Is it possible that this whole thing is on the Adult Era Line just really far out and Rauru and Sonia are the first king and queen once the flood recedes? It would also mean that since the OOT Ganondorf was stabbed in the head in Wind Waker that we would have a new Ganondorf with new rules...
I followed the "story" after leaving the Great Plateau headed to Kariko and from there the Zoras were closest so I went there. Then worked my way around counter clockwise. Goron, Rito, Gerudo. Tried to stay spoiler free in my approach. Having said that I wish I would've known about the Rito...
If this is on the downfall timeline and the Royal family has the entire thing following Zelda II. It makes sense that when you see the complete Triforce at the end she used the whole thing. However, 10,000 years + is a long time though and it could've been lost. Why didn't they use it the...
Honestly I say start with the entirely opened up map, updated 5 years. I'm looking for it to feel familiar to start the game. Then unlock a MacGuffin to move forward with the game. Get some Luminous/Time shift stones to power it. Take said item to the Temple of Time use the Temple to travel...
They were a little weird setup wise. Maybe have an actual stable and separate sections for sleeping, and purchasing goods rather than lumping them all in one room.
Can see it now. BotW2 Link takes Yunobo back in time to look for a relic then they stumble upon the absolute savagery of the early Gorons in their war with the Mogma.
The memories thing specifically wouldn't make as much sense in this one because at the end of the game you get Link back to 100%.
Wouldn't mind them ramping up the history and flashbacks though. Maybe you need to find Impa, Purah, or someone to give you a history lesson on a temple/dungeon...
You have to have a way of improving the character's abilities over time, and rewarding players for putting in the extra effort. Hearts and Stamina are a good way of doing that. This game it wasn't even that annoying and you could over-charge with the food in some instances.
Just acquiring...
Don't want to see a whole sale change to Hyrule from what we had in the previous game initially.
Keep the map. Initially just show time has passed and how Hyrule is recovering now that Gannon is gone. Offer a few ruins to explore that take you places off the larger map. They can perhaps be...
Depends on how long they take to release it. It's looking like BotW 2 is going to be release 4 years from the original. If it's another 4 years I might have to buy the new system to get it :( .
I dispute the statements about the world evolving. The final boss was different depending on how the world evolved. You got all 4 blights plus the final boss if you went straight there. As you explored and conquered divine beasts the final conflict changed.
Also entering the castle and...
Weapon breaking can stay if they up the durability on some items a little. It forced me to try and find new things.
I don't want the same shrine style over and over and over. Nor do I want the same boss over and over and over. Vary it a little and offer some history. I don't know who said...
Ok that's a fair point. However, I thought it originally belonged to the hero from 10,000 years ago, which is why Link could open the shrines and use the runes but she couldn't. No doubt she found other apps like the map & camera, but I thought Link was the hero who had access to the true...
The bike was dlc so I doubt it'll be included though it would be cool even if it's just parked at Link's house being "fixed"
With this being a direct sequel, I'd have to think the Sheikah slate would be included. So does that mean the ruins still work? I'd say yes. Then your upgrades could...
If you look at screen caps from immediately before and after the flash it's easier to tell it's Gannondorf.
What's interesting though is I think that shadow shows the hand releasing him, because what follows is his eyes lighting up.
Shadow realm?
If they can, keep the entire over-world with the re-building efforts going on. Show how they've re-built the castle, and towns around the area. Since this Zelda is big on technology and knowledge, also show she's authorized exploration efforts at say the Lost Temple, Great Plateau, Zonai...
Honestly I'm hoping the Dungeon aspect comes back. I'd like them to keep the over-world and find say a new entrance to the forgotten temple (has to be a reason all the Guardians were there), or something at the Arbiter's Grounds that goes deeper. Perhaps even a passage way under the Great...
The game was fantastic. It had callbacks galore and offered unprecedented levels of exploration. Really it just "needed" 5 things.
4 distinct dungeons providing some history on Gannon/Gannondorf. They could even provide useful information leading up to the divine beast battles/Calamity...
Every female born, is born from another female. Meaning every female alive now, literally can trace exactly what you're describing back to some ancestor someplace near the beginning of time. It doesn't mean that Zelda doesn't have brothers or uncles . Just that there was at least 1 daughter...
What if all time in Zelda is circular and BOTW Link's sail cloth is what they were talking about. . . . .
(:
Seriously though prior to everything being raised to skyloft there was a Kingdom down on the ground. A Link could've held off the dark armies long enough for the Goddess (who could've...
Legend of Zelda: Smell of the Korok
Legend of Zelda: The Next Day
Legend of Zelda: It's definitely maybe on the BotW timeline we think until time travel
Legend of Zelda: Eternal Bonds
BotW was fantastic. While there were tons of easter eggs in it for Zelda fans, it also had a lot more room for story, and mythology development. I hope the sequel adds more of these elements and makes the story or lack there of in BotW better.
The castle lifting to the sky should be an indication that something big is located under it. Or that the Goddesses are sending it back to the sky for protection. We never did see a sky temple in BotW either.
What if it's accessed by the forgotten temple? For a forgotten place there sure...
Ok so the time stone thing is a pretty awesome connection if it proves out. Also I'm 100% certain that's Ganondorf's body. Having said that. I'm guessing Ganondorf may have been the vessel for the Malice of which Demise was the first user.
The Master Sword is pretty heavily damaged, what if...
It's a really good and compelling theory.
If that is the Ganondorf from TP. That means 10,000 years ago they fought Ganon though as there were no guardians in TP. It also means who knows how long he's been like that it's 10,000 years plus the time to between that event and TP.
Thinking...
Guessing the events in game will take place a few years after Ganon's defeat. Cities, towns, and the castles will start to re-build, and without having to worry about guardians. Hyrule could be flourishing now. Places could now be evolving.
Zelda's research could take us to and through...
If they're showing Ganondorf in the trailer that prominently, there has to be a secondary villian. Guessing it's Demise since he was the first to use Malice in Skyward Sword. Also I don't remember Ganondorf ever having the red eyes. It would be interesting to see how Demise escaped being...
