“As for why we’re holding back on the name, you’ll just have to stay tuned because, obviously, Zelda names are kind of important,” Trinen said. “Those subtitles… they start to give little bits of hints about maybe what’s going to happen.”
He added: “[Breath of the Wild 2] is going to be shorthand and it’s natural for people to want to find a shorthand way to frame it. We’re still calling it the sequel to Breath of the Wild.”
Breath of the Wild 2 is slated to release in 2022 for Nintendo Switch. During Nintendo’s E3 2021 briefing, the company revealed a new trailer for the game that may contain some clues about what to expect.
