I understand that. My words are motivated by the last trailer and the comparison posted last page and it's funny how the first page of the thread still is valid. I wasn't a big fan of the original as everybody knows but as a long-time fan I must see, criticise everything that I don't like about the last entry and then just play the DLC sequel 😂.
Have any Zelda titles spoiled the game or gave away the plot? (note, I never played skyward, but I did see trailers).
This title would have spoiled a bit of botw. "Swords will break, but you can farm arrows & throw infinite bombs, badass weapons are in the castle.... my god, the castle is awesome!..of the Wild, ganon is bad."
@WoomyNNYes Usually they spoil mechanics or important characters, but do so vaguely. Ocarina of Time features an Ocarina as it's central mechanic, A Link Between Worlds reveals that there's 2 worlds you travel between, The Windwaker alludes to, well.. the Wind Waker. Twilight Princess is referring to Midna.
Then you have the games that reveal nothing about the game in it's title: Breath of the Wild, A Link to the Past, The Adventure of Link, etc.
It's safe to assume if they're hiding the name, it'll probably be akin to Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time's title scheme, for a mechanic or character they've yet to officially reveal.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
It might be called Wrath of the Wild because of the more obscure atmosphere and because now animals fight back instead of disappearing into thin air. Or Wrath of Zeus because there are even more storms so you can't climb anymore. Or The Lord of the Kings because the names of the places are now more directly inspired by The Lord of the Rings. Assassin's Link, Monster Hunter Hyrule... The possibilities are endless.
It's good that Link is left-handed, cause his right hand is all messed up, and then you'd have to wonder when he's beating the meat, if it's really him or Ganon doing it.

Oh, sure. If you look at the (makes sarcastic air quotes gesture) "words". Who even does that? Crazy people, mostly.😁😉
Touché @VoidofLight. You win this round. (you're very right )
“As for why we’re holding back on the name, you’ll just have to stay tuned because, obviously, Zelda names are kind of important. Those subtitles… they start to give little bits of hints about maybe what’s going to happen.”
@Dezzy Except, they do hint towards specific things in the games, or mechanics. For a lot of them, you do need context behind to understand, but BotW 2's title could be something that reveals a new mechanic or character who we've yet to see.

Link to the Past- maybe something about the past?
Ocarina of Time- maybe something about time, no-one yet knows what an ocarina is.
Majoras Mask - maybe something to do with a mask.
Links Awakening- 'awakening' is usually meant metaphorically so could be about anything.
Wind Waker- no idea what that means. dunno what a "waker" is.
Minish Cap- dunno what minish is, there are about 4 different meanings of the word 'cap'
Twilight Princess- could refer to anything, might be about Zelda. Which the 'Zelda' in the title already implies.
Skyward Sword- it might have something to do with the sky, which you could already see from trailers.
A Link Between Worlds- probably implies there's multiple worlds?
Breath of the Wild- it might be set in the wild, also already clear from the first trailer.
I think "A Link Between Worlds" is the only one that tells you something about the game that makes sense ahead of time! (they hadn't told us it would include the Dark World in the original trailer)
Yes, I had figured that out in the years since! But I'm pretty sure no-one had a clue what it was in 1998.
And I still have no idea what a "Waker" is exactly. Does that just mean anything that wakes something up, or is 'waker' literally the name of the conducting baton or something?
Well I was 8 so I didn’t know what an ocarina was. Specially not the ones shaped like that.
The waker in the wind waker name, I’m fairly certain it relates to the purpose of the item. It wakes the wind. Sounds nicer than wind baton, or wind control stick. It also leaves it open for the interpretation that the wind waker is Link himself, not only the item.
@BlueOcean i see your whole point, and despite having loved the first breath of the wild, i've had the impression that Aonuma and the team agreed with nintendo on showing a sky prevalent trailer to do easy marketing for skyward sword.
I'm sorry, i love nintendo, but at this point, with the quality of life improvements linked to amiibo and all the easy cash grab they do, i just tend expect this kind of things.
They are working on this sequel since the end of the dlcs from the first one, so of course the trailer isn't rapresentative of the scope of the game, as it wasn't with Galaxy2 and Majora's mask.
I trust them, but this trailer was clearly easy marketing for skyward sword, which i'm sorry, i'm not going to buy out of hype.
IMO as usual.
I keep getting into debates with people who believe Ganondorf was the ancient hero who sealed the Calamity 10,000 years prior to BotW. It's a common theory, but makes no sense what so ever from the stuff we know about Calamity Ganon, along with the stuff shown in the trailer. But they're stubborn and keep insisting that I'm wrong, despite the fact that I'm using actual evidence from Creating a Champion and the game itself.
