With the Nintendo E3 2021 showcase set for this Tuesday, June 15, I\u00a0can’t help but to think about what I’d\u00a0want to see the Big N share. With so many Legend of Zelda fans begging for Breath of the Wild 2 news, I put together a very serious, very hardcore wish list for what I’d like to see in the sequel. And by that, I mean a chance for me to call Nintendo cowards for not letting Zelda be playable and to talk about shark himbos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So anyway, here’s what I\u00a0want from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 outside of a working title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Make Zelda Playable, You Cowards<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Seriously, it’s her time to shine. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

At the expense of being accused of being a “woke terrorist” ruining the good name of Game Informer,\u00a0<\/i>aren’t we tired yet of Zelda getting kidnapped? I’m not even saying that as any type of social commentary, I’m just … tired of that same storyline. With each new Legend of Zelda game, we see more of Zelda and her capabilities. Branching narratives aside, she definitely has the chops to be a badass in her own right. I’d love to see Breath of the Wild 2 move her character into the next stage of her evolution and to see her a playable hero with her own tricks up that proverbial sleeve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or literal sleeve, I don’t know what’s she’s hiding. She’s an enigma wrapped up in a mystery rolled around in missed opportunity. Get on that, Nintendo (I say respectfully).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Co-Op With Link And Zelda<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Speaking of a playable Zelda…<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

While we’re on the topic of a playable Zelda, let’s throw some co-op action into the mix. In the teaser trailer first shown, we see Zelda and Link tag-team a dangerous location. Side-by-side, they’re ready to face whatever is next, so why not let them face it together as playable characters?<\/p>\n

Take a moment to picture this just beyond simple co-op integration. With the climbing and gliding mechanics, how cool would it be to develop a dual-glide, or some kind of prompt that allows the pair to hoist one another up a cliff’s edge to conserve stamina? If you don’t think that’s the dopest thing ever, we need to chat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

More Shark Himbos, Please<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Or just more engaging characters, the ones we met in the first game were a treasure. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Breath of the Wild introduced players to a wide variety of new characters to meet and to get to know. From the wide-eyed villager looking for some help, to the greatest Himbo to ever Himbo with Prince Sidon, I’d love to see Nintendo lean into this even more.<\/p>\n

The first Breath of the Wild game was an expansive adventure and what kept the motivation to keep traveling high was, in part, due to the incredible faces met along the way. The Zelda universe has seen so many different timelines, so many different characters, and Nintendo has a real magic when it comes to creating interesting friends to our very own Link. Even still, Sidon made the internet collectively lose their minds with either bro vibes from the Zora or thirst from those that play too many BioWare games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That last part may be a self-dunk, I’m not sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
