The Legend of Zelda
“There’s going to be a sequel to Breath of the Wild.” That’s pretty much all Nintendo had to say to “win” E3 2019, but they took it one step further and gave us a new trailer too. Oh, and the also awesome (but unfortunately overshadowed) Link’s Awakening is heating up the show right now as well.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks was featured at E3 2009, but the most exciting Zelda-related news at that conference came in the form of concept art for the upcoming Skyward Sword (although no title was provided at the time).
Skyward Sword eventually released in 2011, featured a non-linear world, and required the Wii MotionPlus to play. The critically acclaimed game also ended up as the basis for Breath of the Wild.
As producer Eiji Aonuma stated during the development of BOTW, the team’s primary goal was “to expand and make a better Skyward Sword.”
