I'm actually kind of scared for the botw sequel. of course not having anything new is the main factor but to me the biggest strenght of botw was the sense of discovery and learning about the world and I don't know if the next game will hit the same highs even with traditional dungeons,.
One of my biggest pet peeves with the original was that all the races were old classic races (goron rito zora and gerudo) which were all amazing with their culture and way of lives and I finding more about them was amazing but they were still races that we knew, how amazing would it be to have new races never seen in a zelda game with their own city etc. that's something that I really want and I'm scared that the sequel will not go in that route.
