All the way back in 2000, you might recall that Nintendo followed up the groundbreaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. It was the quickest turnaround time between major entries in the Zelda series, and it allowed Nintendo 64 owners to go on two adventures with The Hero of Time.
Why all this preamble? Because the consolemaker is going to do it again with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, which is now in development for the Nintendo Switch.
A trailer for the direct sequel was unveiled at the end of Nintendo’s E3 presentation, and it depicts Link and Zelda discovering Ganon’s desiccated corpse in a dungeon deep beneath the castle. Unfortunately, some kind of malevolent energy has attached itself to Ganon and its about to make things unpleasant (once again) for the people of Hyrule.
Nintendo wasn’t ready to announce a release date for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, but let’s hope like Majora’s Mask, it’s sooner rather than later.
