‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2’ Release Date, Features, Other Rumored Details

Despite the lack of official confirmation or announcement from Nintendo, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2" is a heavily rumored and anticipated title. Most fans believe that the upcoming sequel will continue Link and Zelda's adventures and will definitely release on Nintendo Switch.

Here is a rundown of everything leaked and rumored about the game, including its possible release window, features, and other interesting details.

Release Date

In June 2019, a couple of years following the official launch of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," Japanese gaming giant Nintendo announced that it would make the game’s sequel. This announcement triggered speculations about its possible release window, most of it pointing to 2021.

A recent Nintendo of America job listing suggesting that a Nintendo Direct might be in the works once again revived speculations that "Breath of the Wild 2" might be unveiled at the said event. The official launch could include the announcement of the game’s official release date.

Gameplay, Features, And Game Modes

All solid information about the upcoming sequel stems from the trailer launched by Nintendo during E3 2019. In one of his previous interviews, Nintendo Video Game Designer Eiji Aonuma mentioned that the "Breath of the Wild 2" will introduce "profound novelties at the playable level." Based on the official teaser, "something evil" will be featured in the sequel. Apart from this, nothing is certain yet about the gameplay, features, or game modes.

There are also rumors that Nintendo might release the "Breath of the Wild 2" alongside the new Super Switch or Nintendo Switch Pro. This claim is based on the fact that when Switch was released, the first game, the "Breath of the Wild," was among the handful of titles available in the hybrid console. If this is the case, Nintendo is making a smart move beneficial not only to the new Switch model but also to its sequel.

Surely, Nintendo will announce more details about "Breath of the Wild 2" when it nears its launch date. For now, fans should temper their expectations and take these leaks and rumors with a grain of salt.
