As a direct sequel, Breath of the Wild 2 will also be a part of this grand finale, so it’s fitting, then, that in the large scheme of The Legend of Zelda’s chronology everything starts and finishes with floating islands in the sky.

Breath of the Wild, set in the Timeline Convergence, was supposed to be the final chapter in the chronology, by reuniting all the different timelines.

This is particularly curious when we remember that Skyward Sword is the first adventure in The Legend of Zelda’s millenary timeline. It’s also worth noticing that another The Legend of Zelda game used the concept of islands in the sky: Skyward Sword, a remake of which will be released on the Nintendo Switch next month. The scenario teases Ganondorf’s destructive power but also opens the possibility for a lot of freedom, as it’s easier to use wind currents to wander around more efficiently. The new trailer shows us Link floating between islands in the sky, supposedly fragments of a destroyed Hyrule. The new trailer shows us Breath of the Wild 2 will keep faithful to this goal by increasing Link’s gliding capabilities. Link still has a lot of work to do.Īlthough Breath of the Wild was short on memorable temples and boss battles, there is no doubt the game amplified The Legend of Zelda’s sense of freedom by using an open world and giving the player the possibility to glide towards the horizon. Princess Zelda also falls into an abyss, which means that the battle is far from over in Breath of the Wild 2. In the new trailer, we get a clear shot of Ganondorf’s mummy, while we also see a dark cloud of energy spreading through Link’s arm. What’s worse, it looks like Link himself will be contaminated by Ganondorf’s evil influence. Destroying Calamity Ganon should mark the ultimate end of Link’s journey, as the final form of his ancient enemy is finally defeated.īy the presence of Ganondorf’s mummy, it seems like Calamity Ganon was just a manifestation of the dark energy that’s still emanating from the decaying body. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we are faced with Ganon’s ultimate form - Calamity Ganon -, a mass of dark energy that completely engulfs Hyrule Castle. The reveal was shocking, as the Prince of the Gerudos’ greed and rage is what feeds his monstrous form: Ganon. The first teaser for Breath of the Wild 2 showed us Link and Zelda exploring a subterranean temple, where they uncover what looks like Ganondorf’s mummy.
