To keep thing interesting , however , Breath of the Wild 2needs to give way off from the Zelda formula even more than its predecessor . The sequel take to do away with Ganon , to make its story and world even more engaging , and possibly terrifying .

The Legend of Zelda’s Best Villains Aren’t Ganon

Ganon , and his human avatar Ganondorf , might be the iconic baddie of the serial publication , but throughoutZelda’shistory , its good villain have n’t been him . Ganon is that prototypic force of evil hellbent on ruin the world , and while some games have added line to this , the smaller villains are the much more interesting single . The gonzo Ghirahim is deeply unsettling , Zant ’s wild mask is fabulously memorable , and   Skull Kid taunts and peck with Link as if it were a secret plan . All these part have interesting queerness that make them immediately memorable , and they provide different threats to Link than Ganon .

Ganon inBreath of the Wildis even less interesting than ever , as he ’s only known as the " Calamity . " It ’s possible thatBreath of the Wild 2could finally give more backstory on Ganon , but it ’d be a much better selection to just reduplicate - down on a brand new villain . A new scoundrel would allow the game ’s news report to go to tempestuous new places , separate from Hyrule . instead , an otherwordly threat could help change the face of Hyrule itself , lettingBreath of the Wild 2use the same assets as the first game but in an whole different agency .

The first trailer forBreath of the Wild 2showed a mummified corpse that most buff conceive to be Ganondorf , and while it most likely is , the clay could be reanimated by some other force . It ’d be an interesting tress to see a new scoundrel manipulate Ganondorf ’s corpse to their own whims . Somefan theoriesare already positing that there is some kind of outside force at play . The concept art ascertain in the trailer shows a hand seemingly sealing Ganon off , and some fans seem to think it could belong to someone from the Twilight Realm ofTwilight Princess .

Majora ’s Maskis widely regard as the weirdest Zelda game out there , both in term of gameplay and story , andBreath of the Wild 2could take a few cues . Just likeOcarina of TimetoMajora ’s Mask , Breath of the Wild 2will use the same engine and plus . Breath of the Wild 2will , no doubt , want to expand on the gameplay scheme fans bonk in the first biz , but it also involve to be ambitious and try new things . To capitalise on this ,   the subsequence should go off the rails with its stage setting and news report .

Based on initial impression , the biz seems to be doing this . In the trailer Link uses some kind of new magical power that seems to stimulate him pain . It could be something similar , in theory , to the mask system ofMajora ’s Mask ; a mystic powerfulness that transforms Link , at a price . There ’s an unsettling aura that lingers over everything inMajora ’s Mask , like everything is conversant but dissimilar at the same sentence . Almost like a nightmare based on something you know . breather of the Wild 2could succeed thematically by introduce those conversant elements , but putting an unsettling braid on everything .

This also applies to its independent baddie . An otherwordly terror , like Majora , would process much substantially than something that comes from within Hyrule . Majora adds an air of mystery to everything , something thatBreath of the Wild 2seems to be harnassing already .
