Since Nintendo has somehow made the wait for Botw2 just as if not more arduous than the wait for the original, I've been keeping myself steady by both replaying the original and rewatching that e3 trailer. Seriously, this thing better be at The Game Awards.
But in addition to that unhealthy habit, I've also been thinking about Trinen's comment about how the subtitle would be a spoiler for this game's premise. So, playing the original game again, I've been thinking what that could mean. For something to be a spoiler for a sequel, generally the seed of the idea must first be sowed in the original.
And with that mind has come to one thing......Motherfucking Dragons.
Here's why I'm thinking these guys will both play a bigger role in the sequel and may actually be mentioned in the game's subtitle.
1. Dragons, both living and dead, though mostly dead, are scattered through out the map of the original. Their presence, while felt, was always an aspect that felt a bit undercooked. Especially since the encounter with Naydra is an absolute highlight of the game. Naturally, I'm thinking Aonuma's team probably had some ideas for them that were left on the cutting room.
2. Another element you'll find all throughout Hyrule in Botw are ruins of an ancient tribe known as the Zonais. If you thought the inclusion of Dragons was vague, these guys have zero explanation to them. I'm not even sure if a single NPC mentions them by name. But from what we can gather, they hunted Dragons and are most likely responsible for all the dragon skeletons laying around. Again, their history is ripe to be expanded upon in the sequel.
3. We're going into the sky in the sequel. What do you need to get into the sky? Wings! What creature has wings? No, not loftwing......motherfucking Dragons. They're in the game. Bonus point if we can ride them.
4. In the e3 2021 trailer, Link has a flamethrower that takes the form of a dragon head. So either this hints at the inclusion of people that use dragon based weapons, AKA the Zonais, or we're using dragon parts to craft these, something that was a small part of the original. Both roads lead to the inclusion of Dragons.
5. Hey, Skyrim did it. So since Nintendo looked at Skyrim as inspiration for Botw, it's likely they wanted to do something similar to the dragon fights in Skyrim, but never got around to it or never got it working properly, maybe the Naydra encounter hints at this. In addition, considering enemy variety is Botw's biggest weakness, they undoubtedly will create new foes for Botw2 anf since introducing enemies that were already previously is easier than something wholly new, it'd make sense for there to be dragon like enemies.
6. In the e3 2021 trailer, it seems that the skyward realm is invisible while on land, perhaps hinting at some sort of barrier keeping it hidden. And wouldn't you know, you can actually see a dragon in Botw go through a portal when it ascends towards the sky. Where do they go? Why obviously to the sky islands in the trailer. Will we ride them through these portals? Who's to say.
So am I crazy or are you crazy for doubting me?
