cohen205 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I cant see them reusing the BOTW Map. Part of the joy was the exploration.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogawoods Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I'm not buying the idea of a whole new open world to explore underground. Nintendo themselves the use their own 'open air' term to refer to this new style of Zelda, which doesn't seem to fit with an entire world of underground cave networks. No sunset vistas, no paragliding off mountains, no day and night cycle, no towns or NPCs. I don't buy it at all. I think it's going to be a heavily modified version of the same Hyrule, unfortunately, with maybe a bunch of proper underground dungeons and new caves to explore. Or maybe previous posters are right and we take off on Hyrule Castle spaceship to explore a new planet entirely, or a more fleshed out Skyloft. Anything but Hyrule again, please.

Probably not, although it references Breath of the Wild much more heavily than I was expecting so who knows? Super Mario Galaxy 2 was very surprising and unNintendo but they did that. You know what? I'm not really that worried. It's likely to be fucking brilliant regardless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooch Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My thoughts are this is the opening cut scene. Link and Zelda are investigating under the castle and awake something they shouldn’t. Castle flies off. They follow. Boom. New world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dug Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 And in space they discover these floating jellyfish-like parasitical creatures that drain the life energy of whatever they latch onto. In other words the sequel to BotW and Metroid Prime 4 ARE THE SAME GAME!!!!! MEG4TON!!!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogawoods Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Welp, here it is, from Aonuma himself. Same Hyrule, new story, new gameplay. Quote Direct sequels are rare in Zelda titles, but Aonuma saw something special about Breath of the Wild and wanted to create a new experience. "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 says. Now I really am worried. Even if they shake the world up a lot, I don't see how it can come close to that sense of discovery and wonder BOTW delivered.

Popo Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hmmm. If it’s the same world why not make it DLC? It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve got up their sleeve, but, erm, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogawoods Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The utterly vile thought has just occurred to me that some of the BOTW team might have been spending some of the last couple of years making Link's fucking Awakening. In any case, I do wonder if after the very long and presumably quite arduous development of BOTW, they didn't fancy devising a new world of that scope all over again, perhaps leaving that for Switch 2? I wonder also if there might be a difference in opinion at this news between players who completed BOTW in a few dozen hours and still feel a sense of wonder and mystery when remembering the world, and players who combed every square inch of the place for every last Korok seed and feel a sense of slight tedium at the prospect of returning there for another few hundred hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryodi Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It’s also going to be designed for the Switch instead of being cross gen so it’ll be interesting to see what extras they can add with the extra power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogawoods Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 If it had to be the same Hyrule I think I would have preferred a prequel with the place in all its former glory before it went to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calashnikov Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Oh, and what about A Link Between Worlds? An actual mainline Zelda game that took place on a familiar and much-loved Zelda map. It can be done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderm Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I know it's a rom hack but reading all this I'm now thinking it could be a similar idea to parallel worlds, the link to the past remix.

DC Lemon Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The teaser looks great and I have absolute faith in Aonuma and his team. There’ll be some new twist that makes revisiting this Hyrule end up being a stroke of genius. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidWalian Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A reminder that monolithsoft was recently hiring for technical artists, programmers, planners, designers and management support to work on a new Zelda game. Maybe a big role in this game, whilst the main team works on something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be well up for a much grander version of that Parallel universe is the best theory indeed, won't be surprised if this ends up being the case. -Explains the purple Demise crap still existing. -Link was Zelda's bodygaurd in the BotW cutscenes, that still works in a different timeline situation. -Mr Bones: Twight Princess stabbed Dorfy? Probably not Wind Waker Dorf, he turned to stone. Considering timeline placement was the biggest complaint to botw, wouldn't be surprised if Aonuma's thinking things.
