As long as Link finally get to boink Zelda in this installment. I don't even care if it is some PG-version of it like Cloud and Tifa in FF7, this game needs a climax!
Climax, huh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Link bout to climax.
The last 3 console Zeldas have all been delayed. If BOTW2 launches in 2020 I will be shocked.
Unless they plan to launch Mario Kart 9 instead (i guess we all know how likely that is^^) in next year holiday season, they should really push the developement and move more people towards it to ensure an holiday 2020 release.
Imagine if Link finally speaks in this game. Reminds me of when Jak spoke for the first time. It blew my mind.
I’m not counting on it. Will continue to expect 2021. And that’s okay. Not because I don’t want to play it yet, but because I want it to be as good as the first game. Nintendo may take it’s time creating yet another masterpiece. Knowing the Zelda team though, I’m confident they will. :-)
OMG hopefully, but it wouldn't shock me if they end up delaying it to March 2021.
Does not surprise me at all. They've already built the engine which is a good chunk of development, and I assume that they probably started development of this shortly after BotW released.
Seems possible. They need to counter act PS5 launch in one way or another.
I still need to play the original, so fine by me.
