostly in the adult timeline with the different iterations of toon link
Only Link is reborn, Zelda is part of a dive bloodline.
Aka the same link gets to fuck his daughters and granddaughters for eternity (in a different unrelated body)
you're retarded and wrong.
Most womens' hairstyles cover their ears, user. It's not convenient when it's the norm.
>all his friends are dead and the world is a mess
Friends he doesn't even remember, punished link is obviously OP's picture. (probable) scarred face obscured by mask, ratty looking clothes, missing arm, unkept hair.
>t. The tasteless man
He canonically never gets with her. In any game. You're delusional if you think your headcanon means anything.
>blown out
You're a bit too emotionally invested in this, user. I'll play and enjoy BoTW 2 no matter who it stars, same as I did BotW 1.
Leakers can suck my dick, I hate those guys
>literally no confirmation about anything past the first greentext
cope
Lmao get over yourself. Zelda/Link sucked ass in BotW, it sucked in SS and it sucked in OoT. Link was made for better girls, red headed girls whose names all happen to start with the letter M.
>WW
what the fuck dude did you just ignore the videos and interviews? how can you be so clueless? like 2 or 3 of those are dumb wish speculation but almost all of it was confirmed in the reveal video
I guess punished Link would be less gay than old Link, but I prefer Link to be upbeat and not fucked up.
Sucks for you then.
I'm with you user. Midna and Mipha and Ruta fags are absolutely degenerate.
>seething cause best girl Malon won the 1998 Linkbowl
kek
literally nothing regarding the contents of the final game was confirmed in the reveal video.
okay
Eh, not really, and definitely not at all times.
>Zelda has never been the best girl in her own game par Spirit Tracks.
Another man of taste.
Since someone mentioned that the landscape may change from the seal being broken, what new monsters could emerge from the calamity? I know there's going to be some undead monsters now. Gibdos, Redeads and Stalfos can make a proper debut. I'm hoping for Aquamentus to appear, but as a non-calamity enemy and more big bosses in general.
466163968 (You)
Do we have a list of all BOTW2 interviews so far?
To each their own. I've wanted a full-out dark Zelda game forever now. I think Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess were just a step into it, but I still want more out of it.
It'll never happen, sadly, but I guess a punished Link would be somewhat possible.
>Mipha and Ruta fags are absolutely degenerate.
Just those, Midnabros stand head above Zeldafags.
Look at the sword here. It's spiraling. Who else has a spiral looking blade? The fierce deity. The Zonai are an ancient war tribe with ruins scattered everywhere across hyrule. They are not the shieka. They created the barbarian armor set in BotW. Take a closer look at the head of this character. What if that isn't the face? What if that is the zonai's barbarian head dress? The head dress has the same red hair and uses skulls for the helmet. What if that's a painted boar skull helmet with fastened red hair or mane? The previous hero may have been a descendant of the zonai tribe. A tribe that may have had links to the power of the fierce deity.
meant riju, whatever the fuck her name was it's pretty much the same as that giant mecha elephant.
m-mommy...
>the only time this pairing was ever good
>it was on the fucking DS
I mean I've seen people argue that that knight was secretly Ganondorf, or a masked beast, or jimmy.
Archaic Ruins are deliberately vague
You already know the new one looks worse, so just play the original. Gamecube original.
>Marin
>Malon
>Midna
>Mipha
Seems the Links have a type.
There’s already a switch emulator capable of playing BotW
Get fucked fag lmao
>All red heads
You are onto something
based
Are you retarded
>direct sequel to the ending of BotW (Link starts with the Master Sword)
Link has the Master Sword and Zelda has short hair, it could only be after BoTW
>resurrection of Ganondorf, not just Ganon/Demise
the corpse in the trailer is Ganondorf, and he's clearly reanimating
>set in the same Hyrule as the first game
the trailer shows the same Hyrule, and Aonuma confirmed in an interview
>Zelda not 100% confirmed but heavily hinted to be playable
agreed, it's only speculation and unconfirmable at the moment
>darker than Majora's Mask in tone but not related
also speculation, as we can't know for sure, but the tone of the trailer is considerably darker than what we usually get with Zelda
>new gameplay elements, likely related to Link's arm
speculation
>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
mentioned by Aonuma in an interview
>possibly more in-depth customization
speculation, agreed
>new rideable animals
the animal in the trailer wasn't present in BoTW, the closest being the water buffalo but not quite the same
>strong indication classic-styled dungeons will be returning
speculation, agreed
Thanks, bro. It's good to know you're not alone.
This game isn't going to be the Majora's Mask to BotW's OOT; it's the Undead Nightmare to BotW's RDR.
>Ganondorf can hold mastersword
>Ganondorf has blue eyes
>Ganondorf defeats himself
Go fuck yourself and all the other faggots that think this is Ganondorf
So it's non-canon?
Fags with no taste.
I blame bara.
>MY ARM
What if the calamity Ganon is not Ganondorf as we know him, but perhaps a new incarnation of demise, given the same name (after the legends)? Perhaps this ancient hero we see here was a Gerudo male other than Ganondorf, and that man is the Mummy in the trailer.
I mean somewhere down the line the triforce might have fucked up who was good and who was bad.
It’s always been Zelda and Link for me, don’t listen to these fags. What’s their deal getting this autistically upset at the canon pairing? Do they want Zelda to be exclusive to their OC or something lmaoooo
>Ganondorf has been trapped in a corpse shell, kept alive by magic but unable to move as his body mummifies around him
>for uncounted THOUSANDS of years
Did he deserve it?
I mean BotW is such mindfuck shit it wouldn't be too out the door.
>Link has the Master Sword and Zelda has short hair, it could only be after BoTW
he has that before botw and there's no guarantee the cutscene actually reflects in-game circumstances
>the corpse in the trailer is Ganondorf, and he's clearly reanimating
it doesn't mean he's being brought back as the main enemy or something it could be a total red herring
we literally know nothing about the game the opening cutscene could be 1000 years in the past when you start the game for all we know. i'm not against speculation you just really should not make a thread saying we 'know' things that you're making up
>canon pairing
Lmao get your ass back to ao3
If you want to be right so bad that you and people like you want to start pulling shit out of thin air, fine. You’ll be disappointed when Nintendo is once again going to give us a neutral and plain Good V Evil story like all the other Zelda games
The grappling hook is gonna play a huge part in this game. It would have been broken for climbing mountains but underground it will be fine.
>not wanting Link to end up with a sexy as fuck tsundere dark sorceress
Why do you hate him?
>BotW 2 is actually about playable hero Ganon stopping an evil dragon
>Link has the Master Sword and Zelda has short hair, it could only be after BoTW
>he has that before botw and there's no guarantee the cutscene actually reflects in-game circumstances
The game can only take place after the events of BotW because Link was appointed knight a few months before the great calamity. He had the master sword at this time, but Zelda also had long hair and she disliked Link until she really cared for him right before she put him in the shrine of resurrection. There is no other point in the timeline where the new game can go other than after.
Sounds like a fucking great experience huh.
Also we know exactly what the group was doing when Calamity Ganon awakened, it was one of the memories. Zelda and Link sure weren't in a cave with a lich.
the way Aonuma answered those questions was genius
he knew exactly what people would wonder in that regard after watching the trailer, and I'm sure he and the team made a few decisions in order to force that thought onto people
>show both characters spelunking together
>make Zelda's hair shorter, so she looks more capable in adventuring/figthting
>give Zelda and Link very similar clothing
I don't know if the game has co-op or playable Zelda, but I'm certain the team wants people to speculate about that
>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
I didn't play RDR2, is this a good thing?
What do women see in Link?
He was a cheeky fuck after BotW's first teaser too.
>I never said that was Link ;3
Link gets the Master Sword when he's appointed to knight status a couple months before Ganon shows up, and Zelda has long hair during both instances. (Plus we see more shit going on between the those two points that make it apparent they're not going on other adventures in between) It's much more believable that it's set afterward, especially considering Hyrule Castle is going airborne in the new trailer and we see no evidence of it being lifted and returned to Earth in BotW. There's no reason to believe it's anything but a sequel.
Right about what? And all Zelda games are about good vs evil, with the Hyrule Family having a repeated history of fucking things up like the King of Red Lions.
...
You can’t fool me, I know you have a folder dedicated to that kinky midget body shit
Doesn’t SS imply they hook up and start Hyrule
Some Links like OoT and TP are Chads who radiate big dick energy. BotW Link is the perfect specimen for testing makeup and girls clothing.
And actually wait we're forgetting Link's Awakening where yes, there are clear bad guys, but the situation is pretty fucked.
In terms of technology, a beautiful and realistic world, well written story/characters, sound design, and arbitrary polish? It's great.
In terms of gameplay, fun, mission/world structure, shoddy menus, shoddy combat, and bullshit that likes to waste your time for "realisticness" sake over game design or fun? It's pretty bad.
fpwp
So wait it's the same map? That is kinda bullshit. I am fine with reused weapon/NPC models but if it is the same map, even with edits, then that's fucking stupid.
Creepy and eerie are more or less the same thing. MM was a horror game, btw.
Here’s my hot take Link will get body swapped with Ganondorfs decrepit body and Zelda will have to save hyrule.
Link (in ganondorfs body) will mentor Zelda so she can beat Ganondorf hopefully reverse the body swap.
Zelda will have to become not just one possessor of a piece of triforce but two. Both courage and wisdom in order to wield the master sword.
After Zelda beats Ganondorf the courage piece of triforce might return to link or link will die in dorfs body in the final battle.
That probably won’t happen but I think it would be pretty cool.
Impfags are just midgetfags who latched on to Imp Midna. Twilichads know that Twili Midna is the peak of Zelda wives.
I agree that TP was the last good Zelda game. BOTW was a good game but had a lot of flaws that Zelda games shouldn’t have such as lacking traditional dungeons, memorable music, interesting bosses, a good story with fleshed out characters, not to mention it’s durability issue.
So if they're being influenced by the former, we're in for a good time, and if the latter, a bad one.
I mean your post is just as valid as literally any other post besides
Same Hyrule (set in the same world), doesn't say the same map. Maybe whatever's going on with the castle will change the map in some way, or maybe it's like the opening to MM where you start in Hyrule and immediately fuck off to another world, via flying castle this time.
The BEST possible Story is that Ganondorf is incredibly weakened, reliant on his magic and minions, and trying to pursue the Triforce or some other macguffin to restore his youth and power, and Link and Zelda need to stop it, like King Piccolo from Dragon Ball.
Then at the very end he succeeds.
>(possible co-op multiplayer hinted by Aounuma)
I haven't heard of this.
>>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
>highly influenced
Some younger members of the dev team played it. Read past headlines.
>TP came out 13 years ago
Kill me.
Wrong.
t. Ganondorf
Maybe, but it sounds like its the same base map.
It makes me picture it being a 'dark' world version or something similar with the same geography in most places but maybe a crater added somewhere and spooky clouds.
Aonuma's words were:
>“One of the reasons we wanted to create a continuation was because I wanted to revisit that Hyrule again and use that world again, while incorporating new gameplay and new story”
he doesn't straight up say it'll be the same map, but implies that the game will happen in the same Hyrule as the first game
we don't know how changed the map will be (maybe it'll be completely destroyed or something), or maybe the game could happen in underground ruins below Hyrule instead of the surface
imagine the deformed inter-species mutt babies
What if the land under this Hyrule is the destroyed/sunken Hyrule from WW?
The mummy in the trailer has round ears.
There is no way they would be that coherent/obvious with the time line.
Same bro, had they not shown Ganondorf in the trailer I don't think I would have been nearly as excited about the sequel.
Man, I want them to bring her back somehow, even if it's an asspull.
>Dark World starts to merge with Hyrule
>Twilight Realm starts seeping in
>Lorule invasion
>deformed inter-species mutt
But enough about Princess Zelda, will BotW 2 get another 97 like the first?
All I want is Classic Dungeons and Playable Zelda as a bonus. Literally do away with the shitty shrines, and give the game a bit of structure and content, and it's GOAT
You're forgetting Medli
>Wasn't it a water buffalo? The bulls we have in south Hyrule.
No. It's not the same. The water buffalo thing from the first game looks similar in color but the body shape is completely different.
She's dead, Jim. You gotta let go.
Anyone else want it to filp and you get to play as Ganondorf instead of Link or Zelda?
That would be so cool the best part of hyrule warriors was the dorf campaign.
Well yeah, they'll do something fucky like have a rabid population of Tingles down there too.
>imagine the deformed inter-species mutt
Leave Zelda alone.
same for me
I hope he gets some skin lotion and a meal or two, I don't him to stay as a grey corpse for the entire game
Yeah but her ghost is still around in that giant mech and seems to be corporal. go fuck that ghost my man
You mean like Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke?
I’m just trying to say that interpreting the character holding the sword in the mural as being Ganondorf is such a stretch for Zelda that people just accepting that now years after the game came out when the direct sequel was not planned is ridiculous. If it’s a retcon, fine. Would it be cool? Super cool. But until it’s offialy stated that Ganondorf was a hero 10k years ago I can’t help but roll my eyes into oblivion when people speculate this shit.
No Link who uses m*gic is a chad
Just magic her back somehow, man! That said, I'd at the very least like some other Zora QT as a major character.
We need more side characters...I got fucking baited with the Champions.
>Ganon redemption arc
>Hyrule is against Ganon for obvious reasons
>Game is about him saving a world that wants nothing to do with him
>Final battle against Fierce Deity Link
>playable Ganondorf, underground spelunking with Dark Souls combat
fuck yes for a spin off, but not for a mainline Zelda
a woman drew this
So?
Ganondorf was originally depicted with rounded ears. However there has been some occasions where he had pointed ears, such as WW.
It's something that doesn't appear to follow a set design.
Given his history and supposed place in the timeline? Not really. Execution would be more than fitting.
Given the fact that he will return either way? He's on an endless cycle of death and destruction, so I suppose it's an option.
Karasuki
Okay, but what does she have to do with best girl Midna?
That's literally all I want.
That isnt the master sword in the tapestry though - it's clearly a leaf shaped sword, the master sword is straight sided.
If Dorf was still lurking around in the basement of Hyrule Castle, why did the mastersword turn off after killing Calamity? There was still work to be done. Fi is a useless bitch.
There's Sidon. How much cuter can it get?
>>dev team is highly influenced by/currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2
Annnnnd fucking dropped. RIP Zelda.
>I'm guessing since they are reusing a lot of assets and the same world
I still don't think they're gonna have the same overworld, that would be truly awful
How will she react to seeing Link with Zelda?
>Triforce team up vs aliens
All they need to do is add some real dungeons and remove weapons durability and it will be GOTY
My headcanon
>10000 years ago a reincarnation of ganondorf
>Broke the fourswords seal
>Then a Zelda sealed the two as they we're merging
Are we ever going to get a new main entry with shota Link?
The threat was apparently neutralized.
It would seem that Zelda & Link disrupted that while investigating the source of malice.
But zelda cant hear fi's voice in the sword in the BOTW true ending. If Fi isnt in there anymore, maybe Demise isnt either....
Holy fuck you retards are something else. And look at all those photorealistic depictions of the Walker Scouts and Zelda and Ganon, they all look exactly like they are supposed too! Only Link looks different! Fuck you
I just hope Ganondorf/Twinrova isn't the only ReDead that we get to fight.
Bro, BotW was influenced by Skyrim.
I'm not gay, though.
The lack of /ss/ Sidon is a crime
This. I hated BotW, but I will suck this game's dick if they give me that much.

Fuck off. Even Dead Rising did the breakable weapon system better than fucking BotW.
I just kinda jumped into this discussion, I'm more speculating about Monolith's "Special Project" starring Not!Zelda.
The best argument against Ganondorf being mural lad is that mural lad is left handed(like Link). Ganondorf is right handed.
to distract you from her feminine penis
I'm a little disappointed that the badguy is going to be Ganondorf.
I’m not good with lore and theories but to me this looks like the final moment of a clash between Ganondorf and a highly powerful elder sage who was strong enough to stop him, but not fully survive the outcome.
that's fucking reaching
We all agree that this is Twilight Princesses Ganondorf corpse right?
Also, if you play the trailer in reverse, around the 00:40 second mark you can hear "Help us... Please..."
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT ARC-V

Link hasn't been left handed in a long time. BOTW2 isnt a 2d game.
Like... bird people, or something
Unfortunately BotW Link is right handed, but it’s entirely possible and very justifiable to assume 10k Link is left handed
BoTW Link is a righty, nothing is stopping BoTW Ganondorf from being a lefty
It's the corpse of Ganondorf, but it's probably an archetypical Ganondorf the same way Link, Zelda and Ganon were their platonic ideals without being from a specific timeline.
>the game contains Ganondorf
>the game will be darker than Majora's
>probably a little bit more cinematic
>they will probably fix all the flaws from BoTW
yep, I'm thinking this is the game of the 2020's decade
TP Dorf's head ornament looked different and the the earrings are very different.
yeah but why is his skin grey instead of dark brown if he was truly Ganondorf? even the sheikah monks are dark brown colored
Am I wrong for wanting to play 10k zelda with armies of guardians on my side in a boss fight against kaiju ganon?
at least show me there's something on the spoon user
I want to fuck this fish and fertilize her eggs, if you know what I mean
Yeah, and in Link's memories he's a righty too.
fuck off. durability is a good mechanic for breath of the wild and makes surviving fun and immersive. it also reminds me of goblin slayer. If you cant handle weapons breaking then you just arent good at video games.
Yeah I gotta agree with this guy, the systen was annoying. I would honestly be willing to deal with it, if they at least gave us a basic attack to defend ourselves with if you run out of weapons.
He's a lich.
Not at all as long as it would be an RTS
Basically. It's been stated that it's always the same Ganon. Only Link/Zelda are reincarnated.
It's likely the TP branch of the timeline.
Why is medli on his amulet?
It wouldn't have been so bad it if they made weapon switching real time, which I'm convinced they were originally going to do on the Wii U gamepad before they had to shelve that due to moving to Switch
The weapons only break because they can't handle the fucking ridiculous power of Link's skull-crushing swings for more than a few hits.
BoTW isnt part of the timeline. Zelda is not a documentary of events. The Batman and Detective Batman and The Dark Knight Batman all exist in their own universes and timelines.
Wait really? How does Ganon go from maniacal to calculated and back then? Like in Four Swords Adventures and BotW Ganon is pure evil but in LttP, Original, and AoL he seems smart and shit
It's possible that it isn't, considering that flash on the wall depicting whatever sealed him there. He may even take on Rohan's exposition role, just with a "lol you woke it up now you're both fucked" twist instead of pleading
Shark was great.
I have softspot for imoutoman in Arc-V, but that show did everyone dirty.
>fuck this fish
That's not how you fertilise fish eggs
>inb4 bukkake zelda
the game practically writes itself
>darker than Majora's Mask
This is wrong, learn to read.
OP is full of shit. Get your facts straight before you start a thread faggot.
Because he's a rotting corpse. He's been down there for who knows how long
Sometimes it's just that time of the month
Because Skyward Sword and BotW did so well despite one having no Ganondorf and the other having the worst Ganon boss in the history of Zelda games.
He does. And he clearly isnt happy about it.
>wondered why hero who beat calamity ganon had read hair
>here theory it was ganondorf vs calimty demise and dorf was originally a hero
I CAN BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT WOULD BE A COOL AS SPIN ON ZELDA LORE,RIGHT?!
Basically FFXV on the zelda series where the antagonist was once a protagonist betrayed be his own people
>implying you can't both fuck her and fertilize her eggs
>implying you can't fuck her in the fish cloaca and then afterward let her plop out the eggs before having her handjob your sperm out onto the eggs
I agree, but I wouldn't mind AT ALL if he didn't. Lich King Ganondorf sounds sexy as fuck.
Devil bringer
that is a very generous interpretation of those noises
>cloaca
>out hole
user...
I dunno, fighting a creepy mummy Ganon could be pretty sweet at least as a first stage
Zelda canon and Batman ganon are equally as messy as one another.
Essentially a botched resurrection in the Downfall timeline, in the events of Oracle/Seasons, he becomes a mindless beast after Twinrova is unable to sacrifice Zelda for the process - Leading to sacrifice her(them)selves.
>link loses his arm and has to use new GANON BREAKERS to fight
Depends. People have been crazy for the idea of a more sympathetic humanized ganondorf since WW. If they actually delivered that it would be great.
I don't think they will though
>almost hitting bump limit
My thread is doing iron man numbers while you're seething behind a computer screen. Have sex incel
TP is nowhere nearly as good as BotW, even if you think BotW was disappointing. TP's dungeons were all style over substance, its overworld was absolute ass, its difficulty didn't exist, it had barely any sidequests and contained probably one of the worst opening segments in the entire franchise.
Where is the triforce?
>Metallica t-shirt on Ganondorf
It looks cool but the fact it's ganondorf again is incredibly boring.
Zelda needs to flesh out it's existing concepts and lore more. Like what the fuck was the tribe that made Majora's Mask? They could have had that been thw twili which would have worked great but nope lol gotta have ganon again
This makes no sense
E3 next year:
>Zelda
>Monlithsoft's new game
>Bayonetta 3
>Metroid Prime 4
>Shine Megami Tensei 5
Looking good so far, and I could easily see them revealing a new 3d Mario as well
Changing directly from one of the biggest open worlds to a map entirely made of caves can be a little bit extreme, too big of a change. The voice in the trailer suggests something around Midna or Fi, unless they are using that now as a language, so you could expect that either of those characters might be involved. After Ganondorf was corrupted by the Malice, Fi could've sealed him to prevent the misuse of the Master Sword and to prevent further calamity to happen, or it could be that Midna trapped him to prevent a bigger disaster. Either scenario involves a corrupted "hero" that was sealed by an ancient magic, probably with the help of another character and the power of the Triforce used by another Zelda.
Knowing Nintendo, they will either do something that we don't expect, or something totally expectable.
>one of the worst opening segments in the entire franchise.
Someone got filtered.
Aonuma can't make a game that's darker in tone than Majora's Mask and even if he does there's no guarantee it would be well-executed.
That's not gonna happen in a Zelda game, but it's already been confirmed Zelda has feelings for Link so we could see a confession scene at the end.
In the darkworld.
>set in the same Hyrule as the first game
God I hope not. I actually loved BotW's map, but even I would be peeved if they reused it. We need to explore new lands.
They are all in that trailer. Dorfs corpse holds power and Link holds courage and Zelda wisdom.
>TP's dungeons were all style over substance, its overworld was absolute ass, its difficulty didn't exist,
It's 3D Zelda, that's expected. BotW cutting everything out wasn't.
they literally created the Hylian race together in Skyward Sword brainlet
Just read this thread carefully. Go watch the interviews. Learn nip and translate it yourself if you don't trust others. Watch the trailer again and pay attention to details like his clothing, music, bgm, etc. Learn the time line. Fuck off with your redundant pessimism like
>really? MAYBE if I capitalize EVERY. OTHER. WORD. I can ACT like I have something effective to say, BUT really just whine for a spoonfeed.
When Kingdom Hearts delivers the message better, you know something went horribly wrong. If its any consolation, Link Evolution has a Yuya vs Yushou duel for the ceremonial duel in Arc-V's campaign.
Yeah, filtered from a shitty game.
Good. I'd rather have no dungeons at all than bad ones, and BotW is definitely more challenging than anything in TP.
It’s going to be underground so like the total opposite of breath of the wild.
I’m thinking link gets a hoot shot arm to get around in the caves. Or at least the first half of the game is underground.
>Hyrule's Castle floating into the sky opens a portal to Lorule
>both maps equally huge, equally explorable
>they literally created the Hylian race together
The Golden Goddess created them, not Zelda and Link.
*ping*
>I'd rather have no dungeons at all than bad ones
Glad I'll never have taste this shit.
Man, I enjoyed TP's dungeon's quite a bit, I thought it was easily the game's biggest strength. But I agree that BotW is easily the better game.
Even with maximum asset reusage and making Lolrule a bunch of edits to the Hyrule map that seems way too big to feasible.
Piss off lol
Your taste is worse than shit if you enjoy badly designed dungeons.
I want to become a cute sword.
Dungeons are coming back you might not like it but this game will be the antithesis of BOTW. Think about it. It will be set underground and possibly have dark world or the sacred realm in it.
It will be underground and have different dimensions like dark world/ twilight realm and possibly sacred realm.
there is zero conclusive evidence for any of the assertions i challenged in my post
>the champions
this is a direct sequel so I think they are kind of dead, you know. But there definitely could be some side characters
This is the only way I'd be okay with them reusing the ogreworld
based and true
Snoy
Shit bro.
I don’t want the same fucking map, that’s lazy
I didn't say I didn't like the possibility of dungeons, I said I didn't want bad ones. I'm optimistic about this game.
>badly designed dungeons.
Of which TP didn't have. 3D Zelda never had complex dungeons because that wasn't their point, 2D Zelda allowed for more complex dungeons because it was easier.
>What game?
No game. Recruitment art on websites is commonly not indicative of what a company is working on. They're not going to reveal their new game on their hiring page.
because it was link's fucking job to follow her around. she even bitched about it at one point.
If there’s no new map it’s fucking DLC garbage
Let's not talk about Arc-V please.
Let's juat put it aside forever
If they do reuse the overworld I wonder if they'll do the cheeky thing where they put a high level boss in the Great Plateau if you bother to go back there.
>Of which TP didn't have
It had some of the worst ones in the series. Doesn't help that most of the puzzles within them were utter garbage.
TP's dungeons are only praised for their aesthetic.
