Nintendo Direct | E3 2021 " was broadcasted from 1:00 on June 16, 2021 (Wednesday) (Japan time).
While a lot of information was disclosed, the last information to be released during the broadcast was about the "Legend of Zelda" series.
Producer Eiji Aonuma gave information on the expansion pass for "Zelda Warriors: Revelations of Evil" and the upcoming "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD". The first " Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda " was also announced, which was very exciting.
But it didn't end there!
At the very end of the event, a new video of the sequel to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," which the whole world has been waiting for, was released!
The Stage Expands to the Skies of Hyrule
The sequel to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", the latest in the Zelda series, was shown at E3 2019 in June 2019. It was announced that it was in development.
We expected that information would be announced from time to time, but it has been two years since the announcement. Two years have passed without any new information being announced.
With the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Yumemiru Island" for Nintendo Switch and "Zelda Warriors: Apocalypse of Evil", there was no shortage of Zelda content, but we still wanted more information.
The latest video has been released, and it is the latest in a long line of announcements expected during the "Nintendo Direct | E3 2021" event.
In the sequel, in addition to the Hyrule lands explored in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," the stage for adventure will expand to the skies above Hyrule.
In addition to the well-known demons such as Bokoblin and Iwarok, we can also see demons that appear for the first time in the video, and we can also see what seems to be a new ability. Will a different item appear in the sequel?
It seems that Hyrule Castle is being pushed up into the sky, but could that red effect be...?
We can only imagine at this point, but they're working on it for release in 2022!
It's still a little ways off, but if you've been playing "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD" and the expansion pass for "Zelda Warriors: Apocalypse of Evil," 2022 will be here before you know it!
Let's look forward to it!
