Nintendo ’s surpriseBreath of the Wild 2announcement led to dozens of speculation from fan , and one theory suggestsThe Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princessantagonist Zant could come back as the sequel ’s villain . Details in theBreath of the Wildsequel ’s E3 2019 trailerhint that the Twili Usurper King might follow back in Nintendo ’s second Switch 3DZeldagame .
After the success of their firstZeldagame on Switch , which has become one of thebest - sell Switch gamesto date , Breath of the Wild ’s developers had so many DLC idea that they decided to turn them into a full - vaned game . The sequel ’s first trailer revealed a much darker tone than the first , read Link and Zelda exploring hush-hush cavern to the tune of warped choral music . The turn of events fromBreath of the Wild ’s bright and colorful overworld to one of flighty caves and dungeons is reminiscent of the conversion fromOcarina of TimetoMajora ’s Maskand , more pertinently , fromWind WakertoTwilight Princess .

Shortly after the trailer was released , Reddit userReroFunkpointed out its music , especially when turn back , sounds eerily standardized to the music that plays after the last battle with Zant inTwilight Princess . Since this music only ever plays at that item in that specificZeldagame , theBreath of the Wild 2trailer ’s tune is tied closely to Zant , suggesting he could return in the sequel . Pinning an entireBreath of the Wild 2villaintheory on a few distorted melodious notes is n’t very compelling , however . Thankfully , there ’s more than just the music that points to a connexion with Zant and the Twili .
ManyBreath of the Wild 2theoriescenter around the origins of the green , spiritual hired hand in the prevue . It ’s find out hold down what looks like a mummified Ganondorf , as well as rescue Link and Zelda from a potentially deadly fall . These fact suggest it ’s an friend , but Link is also shown being overcome with a similar greenish magic trick , so it ’s undecipherable what the handwriting ’s motivation are . lover like ReroFunk think the hand could be connected to the Twilight Realm , asTwilight Princess’Twili citizenry use similar green magics . While this does n’t connect it straight to Zant - and while the hand could be some kind of Gerudo or Zonai conjuring trick , alternatively - the combination of green magic and Zant stem - corresponding music at least breaker point to some kind ofTwilight Princessconnection .
It might seem odd for a newZeldagame that ’s not a direct sequel to have continuity with a specific former entry in the serial , butBreath of the Wild 2is in a unique position to do so . intimation of the Wild ’s timeline placementofficially puts it at the end of all threeZeldatimeline outgrowth , meaning there ’s passel of way for substance from older game to show up . In fact , the firstBreath of the Wildalready set a precedent for this . TheGreat Leviathan Skeletonsseem to cite biz from each of the three timeline ramification , and there are even two specific references toTwilight Princess : At one point , Zelda mentions the"glowing embers of twilight,“and a Shrine quest has players hunting for pieces of what appear to beTwilight Princess’Mirror of Twilight . Perhaps Link and Zelda will terminate up traveling to the Twilight Realm itself inBreath of the Wild 2 , or mayhap the Twilight Realm will somehow cross over with Hyrule and change its landscape .
