People have been having a field day when it comes to creating Breath of the Wild 2 leaks, with title guesses ranging from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Evil to The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Past. We've had rumoured release dates that have come and gone, time and time again, and dates for Nintendo Directs that failed to materialise. We've grown tired of leaks, but we'll never grow tired of people trying to make up believable Zelda game titles.
The latest "leak", from 4Chan, promises a February 3rd Direct centered around first-party games, with news on playable Wario in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, a new Donkey Kong game, a new Kirby game, a new WarioWare game, an HD re-release of Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Rayman in Smash. The final "and we have one more thing to show you..." game will be the much-awaited Metroid Prime 4. Apparently.
When it comes to Zelda, though, the new title is apparently "The Legend of Zelda: Shadows of the Lost", which we like much less than "Echoes of the Past". Still, it's better than "Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland", isn't it?
We can guess that Nintendo probably won't call the long-awaited sequel "Breath of the Wild 2", although that certainly didn't stop them naming the Splatoon sequel "Splatoon 2", and not "New Squid Revenge HD U" or something. Leakers and fakers alike seem to enjoy trying to guess at what Nintendo might have planned for the title of Link's new adventure, but we just won't know for sure if any of them nailed it until Nintendo tells us themselves.
Do you have any guesses for the title, or are you fine with "Breath of the Wild 2"? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

"Availble" huh?
Botw2 is still a good name.
@DoctorYoghurt It's so interesting that some people take their time to make a fake leak but than screw up because of a spelling mistake. It was the same with the fake leak from some weeks ago which spelled "softwar" instead of "software"
They really should start to double check their "leaks" before they post them
Can “Blurry Fake Screenshots” or “BFS” please be the official working title from now on?
Actually like the name though. Think it’s a bit better than Echos of the Past
I like the title Breath of Evil I saw in another leak. A nice parallel to Breath of the Wild
@DoctorYoghurt
Mssng out lttrs sves on prntng csts. Econmcs, my dear fiend.
BOTW: Shadows Held In Time.. (the acronym works nicely too...).
Going to all this effort, yet spelling things wrong and leaving letters filled in white instead of making them transparent is a whole new level of fail.
Yet they still manage to get an article on NL. Not a great editorial decision guys... can you at least only go with the vaguely credible fake leaks?!
How about legend of Zelda: DELUXE breathing of wild??
Crash Bandicoot is surely ahead of the queue to be in Smash over Rayman
“Crash in Smash” writes itself
Well one thing is for sure, I am not a fan of The Legend Of Zelda's Morning Breath
They didn’t even try with the font...
All the fake leaks always go for the trending character. Smash 4 ALWAYS had Shadow, Ridley, Chrom, Majora, and Rhythm Heaven. This year it's Dante, Crash, Doomguy, Master Chief and Rayman.
At least TRY to be unpredictable like smash always does geez
It will be Botw2
@nocdaes Naah these are kinda fun considering nothing like a full Direct seems to be coming anytime soon. Keeps the community engaged.
@ManInTheChair Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 is gonna be named Legend of Zelda the Broken Kingdom.
@San_D If you say so... There I was thinking Mario 3D World, Bravely Default 2 and Monster Hunter Rise was a strong start to the year and I am happy to wait for news!
@San_D I agree
@Boogaloo_Jenkins
"The Legend of Zelda: That's Some Wild Breathing, Dude. 😜"
Super Breath of the Ocarina, the Waker of the Twilight Cap and the Phantom Spirit of the Mask between Past Worlds in the Age of Another Prime M and Knuckles featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series with all new Funky Crossbow Mode, Game of the Warmastered Deathinitive Yorha Edition S # FE Encore
Wait, people still trust 4chan?
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilder
The font on the October 15 is so clearly wrong
@nocdaes There could be people who are not interested in these?
....well I'm convinced, when can I preorder?
Might as well be named "The Legend of Zelda: Breathe, You'll buy it and love it no matter what we name it, which is Wild"
TLOZ BOTW Caverns of Dawnfell Past
Bottom line is......they don’t seem to do directs anymore!
The Legend of Zelda: Girls gone Wild
@PBandSmelly I wouldn't exactly call Byleth unpredictable, they follow the trend of new Fire Emblem character coming to Smash whenever a new game comes. Out of the last 20 years of Fire Emblem, only 2 new games (not counting remakes) haven't had a Smash character attached (Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones) and both of those games were released when Melee was still the newest Smash game.
LoZ: Breath of Captivity.
Although anything will be better than: Links Crossbow Training 2
That's the worst S I've seen photoshopped in a long time.
I imagine the game will be a take on the title of the first game like 'Depths of the World' or 'Breath of the Deep' but something better.
'Shadows of the Lost' has no consistancy with font size and tracking. Safe to say it's fake lol. Shame. I didn't mind the name.
The Legend of Zelda: Girls gone Wild
@Yanina Are you saying that you will be making an appearance in this game?
Zelda Breath of the Dungeon Crawl: Gold Editon DX
i think it would make sense to have Dark Realm in the title
@Robzilla The Legend of Zelda: Blur of the Fakes
The Legend of Zelda: Whispers in The Dark
Also:
availble
Damn leaker mispelled the leak
TLOZ: Call of the Night
TLOZ: Shadows of the Sacred (see this freaky scene from Twilight Princess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McKddLtjpUo)
I surmise that this game is supposed to act as the Majora's Mask or even Adventure of Link counterpart to BOTW (is that Ganondorf's corpse in the cutscene we have viewed?) The dark, mystical tone is evident in what we have so far, and one way to astound people again while saving on resources is by doubling the map, as LTTP did. It's about time we heard something more out of the "Sacred Realm" part of the story, anyway.
"Still, it's better than "Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland", isn't it?"
No. No it is not.
this is funny to read. I just hope the real name won't be cringey
I think Arlo's guesses of "Breath of the Void" and "Breath of Malice" were good. It's not like they'd make any less sense than Breath of the Wild.
Could be [Something] of the Wild instead, of course.
Decent try, but the title font below Zelda looks a little fishy.
We all know the next Zelda will be inspired by Smash ultimate and combine everything from all previous Zelda games. It will have time travel, young and adult link, season control (and I'm not refering to using rock salt when cooking), a Minish cap, four sword, the master sword, Ganon, Vaati, Demise.
The name will probably be something like The legend of Link (and Zelda): Ocarina of the four skyward wind between world to the past of age and seasons
The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroines - lol, i'd love it tho
Featuring, Paya, Zelda, Divine Spirit Mipha - fast swap between them, their different abilities couple up to solve puzzles, traverse environments, etc. You unlock Link 3/4 thru the journey and or in a post game, new game+ mode.
@mariomaster96 #SoftWar #WeAreDoomed
The nuclear softwar has begun ;D
Dear fake leakers, spellcheck is a thing. I know spellcheck is not fool-proof but I'd bet dollars to donuts that it would catch the misspelling of "available".
you know it's not every day that someone takes the time to open up photoshop, so we really have to celebrate it every time.
C'mon guys its time to Critique that Leak!
@CoastersPaul Death of the wild
Can we just stop with this? You are not Nintendo. The internet has been a bad place for all these 100% false rumors such as this one. Not amused here
@COVIDberry In the homebrew version yeah.
@Yanina You know, if you had just provided this reason in all those "Nintendo's IP!" and "copyright" debates, you could have shut down all the arguments ages ago!
Kakashi: The Search for Tingle
@Menardi I think you're being a bit cynical. I understand that BOTW was an E10 for the ESRB, and Age of Calamity a T, but I think we can trust Nintendo not to escalate this to an "AO" for the next one. Plenty of other games around to let you "search for tingle"...
...
@PhilKenSebben I knew someone would disagree
4chan. Lol. Clearly reliable
@San_D Don't get me wrong, I'm after BotW2 and MP4 news as much as the next person, but half the fun is knowing they are in development and waiting for that moment when you finally get to play!
I think Nintendo's start to 2021 does cover a lot of bases... open world adventure, platformer, rpg... It's a strong start.
Let's admit it once and for all: there won't be more big Directs, as we used to know them.
There will be partner and indie showcases,
and specialized Directs, but that's about it. The sooner we are aware of that, the better.
It's always gotta be edgy with these fake names.
Legend of Zelda Breath of Linkles Past.
You Play as Zelda as she searches for links former flame (Linkle) to end her Jerry Springer Style as hoards of monster's commanded by the true Demon King and puppet master Tingle, fight to end the life's of Maple, Moosh, and Ricky.
The next three will be "Breath of the Thing," "Breath of the Heart," and "Breath of the Sing."
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Tame
I'd rather it be called something like Legend of Zelda: Hyrule's Shadow
Breath of the Wild 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm sure the comment section is full of the same sentiment but that's a terrible name. Then again so was "breath of the wild"
There are just... So many things wrong with this leak, it's almost as if it was trying to be part of an art gallery of fake leaks. I'm not even going to bother listing it out.
@KateGray You made an awesome title. Its your own fault.
It's not gonna be BotW 2. People thought that Majora's Mask would be Ocarina of Time 2, and people were sure that the game after Twilight Princess would be Twilight Princess 2. Can't these dumbo's learn? IT'S NOT GONNA BE BOTW 2! This should be added to Gannon-Banned.
Here's my five cents, completely random guess for the name: The Legend of Zelda: Seal of Shadow
Sequel is about Link's drug problems:
Meth of the Wild
Or about his and Zelda's big baby:
Heft of the Child
(I'll get my own coat, etc)
@nocdaes Hold on, Bravely Default 2 and Monster Hunter Rise are not Nintendo games. Nintendo only has Super Mario 3D World announced with a date. If you are talking from the players' perspective that they have a lot to look forward to in general - then okay, provided they are interested in any of these titles or the other ones like Hitman 3. I personally am not interested in any of those (don't like time limited levels of 3D World, BD2's demo was atrocious enough for me, don't like Monster Hunter as a series and the Rise demo didn't seem much different). Still does not take away from the fun of reading about these badly done "leaks".
Plot twist: It'll be called Link's Crossbow Training 2 with a Breath of the Wild art style.
Jesus these fake titles couldn't be more clichéd and predictable.
Try harder please.
I was thinking the other day that the logo probably will be black since it's supposed to be the darkest Zelda. But why do these fake names always include "...of the..."? What about Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, Triforce Heroes, Four Swords Adventures, Skyward Sword, Oracle of ages/Seasons etc.
So many Zelda games without the "...of the..." part that always deems these fake for me
Lol, that su#@*s.
Legend of zelda: Ganondorf dragmire the immortal hero.
🤣
The snowboarding was so good in the original that they’ve decided to rework BoTW2 into The Legend of Rob Haywood: Breath of the Alcoholic. Yes, it’s really really dark.
The S in that font looks terrible there honestly
This Direct leak sounds so underwhelming that it rings true. Rayman (!) in Smash? :/
breath of the wild 2 Shadow of Majora''s Mask
@DoctorYoghurt Dark Souls IIII
It really adds to the mysterious authenticity when the photo is taken at an angle. Surely any legitimate photos of a Nintendo Direct wouldn't be straight on. Looking good is a tell-tale sign it must be fake, right?! Looking bogus is far better!
Legend of zelda: rein of tingle
