I just hope the game exists
lmao, literally same
Facts
So fair
It has a teaser trailer so it has a better chance than pikmin 4
It is almost like games take multiple years to develop
My hopes for Breath of the Wild 2: *that they actually have more information for us at E3*
(Inb4 Aonuma comes back to tell us that news isn't ready yet)
If that happens, either somethings gone wrong in production, or it’s gonna be a massive game, much better than BOTW.
"Preasu undahstando."
same
March 2023 release
lowkey expect him to do so. Just to continue the joke (pls don't)
“the sky’s the limit”
this aged particularly well
I thought the exact same. :D
*chef's kiss*
I thought that exact same way thing. Especially after he said he wanted more verticality.
The community has named the sky area Skyrul
"terrain on top of the terrain" aged well too.
I want to open a chest with a full inventory and have them take me straight to my inventory instead of having to open it twice
Link with no boots on would definitely appreciate this. XD
I also think it'd be cool if it just auto swapped based on stats, could be problematic sometimes but that would save so much time.
It would be nice if they gave you the option to open your inventory or close the chest.
As for clothing, I think clothing should be auto equipped if Link doesn't have that area of clothing already equipped.
@@JordnD
Improvements I want to see in The Sequel To Breath Of The Wild:
I would love if we could swap sets automatically. For an example, instead of having to put on the headgear, chestplate and bottoms everytime you switch sets, there should be a button (like X for example) which allows you to equip the full set of the clothing you’ve selected in the press of one button. E.g. click X on the Barbarian Headgear and it will equip the full Barbarian set. Or you can click A on it and it will only equip the headgear. This would save so much time of constantly switching sets for every activity. They could improve this furthermore by having some sets automatically equip when doing certain things. This would need to be an option though. For example, when climbing, climbing gear will be insta equipped. When fighting, barbarian gear will be insta equipped. When dealing with Guardians, ancient gear will be insta equipped.
Or they could scratch the armour system entirely and replace it by character enhancements directly to Link, which work on every clothing item. There would need to be some sort of ways to get these enhancements. Maybe if you kill 75 basic enemies (bokos, mobs, lizals) you will get an attack enhancement. As you kill more enemies and bigger enemies, you will get a bigger attack bonus to your character. You could get a climbing enhancement for the amount of surfaces you have climbed and the duration of climbing you have performed. You could get the stealth enhancement by the amount of sneakstrikes you perform and the amount of wildlife or insects you catch. You could get the ancient enhancement by the amount of ancient sheikah enemies such as guardians that you kill. This would make players want to explore the world further, and constantly to engage in combat & exploration, just for the fun of unlocking new enhancements. These enhancements can all be put on at once, and your clothing won’t affect any enhancements which will give you the ability to customise your character as you wish, without having to give up your enhancements. The only thing that clothing should still do is give you more defence. You can keep the fairies in the game and they’ll continue to upgrade your defence stats of all your armour, but without any abilities or set bonuses (since those will be reclassified as character enhancements).
To address the durability issue, here’s what I’d do. Whatever area you start in Botw2 (let’s just say the Great Plateau for this example). You will spawn in the Plateau with nothing as usual, however in the Temple Of Time, you will find a Rustic Master Sword. This will be a damaged version of the Master Sword. You can pick it up as soon as you leave the Plateau (or whatever tutorial/starting area Botw2 will take place in). As for the paraglider, you will start with it right away. The Rustic Master Sword will deal significantly less damage and break quicker than the standard version, however it will still recharge in 10 minutes. If the Master Sword continues to deal 30 damage in BOTW2, let’s say the Rustic one will deal half of that (15 if we’re going by my example - however the master sword damage is subject to change from botw). This sword will not be great, but it will prevent players from worrying about running out of weapons or breaking them all (which doesn’t happen, but it’s still a fear that players have).
Another thing to combat the durability system could be the use of crafting. Crafting didn’t really exist in botw. There were a few people in villages that would all you to craft the champion weapons, but that’s it. In botw2, we could do this: have blacksmiths all around the world in different settlements, stables, etc. These blacksmiths would allow you to craft any weapon you have already found before, for materials and rupees. You can’t craft Ancient Weapons or Special Weapons even if you have found any before. Blacksmiths can allow you to craft any shields, bows, or melee weapons you have found before. Even arrows can be crafted via them, which can be more convenient than spending rupees in a shop for them. This would be a nice way to address durability issues, without making everything easily craftable, since they only allow you to craft weapons you have found before. Zelda won’t become a game where you have to grind and farm materials constantly. Instead, the materials will be accessible without the need of farming or grinding. Some will be rare, but just like BOTW, nearly all materials will be accessible naturally while exploring and fighting enemies (with the exception of stupid star fragments). They could introduce a whole crafting system, but that would ruin the game imo. It needs to be a fairly limited system, otherwise chests in shrines and around the world will become worthless, because you can craft any weapon anyway. In this way, Blacksmiths will only allow you to craft weapons you’ve found before (otherwise chests would be worthless, and exploring would be pointless since you can craft everything by farming materials all day - which is a grind and is boring). Zelda doesn’t need to be a farming or grinding game. It needs to be fun, and full of exploration. What’s the point of exploring the massive map of hyrule if you can just farm one section of it repeatedly to get some crafting materials? With this crafting system I have suggested, farming for materials will not be necessary, since you will be able to constantly get good weapons from enemies and chests, therefore crafting will be an afterthought for when a weapon you really loved has broken. Another thing that’s good with this system is that it stops players from holding on to weapons they like, in fear of never finding them again. With this system, you’ll be able to constantly craft those weapons again. As I said, there need to be some exceptions. Guardian weapons can’t be crafted unless inside a Tech Lab. Particularly good weapons such as Lynel, Royal & Royal Guard’s Gear has to be difficult to craft, otherwise no one would try to find them - they would craft them instead. I believe this problem is what stopped Nintendo from implementing a fully fleshed out Crafting system in BOTW. Botw was already a massive innovation and restructure to the Zelda franchise, so they didn’t wanna risk it by implementing a crafting system that had the possibility of ruining the entire game if not done correctly. Even if done in my method, there would still be some significant flaws, even if they aren’t instantly apparent.
Anyway I typed way too much lol. Maybe I should make my own game instead 😂
@@samboopbop2914 no, honestly, there are specific weapons that i like even if the might do less damage than another, that would be annoying, i think the original proposition is the best one because it gives you the choice of which one you wanna pick, without wasting your time
Seeing an actual human hand in an Arlo video is *terrifying*
I wonder whos hand it is... probably one of his friends heheh
Don't worry, it's just a puppet that Arlo controls with his hand
Remember where the other hand is
@@chiquita683 😂 not with the cookie monster
@@rewrose2838 if Arlo controls a human puppet, um, where does he stick his hand?
My hope is to see hyrule castle become the new tarry town mission. Where you slowly work to rebuild the castle into looking brand new by collecting wood and stuff. Also having the castle be your new home with way more space to store and mount weapons and armor sets you don’t have equipped
Yes! I thought of this also, and it seems like it would be so much fun!
@Multi Hardcore as long as they make weapons that break, weapon hording is just something people are going to do. The real way to decentivise it is to make weapons that don't break/can be fixed
@Multi Hardcore Tbh I only mount weapons that are neat to look at lol
@@rattyeely the best idea I've heard to remove the incentive for hoarding is to make weapons drop a unique resource when they break, with more powerful weapons dropping more of it.
@Multi Hardcore you could make some soldier npcs who use those weapons and decrease weapon health at the smae rate as link.
My hope is more locations like Hyrule castle, where it doesnt feel like 'yes this is a shrine for a video game' and more 'this is part of the world', REAL in-world structures that you have to fight through! And explore!
I think there’s a good chance they’ll add more of that
That was one of my few problems with the game. I wish you could stumble upon caves and ruins that were “dungeons” without you really knowing that going into them.
The open world dungeon like Hyrule Castle was the right call and now that TOTK is out I am hoping this type of dungeon becomes standard.
@@wafflemcmulligan9186hey bud, guess what
@@chunkymonkey7983 Oh shit I forgot I commented this. But yeah, that turned out pretty well
“I COULD go on and on and probably even make an entire video on that topic, but alas... ” - Arlo in every single video
He’s too busy playing Monster Hunter
I'd honestly watch that. Arlo has good story ideas.
th-cam.com/video/-Sa51FcKxr4/w-d-xo.html
I really like the idea of going around and just accidentally finding a dungeon. It would make exploring hyrule again still as fun as it was the first time.
I would love to stumble into a dungeon, discover I'm ludicrously underprepared and die horribly, and have to trudge back out into the world to explore and raise my skills until I'm ready to venture back inside. That'd be AWESOME.
The OG 1987 "The Legend of Zelda" for NES says hello
Big Skyrim vibes
That’s what I dreamed of when we got the first botw teaser in 2014 but when I played through the first divine beast dungeon I quickly realized they’re all gonna be the same.
I never thought of that now my expectations are way to high
Remember that time that Zelda Wii U was going to justify our purchases and they delayed it until a new system came out?
This summer it will be 5 years since BOTW was unveiled (in 2016). This Autumn will be 5 years since Switch was officially revealed (in 2016). In 2016, it had officially been 4 years when the Wii U was revealed and released (in 2012).
Zelda BOTW released in March of 2017. Zelda Skyward Sword released in 2011. If Nintendo was to duke people into a new generation of their consoles with Zelda, the new generation of consoles they would have two years to do it according to Zelda releases. But considering that they abandoned the Wii U in just four years and the Switch is a success; there isn't going to be another duke.
If this is commenting on the sequel's development, I understand the importance of patience, but if we're talking about a mainline game with development priority significantly higher than games like Pikmin 4 and Bayonetta 3, and reusing a lot from its predecessor, we'd expect news at least and beyond "we're working on it"
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Remember how they also gutted all the touchscreen controls from the original Wii U version and replaced it with an annoying "tap the screen to switch to handheld mode" indicator just so the Wii U version wouldn't have better inventory management than the version on the new system?
Imagine if they make botw2 a switch pro exclusive 😂
As badly as I want this game, I really hope Nintendo takes their time with it. The last thing I want is to be disappointed
yea, im glad they're taking a few years with it, because that way, my thinking is, "they had to have done something good all that time right?" lol
Well they are certainly taking their time now lol
Don’t worry we’re still waiting
Still pondering
@@DARKENINGTIMES I think it’s more like they waited too long, then they got scared by elden ring and realized their sequel wasn’t enough
Something small I would love, is for Link to have an instrument to play again
That would be really nice. Could also play really well into traversal, QoL stuff, and puzzles-like in OoT and WW.
Maybe Kass could teach him the accordion!

Pfffffft everyone wants the bear
All we're hoping for over here is a name reveal and release window announced at E3.
That seems the most reasonable. I still don't feel BOTW2 is a 2021 release.
Yeah, I feel like they would've at least had some stuff about BOTW 2 in the directs if it was coming out at the end of this year.
Most probably botw2 will release next year on Switch 2
@@yakkattack I think we have more time until Switch 2. I think the Switch came out like 3 years after the last gen consoles, so we have at least another 2.5 years until Switch 2.
It is not, it will probably be an early 2022 release just like BoTW
If they want to release it with the "Switch Pro" (not as a exclusivity, but more like "looks how it's more beautiful and fluid on the Switch Pro than on the Switch"), then yes they will wait because good luck for Nintendo to have the component to construct a minimum of Switch Pro for Holiday 2021.
“A lot of new terrain ON TOP of Hyrule”
That hits different now…
And even more under. I thought for sure I would be disappointed and I was so wrong.
You know, it would actually makes sense that you are rebuilding Hyrule while playing.
Yes! 😳
YES! I was thinking that something along this line is feasible. Maybe people are getting together to excavate large swaths of land to rebuild towns and they end up stumbling upon some cool underground caves/ dungeons? I feel like this is a natural route to take and a great opportunity to naturally incorporate new terrain, plus if you pitch in on the rebuilding, it gives you something to work towards
I want more secrets. Not hidden chests and koroks. But secret dungeons, caves, items. I want to be able to hold a torch and a sword so I can explore in these dark areas.
Flame sword or fire rod works for that. I used that in that one area, the island up north that was totally dark and had a Hinox. Super fun, one of my favorite shrine quests
@@ccheyenne Sure. But I'm imagining it as more of a feature and giving the torch a real reason to hang onto.
i hope we get an actual cookbook that stores recipes so i dont have to look up how to make a specific thing
Yeah for sure. Seriously that would be really helpful.
Did you also see the Zeltik video about his wishes? It would be sooo good!
Rather than just handing you one, I feel like they should sell you volumes of them throughout different cities and make the meals impossible to make without buying with rubees
@@luckywizard_ Nah, making them impossible to make unless you have the recipe in game kind of sucks, I’d much rather it be a fully optional thing
Figuring out the cooking system is a huge part of the fun. Also there are recipes at all of the stables and a bunch of diaries and NPCs give you recipes. Also any meal you already have in your inventory allows you to look at its recipe. But seriously, it doesn't take that long to figure out what stacks and what cancels and how many of what effect things give you, it's pretty straightforward.
Returning to older content to avoid new spoilers about Tears of the Kingdom and oh, how well this video has aged. It seems Nintendo has answered your wishes and much much more, little blue man 💙
watching this video now is soooo funny to me. almost everything read more like descriptions than hopes
the exp system seems fine hidden imo. somehow helps with immersion
My hopes for Breath of the Wild 2:
Press A to pet dog
Board Stallhorse
Board Lord of the Mountain
The fact I couldn't board a stallhorse and call it Ebona ruined my playthrough. Jk, not really, but I want it.
No no no no no. Do what Twilight Princess did with dogs, pet them, pick them up, play with them
Technically you can board any rideable animal with the "horse swap" glitch, but I'm not too sure how it works
The hookshot, use the hookshot to spice up traversal.
Let's go beyond that: They wanted everything to have multiple uses, well how about multiple shots?
The hook shot for wood and softer stuff, the clawshot to grab items and for porous surfaces, a magnetshot for metal (Maybe a good shot can take a monsters weapon) a suction cupshot for glass and other sheer surfaces. Make it something you can use in any situation like the runes
@@dinkledonker801 That would be perfect that way climbing stuff isn't useless early game
@@gelatogremlin Plus the hookshot would obviously start was very limited range, and if the range is upgradable and you maxed it out you probably couldn't just use it to just zip up a mountain
An Idea i had for how a hook shot could be used with botw physics and mechanics, is tie it to magnesis. When you pull out the hook shot, it shows you where are are aiming and if it hits any sturdy surface it turns blue but also shows you how much stamina it would take to get there. If it takes to much stamina it will be red.
They tried it and it didn't work.
What if: We bring back the dark and light world concepts, but Link and Zelda get separated and are working together from across worlds?
Ok this is a fresh concept I would totally get behind, some Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance but Zelda is in Light Hyrule and Link, the seasoned adventurer, in the harsher Dark Hyrule.
Honestly with a world this big that might just end up tedious
the worry there is that it might take away from the freshness of new locales and zones, if Zelda just does the "light version" of Zora's Domain when Link JUST did the dark one. Unless dark Hyrule is radically different
That sounds really cool. Not sure of it would work with a world this big but in a more traditional Zelda game it would be amazing.
That would be cool.
Oooh, and maybe as an endgame bonus you can play as either of them in both worlds, opening up new stuff.
im a fan of a lot of this… aside from the xp being visible. that would really make the game less special in my eyes
Honestly xp systems have been a pretty big open world game killer as of late
Yeah honestly same, having xp would ruin the experience for me. It just makes you feel less implicated in the game and more like just the character got stronger. What I liked with botw was that, even if I lost my save file or forgot to save, I could pick it back up and I’D be the one who improved. If we had xp, it would steal from the “you can do anything you want” and you wouldn’t be able to, for example, storm hyrule castle as soon as you leave the GP. It’s something I really loved abt botw! You can go seek out impa and get your memories etc, or you can just directly go beat Ganon. There wasn’t any “correct” option. Xp would make it feel like you need to do all those quests and I’d dislike that
I could use some more reason to kill monsters, but XP would be taking it too far in my opinion. It’s a bit artificial and could really confuse the balancing of the game.
I dont like xp one bit as well
If Link can't pet dogs in BOTW 2, we riot.
Imagine we get cats as a replacement
Aonuma will adress this issue by removing dogs or making petting a dlc.
@@chamtheman551 good enough
@@nihili4196 That's all I need (Petting DLC)
As silly as Arlo's Promotional Advertisements are, they really are quite genius since they actually make me want to watch them rather than just skip through it all.
I'm sorry but I skip it, I had enough of Raycon shoved up my face on every TH-cam channel. NO criticism for him though, it's just business.
@@HandledToaster2 get sponsor block! It blocks sponsors and even the annoying "YO WHATTUP LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE" bits. It doesn't have every video bc users manually add which videos have sponsors and stuff but its pretty good
It’s kinda hard for me to watch since Raycon earbuds are not a great product at all.
@@haleyg4250 sounds cool I'll check it out, thanks!
@@HandledToaster2 I get it though, I just kinda appreciate that Arlo atleast tries to be original with his adverts other than just rambling about the product for two minutes (Though he does still ramble quite a bit).
13:27 That’s something I really liked about Hollow Knight. You break open a wall and it can be anything between a small money cache to a whole other quest line.
I remember shooting my shade soul to kill a bunch of enemies and it accidentally hit a breakable wall that led to the hive!
Number one nitpick: NO MORE RANDOM STAL ENEMY ENCOUNTERS
@Trin Silvers honestly the stal encounters help loads during master mode earlygame, helps keep a decent source of cash
I'm actually fine with the melee ones but it's annoying when they spawn with range weapons, lol. The bones make decent weapons early on - drop a bomb and get 3 flimsy weapons, woo.
I hate the stal enemies. I’m trying to sneak up on a gold bokoblin to kill him in his sleep but then some stalkoblins pop up and wake him up.
@@Mr.Goufball : Being in stealth should really block that, since it's tedious to sneak and in theory, your quiet footsteps wouldn't alert underground foes either.
Cant wait for BotW 2 to come out in the year 2117 so Link can take another 100 year nap
I want connected side quests with deep stories that are meaningful and reward you with something unique, like in MM. And a fishing rod to take everywhere. Temples too.
You mean a you want a regular Zelda game. Yes, we all do.
Also, using said fishing rod against the final boss.
@@PinkBunnyCorporation No zelda games besides MM has good side quests lol
@@PinkBunnyCorporation Side quest in Zelda are usually not very deep. And MM still had to little of it.
"The sky is the limit!" Well, he wasn't wrong...
A couple things I really disagree with Arlo on:
1. EXP: Zelda's not an RPG. It's an adventure game, closest in genre probably to the Metroid series actually. What makes them distinct from RPGs is their systems driven gameplay. Even before BOTW had complex physics and chemistry engines, earlier Zelda games forced the player to think about how to use their arsenal in a creative way to manipulate the environment. They then use these types of mechanics to amplify exploration and adventure. Combat is not the be-all-end-all, but rather a small obstacle, and sometimes a mini-puzzle in the process of adventure. As a result, combat strength should not come as the result of plain battling as in an RPG. Rather it should be a product of exploration, and often time, it should come with an increased range of abilities with which to interact with the world.
2. The food/potion system. IMO this is one of BOTW's greatest strengths. Firstly, I think a mistake a lot of players make is that they conflate damage/health with difficulty. While they certainly can contribute to difficulty, I think the best difficulty comes from how challenging it is to attack/dodge/block an enemy's attacks. Having lots of available health replenishment does not damage the second aspect. Secondly, BOTW effectively lets players grind away their own difficulty curves. There were plenty of times I told myself I wanted to beat an enemy without eating food. When I did want to get past an enemy with less fuss, I was then punished by having to use up my food reserves, and then spend the time to replenish them later on. Fundamentally, eating is in the hands of the player, and I like it that way.
Here is what I'd like to see most:
1. More hidden abilities: It was genuinely disappointing not to get more runes after the great plateau. I really wanted to have the feeling of discovering new mechanics from new items as I progressed through the game, but that really ran out pretty fast.
These are excellent points!! In the same vein of food not necessarily making the game easier or harder, I felt that “hard mode” making damage bigger to not be very fun. I would have preferred something like “enemies become much more aggressive”.
As for the EXP, whether it’s invisible or not I would loooove a skill tree. The champion powers were nice but it would be awesome to unlock new things you could do in combat as you progress through the game.
You got what you wanted bro with the hidden abilities
I want them to bring in a ton of sky islands and then you get a loft wing to travel between them. I want Zoe’s armor to explore underwater. I want Minish villages hidden in logs and trees.
I think that would be awesome, but at the same time I can understand why they don't do that
I'll be honest? give me a clawshot or something and caves I'm happy.
Yoooo, I remember watching your Ocarina of time randomizers. I think that’d literally make the perfect zelda game. I love the idea! the true merge of the timelines
I don't know what Zoe's armor is but I definitely agree with the sky islands and Minish villages.
@@mr.lollypop9752 I think he meant zoras armor, like in twilight princess
I think the reason they’ve taken so long is because the team has been making Hyrule feel fresh and new. If they’re reusing the map, I can only assume that they are making a more full Hyrule. With new areas, as well as restored towns and cities.
Yeah I also think there will be restored towns (hoping for Hyrule castle town) and more people around since Calamity Ganon is no more.
My personal theory (though a bit optimistic) is that the discovery of Hyrule's Underground will present us with a backdrop for more traditional Zelda dungeons peppered across the open world.
They should make the whole map like the dark world from link to the past and put the pyramid of power in the middle.
1. You were wrong about the map and just made a video on why you were wrong.
2. "New terrain on top of the existing terrain" sky islands
3. Yes more vertically, you can now go underground and fly up to the sky
4. Surfaces aren't taller, but they added tons of new mechanics to easily avoid climbing all together
5. Caves. Yes they added TONS of caves in the game with armorsets and bubblfrogs.
6. No underwater exploration
7. The underground is a "dark world" underneath hyrule that's the size of hyrule, but it's not the same as the dark world we see in games likes link to the past
8. There's now tons of new traversal methods using the ultrahand mechanic with zonai devices
9. The new resource used for zonai device traversal are batteries
10. Crafting is a massive new mechanic with the ultrahand, fuse, and autobuild mechanics
11. You get bomb arrows by fusing bombs to arrow
12. You create a fire sword by fusing a Ruby to a sword
13. Totk has the same hidden XP system from botw
14. Orbs are still in the game
15. You can make yourself stronger by fusing monster parts to weapons
16. Easy cooking and eating mechanics are still in the game
17. The new champions have cooldowns of a couple seconds
18. No photo mode, uses the same camera mechanic
19. There are more enemy/boss variety
20. 152 shrines, entirely new mechanics, no gyro puzzles
21. 4 temples that you can discover on your own
22. Temples are designed after the region
23. Totk has the same plot structure as botw
24. It is dried up ganondorf, but you simply just have to get the master sword to seal him up
25. The game is darker (the new hand monsters are scary af)
26. If you don't count building vehicles and contraptions with ultra hand a sub game, there isn't a new sub game
27. You can build a custom house in totk, but customization isn't that deep
28. You rebuild lurlin village, but that's just a short 30 minute side adventure
29. No playable zelda, she's a big part of the story, but not the gameplay. She only follows you at the beginning of the game
30. It's botw 2, but with huge twists with the underground and sky
31. Tons of mechanic changes and system improvements
32. Tons of new stuff to do like exploring caves, building contraptions, and helping Patterson keep his sign up
33. It developed the ground work from botw, botw now feels like a tech demo

Honestly you came up with a lot of good solutions for the eating problem, but I still think it could just say “you can’t eat while enemies are nearby” and boom difficulty doubled
Or you can just make your own rules and play it like that, idk.
Nintendo's still Nintendo, and gonna make the game accessible to everyone. Making it harder just to please older gamers isn't gonna happen.
Then how do you buff before combat?
You can't eat while in combat makes more sense.
@@Xsyven I feel like this could be solved with difficulty options though
Monster Hunter already solved this issue, you eat in real time...
That would actually be really annoying, and I would probably end up avoiding enimies entirely so that I'm able to eat
I hope Tingle gets added just to see Arlo's reaction
that would be so sad
Imagine seeing Tingle somewhere underground and he's like "I went and explored this cave in search for a fairy but atlas I had no luck but I know that I am still a forest fairy" then he ends it with his famous line "Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah!"
I also would love to see the return of the happy mask salesman in the form of a wandering merchant with his iconic backpack. He could sell special head gear (masks) with special powers (like the bunny hears that let you run faster without any stamina drawbacks).
Also I'd love for him to be the same one since he is clearly not a normale person and we saw how he fled Hyrule when Ganondorf conquered it, so maybe he could have a line like "I can finally sense hope again in this land so I decided to return at last" or something.
Carlo Cobi What about Zant. We haven’t seen him in almost a decade and I think it’s his time to shine. if he in BOTW2 he will either be helping link or he will play a bigger role in the sequel or he might be the main villain instead of Gannon.
@@Panbow_
Zant is dead tho, and differently from Ganon he isn't prone to reincarnation 😂
Personally he's good enough as a one-shot villain.

My hopes for Breath of the Wild 2: that it magically comes out this year
You should hope for something more realistic XD

I’m thinking that it would come out around late this year or early to mid 2022

I can’t see Nintendo making the rumoured Donkey Kong game a holiday title and unless there’s something unexpected I think it’s at least feasible. Splatoon 3 isn’t until next year so there’s that.
The finding the dungeons your self is something I was hoping for in the first BotW, because it was one of my favorite things about the very first Zelda game.
That's how it is in Tears of the Kingdom now 👍
My main worry is that Breath of the Wild is just SO good, that they’ve reached a creativity peak and the sequel winds up being subpar
For me it can only get better. The only thing missing in BOTW is caves, underwater exploration, more enemy variety and themed dungeons.
I feel they ticked all these boxes in the sequel. So for me it can only get better, I got sick and tired of the bokoblins and moblins over and over again.
Guess what they said during ocarina of time my friend
There's sooo much room for improvement in BOTW. One of the GOAT games but still flawed in a number of ways especially the story
although it is such a great game, that i spent over 200 hours on, there is a lot of room for improvement, tehy removevd so much, so much great stuff
Personally, after Animal Crossing, I can do without crafting

Wow, this is the first comment I see on an arlo video. Impressive.
@@eliguy1745 oh wow that is pretty impressive. Good seeing you here
Arlo's getting a bit more verticality than he asked for lol.
I think that implementing some sort of journey with Zelda would be extremely interesting depending on how it’s implemented. Having link and Zelda travel together in many story missions and having a more intimate story between the two that isn’t just coming from flashback cutscenes would also be really nice
Ok, but will you make the 3 hour special where you talk about all your wishes?
I would honestly take a three hour special where Arlo just talks about Zelda with no train of thought and no restraint, not apologizing and literally just shoving his stream of consciousness towards us without stopping
In BotW 2, you'll have a man making beef and lamb wraps for the people working on rebuilding Castle Town. He'll ask Link or Zelda to help him by collecting ingredients and suggesting ingredients to add to the sandwich in order to meet a particular customer's wants. They'll be called...
...Gyro puzzles.

Ever since I finished Breath of the Wild, I've been trying to get more people to play it. Since I can't experience the first time magic anymore, I want to watch someone else do so. I'm like a disciple for this game lol.
I got to play it with my then-4-year-old when it first came out, and it was an amazing experience, as was playing through all the previous Zeldas with her. Her sister is 5 now and there's a little brother on the way, so I'm looking forward to each of them getting to repeat the process!
That's how I felt watching one of my fav. youtubers play Hollow Knight for the first time. I had a big smile the whole way.
Have you tried any self-imposed challenges? I've played through using only hylian weapons and clothing, and currently I'm playing without talking to any hylians, zoras, gorons, rito, or gerudo. I'm discovering a lot about the game, especially since the asocial run has forced me to explore more slowly.
@@AlderFletcher when I think about my favorite memories of playing this game, it was when I was fresh out of the Great Plateau, as well as when I was making my way from Kakariko Village to Hateno town for the first time. There was an acute sense of danger due to my lack of knowledge of the game, and everything was pretty new. I don't think any amount of challenges can help me regain that feeling.
A bit of an unrelated note but I'm doing the same with The Henry Stickmin Collection. It just brings me so much joy seeing someone do a Let's Play on TH-cam and laughing at the jokes and stuff. Please give it a try if you haven't. It's 15 dollars on Steam and definitely worth every penny. It's a remaster of the old Flash series plus a really big conclusion.
Basically, we want BotW 2 to be the majora's mask to the ocarina of time that is BotW.
Also, Arlo likes monster hunter.
Majora's Mask is such a special game though, I don't think it's simple to set out with the objective of making something that original and touching. Obviously I want this ^^
which brings up one thing they should do.. like monster hunter, recycle old monsters from other games and just spiff them up iwth new graphics and slight modifications to like procedural generation of foot placement. if it means more enemies, it's worth it.
How does it feel to nail the elements of caving, building weapons (fusing), dark world (the depths), powering up abilities???
Skyrim. Arlo wants Skyrim.
- Caves that lead to dungeons
- No dark world
- More developed story
- More big enemies
- XP system
- Crafting system
- Darker
- No gyro puzzles
Arlo’s raycon ads have almost the same amount of lore as Breath of the wild 😂

I genuinely laughed out loud at this
Diamond and pearl by the oddesey team would be cool though.
Don't do us Metroid fans like that man
After watching the last gameplay presentation, did Arlo just get basically almost everything he wanted?
Basically yea
I was thinking the same thing! I got about halfway thru this video and thought “wait when did he post this!?”
Except he was complaining about reusing the map, I think that was a smart move
When he says sky is the limit, and a more vertical map. Now that I watched the new trailer, it seems he knew from the begining.
You know that cave with all the guardians? I WANT MORE SECRETS LIKE THAT
Oh god yes! I still remember how freaked out I was when I stumbled in to it waaaay to early in the game. I was so excited to go back far later with better gear and finally see what was in there(a bit of a disappointment but still, the excitement was sooo good)
Wait what
Yeah that was pretty cool, sadly I had to google it to find out where it was, cause I didn't want to end my second playthrought without exploring that place like the first time. Kinda funny that you don't have to fight the guardians and can just fly the whole way.

Whatever they pay Arlo for these advertisements, it’s not enough
Thank you for the v bucks god!
I hope they rebuild or make us rebuild abandoned villages such as tabantha village, castle town, and other villages. It would be cool if they made. A log cabin village in the snow mountains.
i think my biggest hope (and one that i hoped would be in the first game) is that we can actually rebuild more of hyrule. i LOVED the tarrey town quest: seeing the town physically grow and feeling the sense of community growing along with it was so incredibly satisfying and really solidified the idea that hyrule may have fallen, but the people are still here and they’re ready to put the past behind them and build something new.
i can understand why you feel that the whole food system might be kind of broken, and from a design perspective it makes sense to limit it-but as a player it made the game SO much more accessible to me. despite having hundreds of hours in the game, i’m just not a very technically skilled player. the only thing that’s given me a little more courage to actually fight some battles head on is the fact that i CAN just pause, take a breather to heal up, and then keep going. i know that getting a game over doesn’t have any mechanical implications, but it still feels bad.
i think the solution that addresses most people’s needs would be to have difficulty/mechanic settings: for example, a hunger/fullness meter with options of (1)none, (2)can’t eat when full, (3)can’t eat when full & movement is slowed when full. i can think of other possibilities (decreasing meal storage, increasing ingredient rarity, increasing time/resource cost to cook) but those would be much more involved and probably couldn’t be simple toggle options.
i think it might be neat if there was a recipe book where some recipes were flagged as “prepared” or something, where in order to make them you would have to complete some cooking mama-like mini game. like this, players could cook some simple meals with simple effects, but the best meals would be locked behind the work of finding ingredients, AND the work of actually preparing them (actually the more i think about it the more fun that sounds...)
in any case, i hope it lives up to our expectations! fingers crossed 🤞🤞
“The sky’s the limit” truly you are a prophet
Something small that I really want to see is a recipe book. In botw I feel like you just throw stuff together and hope you remember how to make it next time you need it, but it would be much more rewarding if everytime you make a different dish you fill out something in your recipe book. It would be something extra to complete and maybe as a completion bonus you can get a chef hat.
i used to take photos of the recipes in the walls of each stable, i had my DIY recipe book
Hahaha love this! And if you wear the chef's hat you get special dialogue from every NPC, now that I would happily put in many hours to acheive.
The idea of just bombing a random wall and finding yourself in a big dungeon is enthralling enough as it is, but imagine this. We've already seen traces of Lon Lon Ranch and other locations from previous Zelda games. What if, one day you bombed into a cavern in the desert, you walked through, pushed through some underbrush and came out the other side. You came out in a desert clearing of some sort and there was what appeared to be a giant rock in front of you. You circle around the other side of the rock, only to discover that the clearing is much bigger and the rock is just set into one end of it. Between the giant rock and the rest of the clearing is... an archway. As you approach the archway, you notice a small pond off to the side. When you get to the archway, you turn back towards the giant rock to see that there are stairs leading up to it, going inside of it. And the giant rock isn't actually a rock at all, but a statue. In the background, the distant strain of a familiar song starts to play... a familiar requiem.
Tim, this is getting me more hyped for the sequel than I ought to be. This sounds awesome.
This would be really insane
What if they let Link go back in time to talk with OOT Link and they join forces in both world that would be fucking epic.
Dungeons? That could be cool.
Personally I think we should focus on that pack animal from the trailer. What if it had a big inventory you could put Physics objects and materials into so you could ship them all across Hyrule?
It would provide an interesting twist to exploration; kind of like Death Stranding in the Zelda world.
@@matthewmatthew981
They should focus more on animals in general imo. Rats are in the trailer, there were no pigs in BOTW, you can't pet dogs, there are no cats, you can't register deer.
“Breath of the wild would have been better with more of a crafting element.”
This man’s predictions are insane
I mean... that was a common observation. I don't think he meant crafting in the way they actually implemented it. If he had predicted that I'd think he was a wizard.
Welp, here I am, it’s been two years, but we’re back.

Spoilers for Age of Calamity...
I was really hoping Age of Calamity would do that. I get that they wanted to do the fanservice thing of allowing us to play as the Champions' descendants, and I genuinely did enjoy playing as them, but the fact that it actually turned out that they actually sealed the calamity in this alternate timeline instead of having that foregone conclusion that the Champions perished and Zelda remained locked in battle with Ganon kind of disappointed me. Heck it could have had that extra tragedy of the descendents getting a chance to right what went wrong and still failing.
Someone needs to die for our enjoyment 🤣🤣🤣
Two of my biggest hopes echo some of Arlo's stuff. To expand on his idea of "just exploring and stumbling across a cave" I want there to be a whole underground network of caves and caverns to explore. Just this sprawling interconnected space where you find a cave entrance somewhere, delve into the tunnels, and could find your way to a cave on the far side of where you started. Heck mix in Arlo's idea of hiding dungeons and/or mini-dungeons in these caves as well and go the extra mile and make whole ruined Sheikah towns down there. Stuff them with stronger baddies and loot that can only be found in the depths and that would be great fun.
Second, expand on the idea of Sheikah tech. Give us like, a Sheikah tech boat we can use to "sail" an expanded ocean out at the edge of Hyrule. Sheikah tech scuba gear so we can explore underwater without an air or stamina meter. Sheikah tech forges where you can combine resources to make weapons or enhance ones you've found. Even more mundane world-buildy stuff like simple elevators or mining tools for the Gorons.
A great way to fix story in a non-linear game is to have smaller stories within the over-arching story. I loved the story within the Zora village but each other pre-divine beast section felt kind of weak.
Something small I would love to see would be fishing from twilight princess return with boats,fishing rods,and different baits you can use.I want more fleshed out fishing in botw 2.I can't be the only one.
I just want to use my sword for more than 10 minutes
10 minutes of exploring but 2 minutes of combat
People complain about weapons breaking but I honestly do not understand why. I never had a problem considering you have like 30 swords...
@@BryantheArchivist it's all human psychology. Having the weapons break turns them into consumables which people always want to hold off using till that perfect moment. The weapon system is fine as it is but what would make it better is if it incentivised breaking weapons. Like getting materials to make new stronger weapons
awesome profile pic
@@ultimate9056 : You hit the nail on the head. Honestly, it goes back to survival instincts practically. Some people are just inclined toward saving everything they can. It makes the most sense if beating the game is your goal.
Problem is, almost EVERYTHING in Breath regenerates, so using consumables up to beat stuff winds up a net loss unless you get a better weapon out of it, which isn't going to happen once you've collected the best stuff. Game turns into Breath of the Wild: Pacifism Edition. (Or maybe Apathetic Edition. XD )
Idk bout leveling, but like everything else he wanted he's getting, crafting, reusing the map in interesting new ways, sky islands, caves, new ways to travel, darker tone, new enemies. This video aged extremely well
I’m pretty sure they’re going to expand the map to underground and maybe beyond the borders of hyrule
“This isn’t Paper Mario, you can do whatever you want here!”
Yikes 😂
Nintendo is so deep in their hole they're not even allowing their games to have new abilities learnable after the tutorial unless they're only usable in specific circumstances (like the Sand Rod or Vellumentals), last time this was averted outside a remake was Paper Jam, and look at what happened to AlphaDream after that...
Arlo can't think of anything else can he
@@Wiimeiser They made a bunch of remakes for the 3DS, including one that was released after Switch had already come out. That was also probably a big part of the problem
Nintendo likes experimenting and that's a good thing, but using established IPs to run experiments is very hit-or-miss, and in the case of Paper Mario, it was a massive miss on several fronts. And even then, no amount of experimenting could justify giving all characters of each species the exact same paper-thin personality.
I was actually blown away by Arlo's crafting argument. BoTW really does feel designed entirely around crafting, and just stopped short. Then they threw treasure chests with weapons everywhere
@Multi Hardcore
They should do both. Learning a recipe, then searching for the materials and finally crafting a weapon you've been aiming to get is incredibly satisfying
A lot of things in BOTW are just half thought out that games have done well for years now
Like we get so many gemstones that supposedly have magical abilities, it's weird not to use them in order to craft some elemental swords or arrows. The only time we "craft" weapons is at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.
something id like is making your own arrows using the horns/bones of monsters, the more you use to make the arrows the stronger they are, use 1 bokoblin horn and it'll do like 1 or 2 extra damage, use like 5 moblin horns and it'll do like 10 extra damage or something, and lynel horns are the strongest, and ofc bow's will have to do less damage so the arrows can be more powerful, then like you can infuse them with elements using other collectable stuff
Having some traditional dungeons would really spice things up. They already have lots of good locations for entrances too! Mekar Island, one of the mazes having a "basement", the 8th Heroine Statue, Arbiter's Grounds, Bottom of Lake Hylia (like discussed in the video), and just for giggles, throw something in on that big plateau at the south of the Gerudo mountain chain that is currently unreachable. The fact it was on the map, but I couldn't climb the wall and go there DROVE ME CRAZY.
Getting to rebuild various towns around Hyrule would be a great side quest.
Yes! Even just a small thing like a cabin for a family or a couple tents for a camp or a watchtower so soldiers can keep a town safe. The house side quest was my fave and I full on stopped whatever I was doing to do it.
The overworld will be different enough. There will be many many surprises. Add that to full blown dungeons? :D
The underground will definitely be the big new thing to explore as they've flat out said were gonna be exploring underground! Dungeons will probably be sprung up by ancient shiekah technology or something similar to the towers since they need an explanation for why those appear our of nowhere
Okay, hear me out: Zelda's power is actually the Triforce or some sort of power related to it and Ganondorf steals it from her when he awakens. Like in ALttP he makes his wish but this time the Triforce doesn't create the Dark World in the Golden Realm but instead transforms Hyrule itself.
Anything will be possible that way and it'll be a fantastic finale for Zelda's oldest villain: Ganondorf finally gets what he wants - total domination. Until it is snatched away from him once more, of course.
@@fluffynator6222 I doubt it’ll be a final game that Ganon is the villain in, but hopefully he takes a backseat for a while

Sure, but it'd definitely be a good way to retire him for a while. And a full blown Ganondorf with the full Triforce really is the only thing that they haven't done with him yet so it'd fit.

I want there to be a huge underground cave system + the ability to go underwater + a mixture of the two
Edit: I feel I should evaluate, the cave is the size of hyrule itself and as you gain stamina you can go deeper and deeper with several areas having a big bad that looks like a sleep paralysis demon that you encounter many times, running and running away from it until you can kill it one day. If hyrule above is the exact same then we need the whole game to be focused under ground.
