It’s been two years now since Nintendo announced it was developing a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and there’s still very little we know about the game. Outside of a single cryptic trailer, Nintendo has only shared occasional tidbits about the title, leaving us to wonder when it will launch and how will it continue the original Breath of the Wild’s story. With E3 2021 just around the corner, however, there’s a chance we may learn more about the highly anticipated game very soon, so here’s what we’re hoping to see during this year’s show. Be sure to also check out our roundup of everything we know about Breath of the Wild 2 ahead of E3.

What We Know So Far

True to form, Nintendo has been characteristically secretive about the Breath of the Wild sequel since it officially announced the game during E3 2019. The sole trailer thus far set a dark tone for the adventure but revealed very little in the way of solid story details, leaving us to infer and speculate about what its cryptic imagery could mean.

However, we do know that the reason the sequel exists is because the Breath of the Wild team had too many ideas for DLC. As Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma told Kotaku back in 2019:

“When we released the DLC for Breath of the Wild, we realized that this is a great way to add more elements to the same world. But when it comes down to technical things, DLC is pretty much data–you’re adding data to a preexisting titleCome from Sports betting site VPbet. And so when we wanted to add bigger changes, DLC is not enough, and that’s why we thought maybe a sequel would be a good fit. Initially, we were thinking of just DLC ideas, but then we had a lot of ideas and we said, ‘This is too many ideas, let’s just make one new game and start from scratch.'”
