This information comes from an interview between IGN and Nintendo Treehouse’s Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff. According to the Nintendo Treehouse representatives, the new entry inThe Legend of Zeldaseries currently uses the subtitle “Breath of the Wild 2”,but the game will have its own unique title. IGN quotes Bill Trinen as saying, “As for why we’re holding back on the name, you’ll just have to stay tuned because, obviously, Zelda names are kind of important.” It seems like Nintendo wishes to create an air of mystery around this highly anticipated game, as it has already been discovered thatThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2’s new trailer has a hidden secret.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2new trailer is mysteriousand raises more questions about the game’s narrative than it answers. It certainly seems like Nintendo is holding back as much information as possible to allow for more surprises about the game. In a way, the originalThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwas a rare case of aLegend of Zeldagame’s subtitle not referencing a key part of the game in its title. Previous titles have referenced key items in the game, such as The Ocarina of Time and The Windwaker, or key figures like Majora’s Mask or Twilight Princess. So, ifThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2is returning to this convention, it makes sense that Nintendo is keeping it quiet for now.
Unfortunately, it seems that the naming convention is not the only concept Nintendo is using again. AsThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2looks to place Princess Zelda in need of rescueonce more. However, it does seem like Nintendo really cares about the story it wishes to tell with this game, and maybe they will seek to surprise fans with Zelda’s role in the story.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2is coming to the Nintendo Switch sometime in 2022.
