Thankfully, at this time’s Nintendo Direct lastly gave us one other glimpse of the extremely anticipated motion journey sport by Nintendo, to carry us regular till its launch subsequent 12 months. It’s approaching 5/13/2022, and it’s referred to as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild 2, it needs to be famous, isn’t the sport’s official title, although I’m certain many people can be calling it that for a very long time to come back. It does, in any case, appear to have a direct connection to the earlier open-world sport. It’s sort of humorous to get the announcement of the sport’s title this far in, however for a very long time, Nintendo insisted that the “actual” title of the brand new BotW sport would spoil one thing in regards to the premise. So, any going theories as to what the title might be referring to, lore of us?
The trailer is fairly temporary and doesn’t give away a lot. The title and launch date are the large information objects right here. However what we do see largely focuses on what seems to be in-game hieroglyphics, which is likely to be pointing towards a delusion or the bigger story. There’s some sort of deity that seems to be surrounded by icons that I’m going to guess are the proverbial tears. There was, nevertheless, some temporary gameplay proven, which emphasised how a lot Hyperlink can be taking to the skies right here. He has a glider now! And there’ll nonetheless be loads of climbing, it appears.
Previous to this, the drought of stories in 2022 led followers to desperation, as individuals tried to extrapolate no matter bits of data they may from unintended spoilers from an Italian voice actor. We’ve, nevertheless, gotten a good take a look at what’s going to be within the sport. Apart from the desiccated husk that has now turn out to be the web’s boyfriend, we additionally know that the BotW sequel emphasizes verticality. Some chunks of the world have been ripped out of the bottom, changing into sky islands within the course of. And Hyperlink now seems to have the ability to teleport above (and presumably beneath?) himself.
Some have likened these components of BotW 2 to Skyward Sword, however who is aware of what the thrust of the ultimate sport is likely to be? The preliminary reveal trailer, for instance, had extra of a horror really feel to it. Even a few of these loftier scenes within the sky are tinged with bleakness, provided that the islands floating within the clouds are sometimes infested by a blight. No surprise, then, that there are already all kinds of untamed fan theories relating to the place BotW 2 goes subsequent.
