10 Best Games Announced At E3 2019
3. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2
Wow, this one really came out of nowhere.
We knew there was a new Legend Of Zelda coming soon, but we all had our eyes on Link’s Awakening. However, the Nintendo Direct at E3 revealed a direct sequel to Breath Of The Wild is underway, which came as a complete surprise to pretty much everyone.
None of the leaks predicted it, and despite it being a mere footnote on the Nintendo Direct, it’s become one of the main talking points.
Zelda games don’t typically get sequels, just follow-up releases which keep the better aspects of older titles and add new features. In keeping with the Nintendo connection, it’s a little like Pokémon where every game is a new, clear cut story but heavily influenced by its predecessor.
To go in this direction shows the faith Nintendo has in Breath Of The Wild’s potential.
It can't break the very top of this list, however, seeing as we know next to nothing about it. But after Breath Of The Wild reinvented Zelda and was the Nintendo Switch’s first killer app, it’ll be many people’s main takeaway from the show, even amidst all the trailers and footage for more finished games.
