This is "Breath of the Wild 2." It's the same Link in the same time period, just older. Nintendo hasn't used numbered sequels for the series since Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.So was BOTW2 never an official thing? This certainly looks like the successor.
Nintendo can send out a turd in a case and people will claim it is the greatest game ever created.I tend to agree the previews are underwhelming. However, since Breath of the Wild probably pushed the technical capabilities of the Switch as far as they can go in terms of graphics, it is inevitable that this game will give expansion vibes. They clearly are not reinventing the wheel for this game. Nor can they considering the CPU/GPU we are stuck with. We are basically stuck at Wii U level graphics. Nintendo has had this problem for ages. They are just behind on raw CPU/GPU. Zelda always suffers the most from this deficit, because it is the game that relies the most heavily on outdoor environments and foliage, ect, the things that are the most difficult to render.
The previews usually undersell the game because the raw visuals aren't up to modern standards. If you treat it like a very large expansion of BotW, your expectations will probably be exceeded. I don't think we'll see a significantly improved Zelda until the next console gen and probably not for several years. Nor did I really want them to toss aside all that they built for Breath of the Wild on Switch. I'd rather get more BotW now then have them tie their next Zelda game to the Switch. That can wait for the next console.
I suspect that this will be the last 3D Zelda game to launch on Switch, with the exception of a remaster of Twilight Princess and/or Windwaker., which has not been announced but which I predict will happen.
Thanks to metacritic, that's basically every game that comes out exclusive to some platform. Some very medicre games getting 80+ scores. 80+ is near perfection...Nintendo can send out a turd in a case and people will claim it is the greatest game ever created.
There's going to be a 10min gameplay presentation tomorrow, starting at 7AM pacific according to this article

Yea looking to be the same trash as BotW.I’m sure it’s gonna be a great game, but I didn’t love seeing that weapon durability is still a thing, and now we have to worry about battery levels with those self-made machines?
I loved BotW personally, but the durability mechanics got old really fast. Even the ancient weapons, which aren't easy to acquire broke way too fast.Yea looking to be the same trash as BotW.
Yes. The switch was 3 year old out dated tech when it was released. It is going to have sub 30 fps most the time also I am sure.good Lord were the graphics always this bad?...the shimmering and low-res textures in that new video are blinding me

It is nothing special.
gameplay must really be something special to overcome those dated graphics...the foliage looks terrible
It's something that only Nintendo can get away with. In a way it's charming because it lends to that nostalgic Nintendo feeling IMO. No one turns to Nintendo for graphics, it's just not expected. Despite this, I think they create very appealing visuals.

I'm all for next gen graphics, I'm building a pc right now with a 7900XTX, but the Switch gets a ton of play in our house because it's just plain fun.
Hey if anything the past 3 years has taught us is that a large group of people can be wrong.Meh. Great for those that are fans of the series and that loved BOTW. I still cannot see how BOTW got the praise it did.
FWIW, when my girlfriend first saw me playing BOTW (I just played it for the first time recently), she was not impressed, but as she saw more and more she admit to me that her initial impression was completely wrong and she felt like it was a truly amazing game. The graphics are really easy to get past once you immerse yourself.I wasn't expecting it to look like a high end PC or PS5 level of graphics but I also wasn't expecting it to look like an Atari 2600...but Nintendo must be doing something right as the Zelda series is one of the most highly rated and best selling games of all time
You see the weapons breaking in the new videos.I'll most likely play it, though it really doesn't look much different than the original game. The weapon fusing is kinda cool, but will we get a way to repair our cool fused weapons now, or will they just break easily again like last time?
at the very least if you have a good weapon and once its durability is about done, fuse it with something to get back durability and increased damage it sounded like. total speculation but eventually it would still break I'm guessing. but seems like a cool feature, will be interesting to see all the different fused weapons people come up with..I'll most likely play it, though it really doesn't look much different than the original game.

There are probably limits how many times you can fuse a weapon.at the very least if you have a good weapon and once its durability is about done, fuse it with something to get back durability and increased damage it sounded like. total speculation but eventually it would still break I'm guessing. but seems like a cool feature, will be interesting to see all the different fused weapons people come up with..
I realize that, my question was if we might get some sort of repair ability in this game. IIRC the last one had a way to repair but it was such a pain in the ass it was easier to just re-farm whatever weapon you wanted.You see the weapons breaking in the new videos.
Printing money. This game will sell very good. When they do eventually release an upgraded Switch, they can easily re-release these games with better graphics and rake the money in.
This should have been released on switch2, what is nintendo doing.
Curious as to whether we are getting proper dungeons this time.
