Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is coming 2022

Nintendo released a brand new trailer for the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 which is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2022.

We have been waiting quite some time for the game to arrive on the system since it first made it’s debut a few years back, so it’s great to see a new trailer. It will be released next year and will enable players to explore above the clouds.

The Skies Above

Return to Hyrule – and the skies above – in this first look at gameplay for the Sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, planned for release on #NintendoSwitch in 2022.

The trailer gives little away, it clearly shows that at least part of the game will take place in the skies above Hyrule à la Skyward Sword. In addition, it looks like we’ll have a new tool, as Link is shown wearing some kind of device attached to his arm that grants him new powers. Or is he merged or fused with something?

Maybe it is some Shiekah hardware they stumbled upon, but that remains to be seen. Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma didn’t reveal any new details about the game in his time in front of the camera, so we only have the trailer to go on and guess what it is we are seeing.

Playing as Zelda seems a no go

Unfortunately, it looks like those of you who were hoping to play as Zelda in this game might not get their wish – all of the gameplay is Link only. And to make things worse for this we see Zelda falling into a dark abyss. That suggests that Zelda and Link get separated at some point in time on, with Link embarking upon another quest to save the princess in this Breath of the Wild sequel.
