Support NeoGAF

[GigaBowser]

Yes it's all true my friends. Look at that thing she is holding in her hands, look at that box. Take to the skies, land and the cavernous undergrounds in the open world sequel to Breath of The Wild, Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom. You heard it here first.

 

[TikiLagoonSam]

I’m game. I hope we play as Ganondorf too in some capacity at the end a là Bowser in Mario Odyssey.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I think I am Nostradamus... I predicted this fact, even it is my dream come true.

 

[ADiTAR]

It's not new for Nintendo to have two worlds being explored at the same time.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

This would have been very interesting with the “asymmetrical gameplay” philosophy of the WiiU.
This game may have a few surprises up its sleeve, but I guess the “it’s just DLC“ narrative will be hard to shake off.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Not gonna get me to buy day 1... but it's a good idea. Will look forward to playing through this sometime next year, probably.

 

[BlackTron]

The preview in the cave from way back made it easy to speculate that BOTW 2 would get 2 player co op mode and add Zelda. Not having seen anything else to indicate Zelda, 2 player or even the dungeon-like area they were in got a bit concerning.

This one tweet made me more intrigued with the game than the more recent trailers. I just wish it was coming out on better hardware already

 

[Chukhopops]

I hope so but I don’t see how this tweet confirms anything about playable Zelda. She knows how to use the Sheikah slate because she found it in the first place and uses it in the BotW flashbacks.

So it could be simply cutscenes with her using it in the future.

 

[Kamina]

That image has been tweeted in Japan weeks ago.
It may be a hint, or it maybe isnt.

We will see.

 

[Moses85]

Hopefully this is Fake

 

[Sleepwalker]

Why did I know exactly who was the OP just by reading the title? Lol

 

[shiru]

This was hinted in the last trailer. Representation whiners may have got their wish it seems.

 

[cormack12]

That's a non binary link.

In seriousness I haven't watched the trailer, could it be that they just allow you to play as a female link?

 

[Robb]

If they’re going to bother making Zelda playable she better feel like a unique character and not just ‘female Link’.

 

[Pejo]

Am I missing something, her left hand has the slate thing, it's not a sword or anything. What exactly about this tweet confirms playable Zelda?

 

[ADiTAR]

In BotW Link used the Sheika slate as a gameplay device.

 

[lh032]

Link will be dead and replaced by Zelda, Zelda going to save her lover Ganon and live happily after.

 

[Pejo]

In BotW Link used the Sheika slate as a gameplay device.

I know it's a gameplay device, I just don't see why the tweet indicates she's playable. She's not even using it in the pic, she's just holding it and looking at something up to the left.

 

[Monad]

You'll finally be able to say you've played Zelda.

Like, the real Zelda.

 

[ADiTAR]

I didn't say I think she's playable, plus, she also used it in BotW in the cutscenes. So who knows.

 

[TonyK]

At last my character will talk when asked something.

 

[Beer Baelly]

But I want to play with a female Link!

 

[Knightime_X]

Zelda be playing Pokémon Go.
Gotta go dungeon crawling to find mfing pikachu.

 

[cireza]

She is holding a Wii U Gamepad. Wii U version confirmed.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

i cant wait to play as him

 

[systemr123]

She’s holding a Switch 2. You’ve heard it here first! But really it’s probably just marketing for a switch with a Zelda skin

 

[GymWolf]

This change everything.

 

[Beer Baelly]

This change everything.

Yes, this transcends all my expectations.

 

[Germuso]

Someone has to clean hyrule

 

[Alexios]

She gets the tablet in the ending of botw (and has it first in the various flashback scenes of course) where she wasn't playable. Why wouldn't she have it still in the direct sequel?

 

[anthony2690]

What am I missing?

She just has a limited edition switch in her hand.

Maybe she is controlling link in tears of the kingdom game?

Who knows.

 

[Synless]

They made sure to lop off half of her hair first because she couldn’t save the world and have long, feminine hair.

Link’s hair is longer at this point.

 

[KXVXII9X]

I freaking called it from the first trailer!!! There were so many clues. Especially with Link taking to the Skies and Zelda always falling underneath. I suspected them both having asynchronous adventures opposite of each other. Plus Zelda is a very capable fighter and since her and Link were exploring together in the first trailer, I suspected it was an adventure they would BOTH be on.

I really hope I'm right.

 

[The Cockatrice]

We already knew Link was getting pegged.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Time to put Ganon back in chains

 

[Teletraan1]

Times are changing. Hyrulian ladies can do stuff now. And you are going to have to deal with that.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Or it's just promo art. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Spaceman292]

But I want to play with a female Link!

I want to play with a Link that looks female! But isn't

 

[Captain Toad]

They're tricking you. "What's that she's holding in her left hand?"

"It's a special edition Switch Lite. Only $249!"

 

[.Pennywise]

Nintendo fans are the most easy pleasing creatures on Earth.

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean... I wouldn't care either way.

But I don't think this means what you think it means

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Aww yeah, baby!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Wait you mean the main character isn't called Zelda?!

 

[Guilty_AI]

the real question is, will DESTINY get nerfed?

 

[nightmare-slain]

if we can play as her then cool. if not then whatever. most likely we'll only get to play as her during at certain parts of the story. could be multiple times across the game or just the one time.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Join Zelda in a brand new Adventure as she journeys to Hyrule’s last remaining GameStop, in hope of getting 150 Rupees for her old ass custom Switch.

#Princessesdontwant720p

 

[Shut0wen]

Id bet £20 quid shes only playable through the main dungeons

 

[nightmare-slain]

Id bet £20 quid shes only playable through the main dungeons

thats a safe bet. if she is playable it'll only be at certain points in the game like dungeons for example.

there are rumors of zelda being a ghost (i don't know how much there is to back it up) so maybe Link can summon her ghost in dungeons or some shit?

 

[adamsapple]

Isn't zelda the dude with the sword and the tunic? I thought the entire series was about him.

 

[Astral Dog]

But i thought you already played as Zelda in all of the games
