POSTING THIS HERE BECAUSE IT’S NOT GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION ON REDDIT
THOUGHTS/THEORIES ABOUT THE NEXT ZELDA GAME
SPOILERS FOR BOTW + AOC + TOTK
Concept art for Breath of the Wild shows a bearded Link wielding a broken Master Sword, bearing a magitek arm and a glowing eye. While it didn’t appear in BotW, a version of the arm is central to TotK’s story and gameplay. Also the broken Master Sword. It seems like concepts from BotW were considered for TotK and could continue to be considered for the next entry.
There was a 6~ year time-skip between BotW and TotK, so it’s not unreasonable to believe that the next game in the series could come after a time-skip as well.
Ganondorf had been sealed since the founding of this Hyrule. As a result, no Gerudo voe had been born since then. Post-TotK, Ganondorf has been defeated, meaning another Gerudo voe can be born.
Shiekah are a subrace of Hylians. If we consider Impa, Robbie, and Purah, they can live comfortably beyond 100 years. It is not unreasonable to believe that Hylians and Gerudo have a similar lifespan.
Astor the Prophet of Doom is the main antagonist of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. It is theorized that he is the “fortune teller” who visited King Rhoam before the events of BotW. He has not appeared in person in either BotW or TotK. He could be anywhere, doing anything.
I propose this idea for BotW 3 / TotK 2, which I am calling “Shadows of the Past”:
Old Man Link and Queen Zelda versus Ganondorf Reborn and Astor the Prophet of Doom.
