In my opinion the BOTW2 portion of the Direct was disappointing for several reasons. First I will say that the "darker" portions of the video look fantastic. However when we break it down here is what we got: 1) No title; 2) A very short trailer...only approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds of video; 3) No new enemies shown; 4) Nothing that the first trailer didn't show except what now appears to he floating islands above Hyrule 5) No hint of Temples 6) No footage of shrines (assuming they have them again) 7) No Zelda (after seemingly highlighted in first trailer) 8) A very familiar map aside from the floating "Islands"/Hyrule Castle 9) More Bobgoblins 10) What appears to be similarities taken from Skyward Sword...when we already have SS coming out.
When we all saw the first trailer it appeared to have a very dark tone. Their were hints of the alternating worlds we saw in Twilight Princess. In this trailer there were some hints of a darker tone...only then to shift to Link Falling from the sky and then rising up to what appears to be floating islands. This trailer didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know (again minus the floating islands). To me that is concerning. I also get the sense they don't have any real direction to the game. I am not convinced they know exactly where they want to go yet (I think the very short trailer and lack or new details suggest that). I don't think they have made much progress in the past two years. I also wouldn't be surprised if they scrap development given the lack of real advancement shown thus far. Just my thoughts and opinions!!!
