Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild has Multiple Endings

Zelda, now a JRPG.

I assume Zelda will take a page from Metroid and implement some minor changes based on completion percentage.

Im Going To Go Straight To Ganon And Fight Him In My Underwear And Die

Your wish is Aonuma's command.

Actually it's just one alternate ending.

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has teased an alternate ending for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In an interview with IGN Portugal, he said that a different ending will be shown “if you meet certain criteria.” “If you do a few things, you may see a different ending,” Aonuma teased.

Interesting premise overall. It if is indeed memory collection-based, the main story may be more traditionally streamlined, which is fine by me. Can't say I have much else to say on the matter; the whole BOTW experience has me intrigued.

Honestly, as @the8thark has already pointed out, there's only one alternate ending, which isn't crazy uncommon for Zelda games. Spirit Tracks had 3 different endings, but it didn't divulge into three separate timeline splits or anything. The likely answer for what will happen is there will be a base ending of the game, with the alternate ending having more information and content tacked onto the end of the base ending that wraps it up better.

I love games with choices or multiple endings!!!! This looks like a good idea, and I'm wondering how they're going to implement it into the game's plot.

This could be like Majora's Mask. That had two endings. A bad one if you failed and a good one if you meet certain criteria, like actually finish the game.

What if this alternate ending comes from beating Ganon without the Master Sword? Judging from Aonuma's comments about the game, I think this will be possible.

 

[FrozenDragon]

One alternate ending heavily implies that it'll be for purposes of completion, perhaps finishing all the Shrines and dungeons restores the Master Sword to it's full power, thus allowing Link to finish him for good?

While if you don't do that, perhaps they'll have to settle for sealing it.

?????? If you fail then it's game over. Game overs don't count as endings. You have to finish the game for it to be an ending.

No one said they can't. You either succeed at the game and get a good ending or you fail and get a bad ending. After the bad ending you reload your save and try again for the good ending.

It all matters on your opinion of things. I say they can be an ending. Others say they can't. I think it all matters of what each of our definition of an ending is.
Pro Tip: Neither of us is wrong, just different opinions.

I highly ****ing doubt that's what Nintendo meant. Jesus Christ this is some heavy reaching.
