Breath of the Wild 2 Link falling thorugh clouds

The news Zelda fans everywhere was dreading was dropped by Nintendo. They have delayed Breath of the Wild 2 from winter 2022 to spring 2023.

The announcement, hosted by series producer Eiji Aonuma, told fans of the reasons why. The dev team are working on adding so many new ideas and mechanics that the delay is unfortunately unavoidable. He did give us some tasty crumbs of info though. He confirmed the setting of the new Breath of the Wild, a Hyrule split between the land and the sky.

This isn’t the first time the games have had this issue, even with Breath of the Wild. The original game was originally due in 2015 as a Wii U title but was delayed so much it came out in 2017, missing the Switch’s launch window. Some fans are still hyping themselves up either way:
