Being the direct sequel to the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the new installment was announced during E3 2019. Link and Zelda embark on a new journey together going through the ruins of Hyrule, only for them to have accidentally awoken an ancient and mysterious evil.
