The first would be directly following the first Breath of the Wild. There are a few likely routes that The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild 2 could pick up from following the events of previous games. Things as we left them in Hyrule How are things looking after the last two The Legend of Zelda games in the Breath of the Wild universe and leading up to BOTW 2? If you don’t wish to be spoiled on either or both, do not read ahead.

SPOILER ALERT!: This article contains major story spoilers for both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Will Age of Calamity’s storyline… or rather… split of timelines have consequences in BOTW2? Age of Calamity was, and even if some details are shaky, its narrative under the guiding hands of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi could mean very interesting things for the sequel. That said, while many ponder what Nintendo will do with factors like Princess Zelda, Ganon, Link, weapon durability, and all sorts of other topics, I found myself considering something else after the last reveal: Breath of the Wild wasn’t the last Zelda story designed by Nintendo. It’s likely Link at the front and center, but we haven’t even seen his face, and despite the events of the first game, the second seems to have a lot of narrative elements up in the air… literally in some cases.

There are all sorts of questions about where The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 will go with the story.
