Today, Nintendo released a teaser for the Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (working title). So far, we've seen that Link still has the Master Sword, Link and Zelda see what appears to be a mummified body of Ganondorf, and Link has a new ability which allows him to use a magical hand. Hyrule Castle is seen getting lifted off the ground as well.
So how does that connect to the BotW post-credits? Here are a couple of theories:
- The ghosts of the Champions and King Rhoam going to rest mean that they will no longer have guidance for any further conflicts.
- The Ancient Voice (Fi) within the sword cannot be heard again. This means that Zelda can no longer seal away evil forces.
OR
- The Master Sword is losing its power and the evil forces sealed in it are breaking out, rendering the sword useless.
This explains why Link STILL has the Master Sword
- Divine Beast Vah Ruta stops working. This means that whatever new threat comes, Divine Beasts cannot be used to stop it the way they were used to fight Calamity Ganon.
What are your thoughts? Do you have any theories around the BotW post-credits?
