What I missed most of all was a story of substance in BOTW. “Ganon” had not a single word spoken throughout the game. Just a blob of Malice. I predict we’re about to get the origin story of what happened 10000 years ago; that we’re looking at the mummified corpse of the character (Ganondorf) responsible for setting loose Calamity Ganon on Hyrule. By the trailer, def a Gerudo and some things about the body point to Sheikah Monks. Maybe a Monk gone bad? Maybe learned the ways of the monks then took their power? This could go so many ways. They could really do a good story here. Pumped.
That sounds like a perfectly valid theory, though a little depressing as a concept. Because there’s no real resolution in the game- that’s the one hole in the theory.
Though, that might be my bias because I generally don’t care for the concept of prequels. Also, they said “sequel” and not “prequel”- though that could just be marketing and not trying to reveal too much of their hand
No. Sorry. I meant not the game itself is the origin story, just that the holes will be filled in and the antagonist will be that character from 10k years ago.
I bought one last weekend. Damnit. Dumped untold hours into BOTW. Ape Out is absurdly entertaining. I’m teetering on returning it, but might hold out… on the fence about putting the money toward other shenanigans. First World Problems™
