I see what you are saying but, I mean, the trailer is like half minute long. Let's wait and see on the specifics. The only thing I could possibly agree at the moment is that it will likely parallel what Majora's Mask was for Ocarina of Time - a darker, smaller, more story-driven sequel to the first game.

and hot damn this is exactly what I wanted

Majora's Mask was not more story-driven than Ocarina of Time.

Ocarina of Time was all about the story. Majora's Mask was all about the people and side quests. Story of Majora's Mask was just stop the moon. End Story.

If anything BotW is more like Majora's Mask in terms of story. You get the main story in the first like 20 minutes of the game and that's it. 

It's a matter of how we look at it, but to me that is precisely what made it a good story; to me OoT was about completing the dungeons and traversing the world  (let's be honest - the story itself is nothing revolutionary) while MM was driven by the characters in it. I cannot imagine anyone loving Majora's Mask seriously and only having done the bare minimum of stopping the moon. If that's the case they certainly did not play the game for the story, and I dare say that they then missed the story (stories). 

Traversing the world is what BotW is all about. From this perspective it's more similar to OoT. 



This is a zombie Ganondorf for suuuure. It might be someone trying to resurrect him (again). I wouldn't put it above Nintendo to do the bare minimum for a story (I am certainly hoping that they would go story-heavy, though).



i just hope we can revisit link in his boxers again lol...

I loved the story in breath of the wild, that is to say you get poked at the start of the game and told "Ganons  over there mate, what you waiting for" and you run towards Hyrule castle until you get blasted by walking death spider robots... then you start to tell the story of how you hid away like a little coward under some rocks and prayed the rolling death machines would leave you be until you can find something better than a tree branch to wave at Ganon.... Perfect story telling imo!

I actually really liked the story in BotW. I mean the world was defeated basically. They remnents are hiding out at the edges of the realm and it's up to you alone to go and save it.

I liked the backstory told how it was through the memories. It was a perfect story, imo. Only missing more present day story telling. You were kind of just fixings wrongs in the past. There was no present day story, if that makes sense.

Add onto it Breath of the Wild 2's story and hopefully the two just go so hand in hand that it will feel like they are part of a trilogy or something.

Yeah it was just tons and tons of "show, don't tell" I loved that, where you wander into a town which is completely obliterated and find a bunch of rusted destroyed swords and shields laying around the ground, it doesn't need a 20 minute cutscene showing what happened there... you know there was a town, they tried to defend it and they lost hard. I'm smart enough to work backwards from those scenes and they play out so dark in the users own head because you're just witnessing the aftermath of what happened and doing the math in your head, so the cutscene fight of how bad it was is down to your own imagination which is one of the best writing tools. Loved coming across things like that while in the rain and Link was shivering... chilling music and can't even put on a metal sword or shield because lightning might hit it... at times that game just made you feel powerless against the story and the elements in some of the best ways I've ever seen in gaming.
