Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed a few more details about the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2.
In an interview withGame Informer, Aonuma confirmed thatBreath of the WilddirectorHidemaro Fujibayashihas retained the role on the follow-up. “We’re working together really hard on this game,” he said.
“One of the reasons we wanted to create a continuation was because I wanted to revisit that Hyrule again and use that world again, while incorporating new gameplay and new story,” he added.
Additionally, Aonuma suggested Breath of the Wild sequel DLC is a strong possibility. “I really like the idea of having DLC or anything coming after the main game. People play the game longer and enjoy the game a lot deeper. Going forward, that’s definitely something we’ll think about.”
Nintendoannounced on Tuesday that asequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis currently in development forSwitch.
A trailer shown during itsNintendo Direct E3 presentationfeatured Link and Zelda together, although no further details were announced.
Elsewhere, Aonuma wouldn’t be drawn on whether Zelda might be a playable character, or if the title will support co-op.
“It’s kind of interesting that you bring that up,” he toldIGN, “because in Breath of the Wild, you see Zelda and Link together often too, so to go straight into the thought of co-op is very interesting to me.”
He also toldKotakuhe “can’t say” how many playable characters the game will feature.
Earlier this week, Aonuma said younger members of the sequel’s development team haddrawn inspiration from Red Dead Redemption 2, while Fujibayashi was playing Skyrim during the creation of the original Breath of the Wild.
