Nintendo marketing pamphlet contains Breath of the Wild 2 blurb, Link and Zelda “deep within the caverns beneath Hyrule Castle”
Update: It’s been spotted that the pamphlet was first released towards the end of 2019, and was published by GamesRadar. We apologize for any confusion.
Original: Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was announced at E3 back in June 2019, but hasn’t been seen since then. While Nintendo only shared a brief trailer at the time, that was enough for plenty of fan speculation.
A big part of the video showcases Link and Zelda in an underground area. Many naturally assumed that the location was below Hyrule Castle, and this has now been spotted in an official Nintendo marketing pamphlet. According to that pamphlet, the two characters are “deep within” the caverns below the castle where “a new and powerful threat awakens.”
The Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 note states:
Finally, Link and Zelda return in the eagerly awaited successor to unforgettable action-adventure The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with series producer Eiji Aonuma promising a darker adventure this time. Deep within the caverns beneath Hyrule Castle, a new and powerful threat awakens. Can our courageous heroes save the kingdom again?
As for the bit about Breath of the Wild 2 being darker, series producer Eiji Aonuma touched on that very briefly a couple of years ago. Aonuma noted that the upcoming Switch title isn’t necessarily related to or inspired by Majora’s Mask, though what we saw in the trailer “is a little darker.”
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
