We all knew what the video was when we saw the thumbnail and the ominous title – “Launch Timing Update”. If Nintendo announced a release date for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, it would either be a Nintendo Direct title or a trailer with a thrilling action thumbnail. We would have some official photos in our inbox shortly after the event … But no, it was a black background and a white text, the classic look “frustration inside”, which prepared us for the inevitable delay for Spring 2023. The producer of The Legend of Zelda series, Eiji Aonuma, has to share an update on the release date of the sequel to The Legend of #Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Please take a look. pic.twitter.com/7OhayhiuM9— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) March 29, 2022 To be fair, at least Nintendo has not copied the CD Projekt Red approach like so many others, sending a letter to Twitter with a bright yellow background. As with previous series delays, we had series producer Eiji Aonuma appear and announce the news as smoothly as possible. Hell, she even made a sharp new haircut for the occasion. Nintendo also could not resist the urge to leave a small experiment, which was a really cool move. It was a close look at Link in the world of “heaven”. He shakes ragged clothes, long nails and a broken Master Sword. What does all this mean? Well, that’s a must have, for any Affiliate, promoting any program. The delay hurts, yes – especially for those of us who dared to dream of spending this holiday season with a brand new Zelda adventure – but some of us are complacent right now, as many predicted it would happen. Assuming it reaches that startup window in Spring 2023 (and you can be sure that Nintendo will want to squeeze it in before the end of the fiscal year), it will be six years after its predecessor The main 3D Legend of Zelda games almost always lose their original release targets and the production of a sequel to one of the great games of all time will make Nintendo pursue the highest standards. Assuming it reaches that startup window in Spring 2023 (and you can be sure that Nintendo will want to squeeze it in before the end of the fiscal year), it will be six years after its predecessor. As frustrating as we are, there is also excitement that the development team is taking the time to do something really special. As an experienced game developer once said (perhaps), a hurry game is forever a turkey, unless wazoo has fixed it. A game with a delay is out of order from day one. I may paraphrase that, but you get the gist. In any case, it was only in January that we published a cheeky poll asking if you all really believed that the game would land in 2022. As it turns out, just under half of the 11,000 readers who responded had faith, even though most of you used the option. ” 80% probability “: Image: Nintendo Life Well, let’s have some new polls to think about. First, a repetition of the last time for fun – were you a pair of smart pants that looked at the previous one in the series and said “wow, I did not get that date”? Be honest, because we will know if you are not! Beyond that, how frustrated are you about the delay? And do you think BOTW2 – or as it will be called – will land on its new target in the Spring of 2023? (Suppose it is from March 1 to June 30, although as we say, we would expect it to appear before the end of the financial year 2022-2023.) Enjoy it in the polls and comments below! On a scale of 1-10, how frustrated are you with the BOTW2 delay? 10 – This is really awful, awful news 9 – Dang, I wanted to play it so much this year! 8 – I will not lie, it’s over 7 – Ugh, I would like it this year. Again, a lot to go on with 6 – At least not a Metroid Prime 4 style “back to the drawing board!” 5 – Well, it gives me more time to get these 900 Korok seeds, I guess 4 – It does not matter, as long as it is really cooked when the 3 is released – Definitely understandable. Do not mind waiting 2 – Okay! Have you seen my lag? 1 – I’m really happy about that
