ITT: We predict the story of BOTW2

Zelda and boy zelda get married,go to the basement to see where all zeldas sex cave and it turns out she had an affair with ganon and thats why he is all dry and wrinkley because she left him down there on accident.

ganon becomes a funny pig once more

its gonna be some zelda timeline bullshit
that corpse is gonna be the corpse of one of the previously defeated ganons and theres gonna be some fuckshit related to triforce power and whatever and hes back and you gotta beat his dead ass AGAIN
maybe theyll even be big enough hacks to do the time travel-spiritual-whatever "all the links combine their power" horseshit

Ganondorf falls back on his master plan to recover the Ocarina of Time and sew all the LoZ timelines back into one. Timespace fuckery ensues as reality tries to deal with all the contradictions of the three timelines coming together and the big G exploits this by using key items from across all three timelines in order to start entirely destroying Hyrule.
Link and Zelda employ heroes from the past (a la Hyrule Warriors) to recover the full triforce and break the cycle of Links, Zeldas and Ganondorfs before killing Demise for good and bringing eternal peace to Hyrule.
Then Majora shows up

majora's mask but it's actually better

Might be like that concept art where Ganondorf stands on top of a floating island

A new awesome villain shows up, only for it to be revealed that Ganon was pulling the strings the whole time.

Not much to predict about the story, but I see them doing some kind of world split, with comfy overworld sections in a slightly modified version of BotW's overworld and a second sort of dark/dream/shadow world which is a much different parallel to hyrule where most of the game takes place.
Hyrule is full of NPCs and Towns now where you have to mainly explore, discover, and talk to people to get things done and the other world is packed with enemies and temples and puzzles and is overall very hostile.

Honestly, I'm not sure how they're going to do a direct sequel without straight up recycling the world, which is why that's where my thoughts are. MM was a successful sequel to OoT because past the first 2 minutes Link dies or whatever and gets sent to the shadow realm where nintendo could craft a completely new world without worrying about the established topography of OoT hyrule. But with BotW the world is already established very solidly, so if it takes place directly after BotW they'd have to cook up a reason to go to a new world or recycle the exact same world that hasn't had enough time to change.

You just know it will be timeshit after how well received Hyrule Warriors and Avengers Endgame were. Can Nintendy pull it off?

Based on a recent interview with Aonuma, it sounds like BOTW2 will take place in the same world as BOTW again, no new world a la Majora's Mask. A completely new world to explore was my initial prediction. Link disappearing in the trailer made it seem like he was being teleported to a different universe.

I was thinking about how they usually do this, and how it would be really interesting if they pulled a switcheroo- this time it was Ganondorf being manipulated by a higher power. Not the most earth-shatteringly creative variation but it would flip the script a bit

Link gets a mech and beats the shit out of the golden goddesses

Zelda and Link become separated in the beginning.
The dumbass gets baited into releasing Ganon but this also releases the magic hand that was sealing him.
The hand fuses with Link and allows him to save Zelda in last second.
The whole game is about two of them trying to un-fuck everything and defeat Ganon for good, Link has the ghost hand powers, Zelda handles the Slate and support/healing. Ghost hand allows Link to draw Zelda towards himself during platforming sections among other things.
The game world is the same, only more corrupted and with more events akin to blood moon, only now they stay for several hours adding to the challenge or forcing you to seek shelter blowout style. Actual dungeons open up in addition to some Divine Beast like constructs.

certain locations rise up to the sky like the hyrule castle and beneath them there is a dungeon

late game you can freely fly and get to the islands floating above hyrule, also discovery of more land

im like 90% sure that "it takes place in hyrule again" is them being cheeky fuckheads
like "teehee, of course it takes place in hyrule, but we didnt say WHICH hyrule, did we, HA, GOTCHA, ITS ACTUALLY SOME TIME/DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL SHIT (aka cleverly disguised nostalgia bait)"
but then they end up recycling a bunch of assets and shit anyway because why not

You have to go on a magical quest to find 10000 korok seed scattered in an empty world with nothing to fight but goblins... oh wait...

See the old hero who defeated ganon in the past? Ganondorf's a good guy here, he took Ganon inside himself to seal him away.

BIG IF TRUE

seriously though I wondered why the fuck they would design link like that when Zelda clearly has blonde hair in the same drawing, he definitely looks nothing at all like Link

Local withering corpse wants to finally fucking die but is heckled by a billion year old curse and some teenagers breaking into his basement.

it's Ganondorf's decaying body for sure, the runes glowing around the room are written in Gerudo language,the carvings in the wall depict a large man riding a huge horse and in the original game, Urboza references Ganondorf by saying
>It was written that Calamity Ganon once adopted the form of a Gerudo
meaning that at one point,he existed in his Gerudo form in that version of Hyrule, was killed,(probably without help from the hero/princess) and from his body started to spill the malice that took the form of the calamity.

God I wish this is what it is, would be such a refreshing change

ALBW already did this.

it could be like LttP's or ALBW Dark World, it's still "Hyrule"

That wasn't really manipulation, Yuga just hijacked his body.

>The hero is depicted with red hair and a larger than usual nose
>The hero sacrificed his body in order to seal the calamity
>The origins of ganondorf
that would actually make for a really good story! and it'd go a long way fleshing out Ganondorf by giving him a sympathetic backstory...........but i'm sure they' ll just go with the cliche " you hero, bad is back GO KILL!" bs they always do

>past the first 2 minutes Link dies or whatever and gets sent to the shadow realm
Go back to YouTube comments.

what are you trying to say, user
use your words

I have two theories:

1) The mummy Ganondorf has been there for the past 10000 years since the last time the hero beat Ganon, he actually learned he was cursed by Demise and decided to sacrifice himself by sealing his own power. Some external force then tries taking Link's and Zelda's pieces of the triforce to resurrect Ganondorf again.

2) The Ganondorf mummy has been sealed in that catacomb for much longer than the 10000 years before BotW, turns out he IS the original Ganondorf, something happens, he revives and is so powerful that the only thing that can be done is send him to the past 10000 years before when the army of guardians could take him out, fulfilling BotW's backstory.

unironically this

These are both really interesting theories. I can't wait to see what they're going to do with the 'dorf this time around, if he'll get a "human form" in flashbacks or otherwise, or just the mummy form, and most importantly what exactly the deal is with him being sealed up underneath the castle.

Yes, Demise would definitely be wearing Gerudo symbology when he died long before the Gerudo even emerged as a species. Clearly not Ganondorf, the king of the Gerudo.

After calamity ganon is defeated, malice is still seeping out from somewhere, they find an underground passage, following the malice until they find a chamber where ganondorf was defeated by the red haired hero on the drawings. His hand, powered by shiekah technology is trying to seal it away. Ganondorf probably revives his body with the triforce of power when he reacted to the other pieces of the triforce being so close.

He raises hyrule castle into the sky and sends malice in all directions into deep underground dungeons to siphon life force away to restore his body to life. Link will have to go into these dungeons to destroy the malice to save everyone and find some ancient technology to reach the castle that's now soaring above.

Here's a better quality image

Yeah and why is there a Ganondorf separate from the Ganon we just killed, that's why I thought of the time travel theory, unless BotW is a compete reboot of the story and they changed how the Ganondorf/Ganon dynamic works.

I just hope we can play as Zelda to save Link for a change.

That's gotta be Ganondorf look at his nose

Based.

Seriously though how can anyone look at this guy and think it ISNT fucking ganondorf as the ancient hero? It's certainly not link, his hair is red and his skin is dark

the hero that Sealed the calamity before BoTW's events is depicted with red long hair and a large nose
i mean it wouldn't be crazy to think link could be born a Gerudo, i mean it could be possible, and that to seal the calamity he had to sacrifice his body, the calamity then uses the blood of the hero to reinarnate itself as a Gerudo, making Ganondorf's humanoid form in previous games make more sence

BEST THEORY

Are you guys just pretending to be retarded?

And what's your explanation retard

Ganondorf bad. Must kill.

1- an ancient evil awaken
2- hai hie hyaaaaa !!!
3- triforce is complete, ganon dies, hyrule is saved again

What are you saying? This mummy is both a Ganondorf AND a Link?

holy shit people are actually seething and yet they cannot disprove this awesome theory. spread it like wildfire bros

It's literally just a stylistic thing they probably didn't want him to look exactly like zelda

Ganondorf not stay dead. Must kill again.

>link: how many times do i need to kill you until you are death
>ganon: yes

Ganondorf was once a champion, and he is the one who originally sealed Calamity Ganon away, but he became corrupted and died from it. Now that Calamity Ganon has been defeated, one of his minions that we never saw is awakening Ganondorf to become his new vessel.

Demise's return involving Ganondorf's corpse, the Malice and the green arm thingy.

link has to save the princess and world from a looming threat and he has to pull a sword from a stone to do that

maybe it's a reference to his brown hair from the original LoZ, or his pinkish hair from LttP

Why give him a big nose and make his skin dark then? Red hair sure I'd buy as stylised but why does he not have the fucking Link outfit then on top of the other stuff

>red long hair
>blue tunic with energy flowing around it of the same color of the hand in the trailer

god damn I always knew there was something more to ganon's chamber down the castle, remember how he came UP from underground and took over the guardians, who where ALSO underground?

Remember how the sheikas simply FOUND this technology and didn't create it?

I'm thinking zelda will go full ayy lmao bros

There's the possibility they were trying to base it off his BOTW appearance clothing-wise with the blue tunic and no cap, but I agree, it's a weirdly deliberate choice. This could all be a complete reach but it's fun to discuss and speculate.

>one of his minions that we never saw
He was merely pretending to die in that Looney Tunes fall.

>steals Zelda.

I hope not, I'd like to see coop dungeons that you can either play offline a la wind waker or with an actual friend.

The hero in Zelda games usually is born a hylian, but what if, this Link's mother happened to be a Gerudo woman who got pregnant by a hylian guy, Gerudo always give birth to more Gerudo females but very, very rarely, Gerudo males can be born, what if, the hero that defeated the calamity before the events of BotW, was a Gerudo/Hylian mix male and that is why the this especific hero in that ancient depiction has long red hair and a long nose instead.

After that boss fight, all Yiga Impersonators say how they will take revenge for his dissappearance

If Kogah really was alive, he'd make it known to other Yiga, because he was living a comfortable life where he was worshipped as the Clan Leader and ate bananas all day

That undermines Link and Zelda's struggles in every previous game for the sake of SUBVERTED EXPECTATIONS

Boy don't get my hopes up, I really like this plot point

Link is going to become half corrupted by the Calamity and Zelda will have to save him. Ganondorf is unable to move or do it himself, but he gives Zelda the information she needs to stop the Calamity from completely swallowing Link. Ganondorf will draw all the calamity toward himself in the end becoming very powerful, but losing his mind in self sacrifice, but also ending the cycle of Demise upon being defeated.

>red haired Link

Man, that's a pretty interesting take. Having Ganondorf act as this begrudging anti-hero, sort of a reluctant Otacon would be really cool and build sympathy for when he inevitably loses his shit and you fight him in the end.

not that cotton candy pink shit, crimson red hair?
the long red hair combined with dark skin and a long nose is pure Ganondorf. You can't bullshit your way out of that.

Everyone commented on it when the game came out, the game just never addresses it and no one knew there would be a sequel so there was no use theorizing

You idiots:

there are murals depicting Ganondorf with his trident being in War against the Hylians, that doesn't go well with the "ganondorf is the hero" theory

You have to consider that they're Japanese.

They're Japanese. They can't resist that kind of shit.

This is an actual argument against this theory, finally. Granted those paintings could be from a different "era", but most likely not. Well played.

Ok so the idea is that the hero (Ganondorf or some other Gerudo) sealed away the Calamity Ganon 10,000 years ago, and died doing so? And now you and Zelda go down to the sealing chamber to see what went wrong? Am I missing anything

I've come to the conclusion that every moron that calls it Demise is a zoomer that hasn't played any Zelda games before Skyward Sword. They also always speak shit English.

Zelda kind of forgot about Ganondorf's mummified corpse.

Ganondorf was the very first thing they showed off about this sequel, he's going to be the focus.

God I hope so.

Why they never did this with WW I'll never understand. They could have easily just as they did for OOT > MM taken WW's everything and just made an entirely new game with it, set on land. Like a sequel to Links Awakening or something.

It worked so well for OOT > Majora it really is weird they didn't keep this up, spend time laying ground work to make a solid game, and then a really short dev cycle after that to churn out a really fucking deep followup using the previous game as a basis.

I am convinced they were planning this before Botw was even released. They knew they were going to make a sequel where Ganondorf returns, and the villain for the first game was just going to be some shitty evil smoke. They wouldn't make Link look like Ganondorf in the mural for no fucking reason. And the fact that they said each conflict with Ganon faded into legend, as in people just forgot or didn't know the details, and just assumed it was Link who was the hero.

Ganondorf was one of the only things that could make BotW even better. Now we only need real dungeons and maaaaaybe a bit more durability on weapons, and it would be perfect.
But in all honesty? Ganondorf was the one thing I missed the most in BotW.

an ancient goodness*

I've always believed Groose was the one that started the Gerudo race once the people of Skyloft settled in Hyrule. Look at him. Red hair, tall, yellow eyes, and he was enemies with Link.

an ancient semen demon*

>playable Zelda
BOTW Zelda is literally the worst possible Zelda you could ever pick to try and play as. What's she going to do? Bookworm the enemies to death? Bitch at them until they kill themselves from frustration?

Groose was the first gerudo king confirmed. You think he is ganondorf's grandpa or something?

Orange hair man bad.

More like great grandpa since a new male was only born to the gerudos every century. The more concerning question is how many women Groose fucked and impregnated to get the Gerudo race started.

>Gerudo male
>long red hair
hmmmm I wonder who this could be...

How can Ganondorf be a hero when Gandondorf is literally just the human shell that Demise stuffs himself into? Ganondorf and Ganon are one and the same thing from the moment of his birth.

The hand is the ancient hero that failed to kill ganondorf, Link discovers ganondorf's tomb in which the ancient hero penibly sealed him, the ancient hero merges with Link, now they must kill ganondorf.

There's nothing to suggest he's going to war against Hylians. Heck, you see a couple people behind him who look to be on his side and they look human.

I don't buy into this theory. So he's just a possessed infant, then toddler, etcetera? With the mind of a fully developed Demise? Nah. He'd be more apparent about that. Look at his speech in WW, his motivations. That's the speech of a man with his own identity and misguided "morals", not some demon vessel.

Could be theorized that the triforce actually tried to protect him for once and hide him from Demise

>Groose was the first gerudo king confirmed.
So you're telling me that when Skyloft descended to earth, the first thing Groose did was find every hot redhead in the village, collect them all into his harem, and fuck off into the desert so he could spend all day banging them without being bothered?

>Demise reappears as a butthurt cloud of evil
>Ganondorf meets him and fights him
>Loses/seals him inside his body

It's dumb but it's not that dumber than most of the official lore so

Link gets a circumcision because Zelda had a gerudo dick before and now she prefers it

Turns out Calamity Ganon was always just a fraction of Ganon's power as the majority was locked inside the mummy.

While now released, Link gets the power of the seal (like a powerup mode). He and Zelda team up to defeat him. They reform the 4 champions, with Riju, Sidon, Yunobo and Teba.

The overworld is in the process of rebuilding, so you have lots of more settlements (ruined villages now being actual villages). In return you have a huge, vast network of caves and an actual underworld where all the dungeon crawling happens... so basically one gigantic superdungeon.

Based on the music at the start of the trailer: you may visit the Twilight realm.

>Based on the music at the start of the trailer: you may visit the Twilight realm.

DON'T YOU FUCKING DO IT SPONGEBOB

Everyone misinterprets what Demise said. He didn't say he would literally reincarnate as Ganondorf, he said an incarnation of his hatred would follow their kind, and described it as a curse. And that's the NOA version, the Japanese translation makes it more clear.
>My hatred... The curse of the Demon Tribe... They shall continuously go on reincarnating until the end of all times.
>You people shall... You people who possess the blood of the Goddess and the soul of hero shall... forever be unable to escape from this curse!
>This hatred and grudge... Its evolution shall forever painfully wander across this blood-stained "Dark Sea" along with you lowlifes forever!!

Skyward Sword already did that, with the whole timeline.

>he said an incarnation of his hatred would follow their kind,
who's name is Ganondorf

Gerudo don't have red skin and blue eyes. This theory is retarded.

Yes, obviously that curse was Ganondorf. But it doesn't mean he IS Ganondorf. Because of the curse, Ganondorf was born destined to be an evil fucker that never dies.

Anyone who thinks that its Ganondorf depicted in the mural is an absolute retard.

No, the game specifically says that its the Master Sword.

Sure as hell looks more like Ganondorf than fucking Link.

I didn't play BoW but I have a lore question. With Link and Zelda being reincarnations of the hero and the goddess who clearly want to bone, isn't it weird that Link fell in love with another person? I mean she's dead now right so the problem is gone but that fact just has bugged me.

Then again I really don't understand how the Zelda reincarnation system works.

Link didn't fall in love with Mipha,, it was a one sided relationship, Mipha loved link but Link didn't love back, kinda like Malon.

Only person I can think of that link has wanted to bone is Saria.

Also, the legend or games never explicitly say they bone.

It isn't the same link from BotW, you dumb fuck.

What are they selling!?

In the trailer, it looks like the Malice is seeping from the corpse. I don't think it's going to be anything lore-shattering like Nice Guy Ganon - my guess is:
>Ganondorf appears again in the past, and goes about his usual shtick
>For whatever reason, he's not killed or sealed in the traditional Zelda way. Whatever entity the hand was is making a concerted and constant effort to restrain him, like Zelda in the century leading up to BotW.
>It's able to bind Ganon's power and consciousness, so he's unable to do anything to break free himself.
>The seal weakens over time, and some of Ganon's replenishing power (Malice) starts to spill from his body. He's still essentially brain dead, though, so he can't capitalize on that himself.
>A bunch of this Malice pools together to create Calamity Ganon, which like the Scourges or Phantom Ganon, isn't technically Ganon himself but a kind of avatar formed from his power.
>That would mean that Calamity Ganon isn't the true source of Malice, but Ganondorf himself.
>Calamity Ganon has limited consciousness - it's probably unaware of Ganondorf, or that it should/could free and rejoin him. It still has a compulsion to envelop Hyrule and create a physical form for itself, however.
>Link and Zelda defeat and seal away Calamity Ganon, and the Malice derived from it in the world fades away.
>Sometime later, though, Malice starts to return, so Link and Zelda return to Hyrule Castle to investigate where it's coming from.
>They come across the hidden crypt and Ganondorf's bound body.
>Either through convenient timing or some kind of fuck-up, the entity loses its grip and Ganondorf breaks free, setting up for his return.
>The weakened Ganondorf retreats to the sky to bide his time before his full power returns.

Pure fucking stupidity - Round 2. It's pre release BotW all over again.

If they fix weapon durability it's a 10/10, my autism stopped me from using any weapon but the master sword, I have an inventory full of hyper-powerful swords that I've never touched because I don't want to lose them.

Urbosa claims "It was written that Ganon once adopted the form of a Gerudo. Now I can take this personally."
I guess it depends on what the term "adopted" means, and whether or not it's a translation error closer to "possessed". I always took it as she's more eager to kill Ganon because it made her tribe look weak, but with new context it could be closer to avenging a fallen member of her tribe.

Where does it say that?

He also fucked Ruto too, due to all the Zoras looking humanoid in Twilight Princess, Rutela having Link's haircut and the Zora Armor that happens to fit his descendant. As Mipha stated the Zora Armor is a marriage proposal and Link was technically marred to Ruto when get received the Zora Sapphire

Oh man, it absolutely could be taken this way. Nice Guy Ganon theory is gaining steam bros, keep the dream alive

>implying that Malon would be willing to share

What about the giant hand on Ganondorf's chest that presumably locked him in place?

It's mine.

Alternatively he just fucked off on his own, found some unrelated brown amazon tribe, became their king and the Gerudo is the result of their mixed offspring.

The hand is actually Midna (or a descendant) trying to keep Ganondorf's evil sealed and when it fails, it bonds with Link to restore its power. Game takes place in Hyrule, but it's the shadow realm version.

You know I remember those discussions about a new Zelda game where Ganon takes on more of a an antihero role while Zelda commits a major fuckup that upsets the balance of the 3.

Sadly I don’t think that’s quite what we’re gonna get. Nintendo would never break the status Quo. It’ll probably be just the return of pre calamity ganon. Maybe they’ll stick to the Majora’s Mask thing of at least not making him the end boss again

crossover of the century

In the past they sealed Ganondorf in a living, but incapacitated state which is why the curse could not continue for a time.
Which in turn led to the narrative that Ganon has "given up on reincarnation" and that this is the pure malice incarnate, when all it really was is Ganon's normal malice seeping out through a time weakened seal. When Link and Zelda arrive at the corpse it's either by bad luck that they release Ganondorf's seal, like the ground giving away and Link falling to his death with the Hand rescuing him, but by that freeing Ganondorf. Or they try to strengthen the seal to prevent malice from leaking out and remove it by accident.

Not to mention that Demise go succed into the Master Sword when he died anyway, whereas Ganondorf's body never gets completely destroyed each time you put him down. AND Demise needed Zelda's soul to maintain a human form, otherwise he just came back as the Imprisoned.

Man fuck kogah. Worst Zelda villain.

Its tied to the blue crystals in the cavern.
My bet is that when an ancient evil manifested some dumb motherfucker pulled the master sword from his chest. Instead of killing everything ganondorf played it cool. Maybe took his title as Gerudo king. Worked his way into the Hyrule inner court and used his influence to try and grasp the power of those crystals for his own uses. Shieka found out he was on a quest for ABSOLUTE POWER and side stepping the king fucked him over really hard. They also new about the cycle of resurrection so rather than straight kill him they damned him to an existence between life and death just like their mummies. Using the same power he wanted to trap him. It wasn't a prefect seal though and so the hate of 10,000 years manifested at calamity Ganon. Realizing Ganondorf was back and how hard they fucked him over after taking all his work for their own the clan shattered in an attempt to stay his wrath.

nah, it's still a stupid rock

plus your annalogy doesn't work because according to you, ganon would have find a use for them in the past.

Lore wise they contain the souls of the dead. Not only that but all the shrines with the shieka mummies also have that eerie blue light.
A twilight existence between life and death and another power well beyond his current world that Ganondorf would know well after Twilight Princess.

Finally a game approved by planned parenthood

At first you think that Ganondorf is the villain, but later you learn that by lifting Hyrule castle into the sky you broke the seal on Demise and released him from his prison, forcing you to take on both Demise and his hatred incarnate at the same time

Naw senpai Demise is gone. Ganondorf may be the incarnation of his hatred but Ganondorf aint a bitch and would never share a world with him.

Ultimate game:
Ganondorf is a bad mummy.
Zelda accidentally releases him.
Ganondorf uses ultimate unsealed bad guy powers to call on whatever his right hand man is, Ganon curses Zelda with some kind of curse that slowly eats away at her soul and they teleport away.

Ghost hand merges with link, turns out the hand is the Spirit of TP Link, infused with the magic of Twili and training from The Heroes Spirit.

Hand-kun tells you he knows of only one way to track down Ganon and save Zelda. You have to assemble the Twilight Mirror shards.

First fourth of the game is getting the shards and exploring the overworld, kind of a grand tutorial A-la Getting the Triforce shards in WW.

Second fourth is getting to the Twilight Realm and meeting Milf-Midna. Time flows differently in the Twilight Realm, and Midna mistakes Link for her link.

With Zelda on Twili life support you join forces with Midna and Ghost hand to fuck up the forces of Ganon and, Bringing back the Twili to Hyrule, as reward for undoing the misdeeds of the Interlopers.

>link and ganon team up

I mean I don’t understand the whole purpose of creating the triforce only to allow the power piece to just always end up with evil. Sounds sketchy to me

They'll never top Majora. It hurts to accept but in the end I'm not sure they could ever possibly come close to how awesome and uniquely disconcerting Majora was. If they did I'd be thrilled, but the chances feel slim.

Im pretty sure they simply had too long of a story to fit into one game, and decided a year or so into it that the game would have to be splt. knowing ahead of time that they were going to get 2-3 games out of that engine and map is what got them the budget to do what they did, and is also unfortunately why it was delayed so long.

The narrator didn't make the mural.

Main line game user, the spin offs usually always have a non-ganon antagonist.
I feel like botw2 was the PERFECT game to do it because they made such a big deal about ganon fucking his own cycle up.
Instead it looks like we got some kingdom hearts tier "if you die you come back right away in your other form" shit.

Zelda and Link decide to actually look into what Calamity Ganon was, find Ganon still alive, he's fucking pissed, activates the rest of the ancient technology under Hyrule. Final battle is some Wind Waker shit where he says he just wants to fucking die instead of being held down for 10k years. Game probably won't explain shit about what the hand actually is and how it's trapped him there besides ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY.

Ganondorf is bound by a Sheikah ghost in the dungeons of Hyrule castle, Zelda & Link disturb it, it becomes Link's arm and Ganondorf reanimates from death. Mission of the game is to kill Ganondorf again. Link's sheikah arm is an upgradeable gadget.

Wrong last canonical appearance of Ganondorf was twilight princess. His neck snaps back. The connection between Zant and Ganondorf is still strong.

Calling it now, the big plot twist is the sword being destroyed.

We did discuss that when BotW was released though.

I agree, it's just kind of deliberately weird when they've always taken extra care to make him look like actual Link any of the other times the older games did a similar sort of "lore painting" bit.

That sounds fun.
Bring it on.

It'd give us an excuse to start over with no magic, no hearts, etc. Though Link getting a ghost handjob will probably be the justification.

But it wasn't in opposition to what we'd seen, it was a surprising twist to explain what happens, ie. why do Link, Zelda and Ganondorf reincarnate to struggle for Triforce and Hyrule, over and over again.
The Ganon was a good guy all along would ruin even that.

Hitler was just posted by the devil bro lol.

I did have this thought recently, these little fuckers definitely deserved some kind of further lore or explanation, they were actual aliens for crying out loud. Seeing them in another game would be awesome.

Not to the extent that he's just a remote-control meatsack for a fully sentient Demise though, he still has his own identity and personality.

The glowy hand is the remnants of the previous incarnation of Link who died during his attempts to seal Ganondorf some 10,000 years ago.
Reawakening Ganondorf lead to this variation of Link reawakening as well. You know, ghosts having unfinished business and all.
He then merges with Link's arm and becomes our talking companion/guide for the game.

Reminder we already have a leak on BotW2

He was born to sow choas and and evil.

Perhaps. But it's not a curse directed at ganondorf.
He's the product of the curse. Same with mallidus and basically every other truly evil being in that world.

it's also the same colour as the 'flames' around the ghosts

Attached: botwghosts.jpg (1280x720, 122K)

The speech at the end of WW shows that incarnations of Ganondorf are possible where he acts out of less destructive (if a bit selfish) motivations. He was tired of his people dying in the harsh environments of the Gerudo Valley. Even if he used the excuse to do shitty things that's proof Ganondorf's mindset wasn't all "KILL, DOMINATE!!!" even if it was just mental gymnastics. It's totally plausible there was a flawed hero Ganondorf somewhere in Hyrule's nearly infinite history.

>Redeads
Hell yes, looking at that corpse I am all for it. They were even creepy as hell in WW and BotW really could have used more enemy variety.

>Perhaps. But it's not a curse directed at ganondorf.
You are right. It isn't. That's why there have been other people taking the role of Ganon.

Oh god I super want BotW redeads

*one very specific incarnation of Ganondorf

What is so horrible about this? We still get to have our evil tyrant Ganondorf. It's one fucking game, guys.

btw what are those fucking minerals?

>Zelda wants to investigate why the Malice was even a thing. It's not just enough to be able to seal Ganon away everytime, another incident could happen like with her. So she wants to cut it off at the source
>Researches the old legends and finds mention of Ganondorf and remembers what Urbosa told her a long time ago. Realizes that Ganon has to have a physical body somewhere and that he is no longer incarnating for some reason.
>Her and Link find the dungeon, trailer happens. Link manages to fight off Corpsedorf as it reacts poorly to the hand that is now merged with Link. The two escape, but so does Dorf. Now the plot of the game is figuring out where he went, so that they can prevent him from returning to full power and finding out what exactly the hand was and why it merged with Link

It's always the same Ganondorf though.

I just want a zelda and link party.
I loved spirit tracks so much.

I think the first two points are great, and probably extremely accurate. The third feels like it might be off. I think a lot of the game will be pairing the overworld with the underworld, or something to do with the Twilight Realm.

BATTLE COUPLE BATTLE COUPLE

The ones we've seen. This is literally ten thousand years ago though. They left that part of the story so far into the past it couldn't be the same Link OR Ganondorf.

I hope it's just Link or just Zelda. I don't like escorts

Because it's fucking stupid to just throw the concept of Ganondorf being the "incarnation" of evil away, for the possibility of nah, he's not a bad guy, he's just being "controlled" by something evil.

I know Zelda is going to get incapacitated within the first 15 minutes of the game and stay that way until the end, but a part of me hopes that she becomes an active traveling companion for at least one segment.

that's the whole point of this new story, difficult but necessary choice. the guys been reincarnated how many fuckin times just cause some goddess sperged out, it's an infinite cycle. would be cool if he recovered all his memories from past lives and relived how much suffering this whole cycle has caused over countless iterations. ganondorf would want it to end too

That incarnation was the same one from Oot. That was sealed.
He broke out of his seal and ruined the world so bad they flooded it.
And he was an unrepentant dick in oot

It looks like that's what we're getting. I'm excited, too. Zelda is the one "damsel" I always thought would be a great main/partner, compared to the others out there.

I hope they implement something that somehow allows you to swap Link/Zelda at any time, but Link stays the main, but certain items/abilities are Zelda-exclusive. Not just a few, but a ton, so switching is mandatory a lot. Not an escort mission - she'll be able to hold her own. But not a "partner" like in Fallout or Skyrim or whatever. I dunno, they'll have to figure out a balance. I think they're capable, though.

I'm excited.

No, the dragon is link being powered up by zelda fighting calamity ganon which possesed the form of a Gerudo aka Ganondorf. In an interview the developer from BOTW explains that courage takes the form of a dragon and power is a japanese pig.

The reason he's degenerated into an angry pig cloud in botw is exactly because it's been the same guy throughout all thousands of years. Link and Zelda have always been reincarnated as the new Hero and Princess, but Ganondorf has always been the same dude.

We saw that there's more ridable animals, like that rhino thing they are using to carry their stuff.
What if Zelda is alos rideable? I'd be down for that.

It will never happen. Cuz that would be the end of the legend of zelda.

Best way would be if one is in the Shadow world/Lorule version of BOTWs Hyrule and the other is in the over world.
Like Link+Hand in dark world, Zelda in light.

Yes you are correct. Ganondorf is not weilding the máster sword bc hes not the hero chosen by the profice, hes calamity ganin

chronologically yeah but who the fuck says the next game has to happen after the death of hylia

ok guys, in the end of the trailer we see Hyrule Castle rise
but what if it doesn't fly into the sky?
it's just getting liftet on a giant pillar (like the Great Plateau)
>you can enter that pillar
>it's the entrance of the underground
>something like an underground hubworld
>you have to bring the dungeons collectibles there to open/activate something
>there has to be something under Hyrule Castle, that's where the pillars from Botw came from

It would make a lot of the other games feel meaningless.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I could never really enjoy The torna dlc in xenoblade 2 since I new what the end was going to be anyway.

Can we take a moment and ask why a full fucking arm - not a glove - is doing on Ganon?
What's the implication that the arm is still there? Did the last user have to cut the arm off to seal Ganon?

I hope so too. It would be the 'twins' game that I have been wanting. More in vein with FS/FSA then Triforce Heroes. Link gets the combat focused stuff, Zelda can do puzzles. If Link now just has the hand, while Zelda has the slate, then she can still fight in at least some capacity, but with new runes they could do some really cool puzzles. Also, it would be cool to do some archeological stuff with Zelda. Translating ancient texts and other stuff. I also just want to see Link and Zelda hanging out. I want to see them get even closer. The last game showed that once she got over herself, the two were pretty good friends and their two personalities meshed well. Zelda's over inquisitiveness and Link's go getter, they make a really fun duo that I want to see more of. Zelda trying to make Link eat more weird things, Link teaching her things, like how to fish, use the Paraglider.

maybe you're right but cmon it would make for a fuckin sick game nonetheless

maybe that's the Sheika technologie?
remember the Shadow Temple?
bottom of the well?
all in connection with the Sheika
maybe that's the reason why the king told the Sheika to fuck off?
because he knew about that dead/souls stuff

There are actual divergences in timelines at points though, and as far as I'm concerned Nintendo doing that opened themselves up for all kinds of fuckery. It's literally a "have your cake and eat it too" situation, there's no reason it should bother people who aren't disproportionately attached to this series' "narrative cohesion" which there there will never be a consistent amount of given the nature of the series.

The Malice also came from under there. The pillars were where the Guardians were being kept, so originally they were Sheikah made as a fast deployment method of Guardians. Which makes sense if they knew that Ganon would appear there, they should also have the weapons ready at the closest attack range.

I hope that they use the underground as our 'fast travel' this time, if all the shrines and towers are deactivated. A nice callback to Zelda 1.

This, or consider-

Ganondorf is a mummy. Where do mummies stay? Where is another notable LttP dark world endgame spot? THE PYRAMID OF POWER.

I hope they do something with the Triforce being ayylmao gods' equivalent of a Voyager space prob like it was once supposed to be in Zelda 1.

If it's the hand talking, then maybe they needed Zelda to restore their power. It makes sense that they wouldn't be able to keep Dorf sealed forever.

Or, maybe it's Ganondorf talking.

The divergences only began at the end of Ocarina of Time though. He's always going to be the asshole, King of Evil guy from the desert.

So there are multiple "dungeons" like areas in BOTW which don't really serve a purpose.

There's the area near a river around the starting area with what seems like a big temple or smething built into the rock

theres a giant chasm or canyon area with the entire floor being some large floor or roof structure and there is the forgotten temple area or whatever its anme is where you can go meet a sheika after you have done the puzzles which seems really heavilly guarded for some reason

and with all the caves in the snowy area atleast one could be bigger than is accessible in BOTW

Post it user

the malice isn't leaking out, its flowing in.

I want the Big monstrous bosses from Zelda 1 as enemies in the overworld to defeat like the Hynox. And the smaller bosses of Zelda 2 as hard enemies on tight spaces like caves or dungeons.

This wasn't even a thing to begin with until the abortion that was SS, you dumb newfag. All the way through WW he was just a man with ambition and anger. And WW was the single best version of Ganondorf and that version shits all over "dude Demise LMAO" faggotry.

The hero of time is exclusively the link from OoT and MM.
Other Links have different titles.

2: is it only me, or does the floor looks like Ganondorf was slammed there? forming a small crater?

Is there any news that suggests that this is the zelda game being made by monolithsoft or is this something different entirely?

>Midna is a 10 000+ years old hag

People that believe in Demise's "curse" are overly literal retards.
All the guy says is that there will be other badguys to fight, it doesn't mean he fucking posseses Ganondorf or some shit.

Some actual level design would be nice

Why didn't Zeldass just sit on mummy Ganondorf's face and crush it?

Attached: 4435345435435435.jpg (1448x2048, 272K)

those are power conduits. ganon has been powering the guardians and divine beasts and other sheika tech. and he's pissed about it cause those fuckers never paid the utility bill.

Assuming, of course, that the guy in the trailer is THE Ganondorf and not a later generation of accursed Gerudo king named Bill or something who was born 100,000 years later with a completely different backstory.

There's only been two ganons, and one of them showed up in only one game, which was the weird four swords adventures game on GameCube, and he was a reincarnation. Every other ganon was the same one from ocarina of Time, resurrected again and again

this is the monolithsoft zelda. its mostly world tweaking and building, they are reusing the engine, and monolith did the original world.

the calamity and ganon are two different entities. the calamity fed on ganon's power to manifest.

Calm down.

Nintendo likes their clear-cut good and evil stories. If you go in expecting Nintendo to mix things up, in Zelda of all things, you'll only end up dissapointed.

So Ganon becomes Link’s wingman?

>the resserection cycle for the last 10,000 years that BoTW played up is caused by that hand
>It stopped Ganondorfs heart and would have kill him, but the triforce makes him immortal so it just pins him there

>The chosen hero and blood of the goddess are just banishing the shadow of Ganon over and over again without dealing with the problem
>Zelda discovers the true source of the corruption and wants to end it leading them to find Ganondorfs desiccated body
>Since Ganondorf has an immortal corporeal form, he can be as easily banished like the Calamity is and he slowly begins to re-awaken.

The twist:The hand is the real villain

>inb4 some kind of Majora's Mask pandering that involves going to Termina and dealing with the Ikana tribe.

Darknut, Chilfos and Horsehead is all I want

the hand takes over link, releasing ganon. link and zelda have to recapture ganon, but link can't get rid of the hand. he has to stay there in the darkness forever holding ganon down with that hand.

Actually Ganondorf was the hero of the legend in breath of the wild, Zelda sealed Ganon in His body.

Now this. I can dig into.

Is that room like the opposite of the Shrine of Resurrection? All the shit coming out of the sealing seems like a bizarro version of the room Link wakes up in. So instead of healing him it's preventing resurrection?

I'm really glad that ganondorf is finally back, but I hope he regains his full body and isn't just a mummy the whole game.

could well be. and we know from the ending of botw that sheikah stuff is failing.

There's definitely something sketchy about the hand.

Man you guys are really setting yourselves up for disappointment and shitposting if this doesn't happen.

I could see it happening if they don't actually know it's Ganon and it's just a magic hand with a faked Linebeck-like personality.

What is the point of hyping yourself up when the end product will inevitably be a dissapointment?

nobody takes drunken speculation seriously user

We'll shitpost anyways, you know that.

I was only joking about the wingman stuff. Otherwise, Nintendo please do this.

>Zelda story
you beat the big evil and all NPCs/areas in retrospect don't matter at all

So who's guessing that Ganondorf isn't actually going to be in the game and they were lying, and instead we're just gonna face another goddamn pig ghost?

What? She was DTF by the end of BOTW dude. You did get all the memories, right?

This right here is 100% percent based.

Calamity Demise is wrecking Hyrule. Zelda and her Knights and Champions face him. Link dies, but passes on the Mastersword to his best friend Ganondorf, the last Champion alive. Goddess Allows Ganondorf to wield the Master Sword to defeat Demise, him and Zelda successfully beat back Demise but realize Ganondorf can't wield the full power of the sword and can't defeat Demise for good. Ganondorf tells Zelda to seal it within him, Zelda cuts off her own arm and seals him deep underground. Demise's malice corrupts Ganondorf and his malice that leaks out creates Calamity Ganon.

GOOD-GUY GANONDORF CONFIRMED

>BotW 2 will never have a expansion where you play as Zelda's ancestor and fight Ganon alongside a normal hero Ganondorf, in which he gradually becomes corrupted after sealing Calamity Ganon within himself, leading up to a climactic fight where Zelda has to put Ganondorf out of his misery.
