Nintendo shocks fans at E3 2019 by officially confirming a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A cinematic trailer shows Link and Zelda exploring a dark dungeon where a familiar evil energy begins to spread, ultimately revealing a shriveled corpse that closely resembles Ganondorf.
The original Breath of the Wild launches as a Nintendo Switch title in 2017 and introduces a massive open-world format with survival elements, marking a significant departure from the classic dungeon-focused gameplay of previous entries.
