Annoying that twitter links don't seem to work properly on VGChartz these days, at least for me, but holy smokes, every time I think I've seen everything this game can offer, some new flavour of beautiful insanity emerges.

Making a worthy sequel to this game is going to quite frankly be one of the most near-insurmountable tasks in the history of gaming. I don't envy the Zelda team, expectations are going to be stratospheric.

I think the good news is that the bones of Breath of the Wild are so great that simply layering on new stories, characters, maps, and dungeons will probably be sufficient to turn out another masterpiece.

The bad news is that the novelty and the sense of discovery of Breath of the Wild will probably be difficulty to recreate in a sequel. We might have to wait another 20 years for something as momentous as BoTW.

That's the thing though, I can easily see how they can improve the formula established by BOTW to do a game that "more of the same but better", but such a game won't evoke as much of a wow factor as BOTW did cos it won't be as revolutionary. Not that a game needs to be revolutionary to be great, but I think that almost no matter what they do with the sequel, it will never receive quite the same sky-high acclaim as BOTW.
