Nintendo's E3 2019 video presentation had plenty going for it, what with a handful of new game announcements and confirmations, including The Witcher 3, a first proper look into the next Animal Crossing and the confirmation of No More Heroes 3. Yet, as with all Nintendo presentations, there's always that 'one more thing' to look forward to.

Sure, they could have just wrapped it up with a certain Bird and Bear, but Nintendo has a knack for pulling off the unexpected. That certainly rang true here, as the Nintendo Direct came to a close with dark and somewhat disturbing look into the future of Link and Zelda.

Breath of the Wild 2 is still in early development, but the fact that Nintendo even considered showing anything of it so far from launch is testament to how important the hype train can be in drumming up fan support.
