Arguably the most anticipated video game release of 2022 is the Switch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We still don’t know much about it and even the name of the title remains a mystery. Around the time of E3 last year, Bill Trinen mentioned how Nintendo was “holding back” on the name<\/a> to avoid revealing too much.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, veteran video game journalist Paul Gale – who runs his own website, appeared in Nintendo Power and worked with many other video game outlets over the years – has shared a new blog post titled: “Rumour: Botw sequel\u2019s name is (was) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Duality<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Gale’s “intel” typically comes from friends he’s made within the games industry “over the past 12 years”. His latest post is slightly different, as it does not come from a “direct source”, but is one that he felt was still worth sharing as a rumour. Here’s the rundown:<\/p>\n

\n

“…the sequel to BotW and its main hook is right in the name, which establishes on the \u201cBreath\u201d familiarity from the 2017 hit and giving a nod to the fact that you can play as more than the aforementioned title\u2019s Link (including various, polar themes), hence \u201cDuality\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Duality between character abilities, on land and floating regions, past and present, darkness and light, etc. (The individual did note that this name was seen a considerable amount of time ago, supposedly, and could have been one of many template titles.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“…If real, it does make sense as to why Nintendo and Mr. Eiji Aonuma have been so hush-hush on the title. If fake or not final-yet-close to what the actual name ends up being, this still makes for an interesting topic to discuss.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As noted by Gale, what was seen by the source could have potentially been one of many template titles at an earlier point during Breath of the Wild 2’s development.<\/p>\n

YouTuber Nintendo Prime<\/a> also mentioned on his recent live chat show how he’s spoken to Gale about the source:<\/p>\n

\n

“If you guys are fishing for who his source is, it’s not gonna happen…I’m not gonna tell you who his source is, he can confirm in the chat – me and him [Paul Gale] had a private conversation, I’m well aware of how he got this information…me and Paul have a trust, I’m not going to break that trust just to reveal sources…all I can tell you is it’s someone who is fairly reliable.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
