The torturous wait for more news on "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2" may soon be over. One industry insider claims that Nintendo plans to unveil the long-awaited sequel at E3 in 2021.

The sequel to "Breath of the Wild," which became a Nintendo Switch launch title in 2017, was confirmed in a cryptic teaser trailer released at E3 2019, and Nintendo may mark two years since the announcement with fresh details at this year's show.

The rumor comes from Jeff Grubb, a well-known industry veteran, who claimed in a Twitch stream that he is "51% sure that Breath of the Wild 2 will be in Nintendo's E3 2021 Direct." He also stated that if the game is not announced at E3, it should be in the next few weeks.

This would fit nicely with Nintendo's own announcement that we would see a follow-up to Breath of the Wild 2 "later this year," which Nintendo confirmed in a February Direct a few months ago. It seems clear that E3 is the most logical place for Nintendo to properly showcase the sequel to players.

If that's not enough, Grubb also claims that Nintendo will be showing off more Zelda games this summer.

Since this year marks the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series, it seems fitting that Nintendo would shine a big spotlight on this beloved franchise. Already on this anniversary year, the HD version of "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" will be released on Nintendo Switch in July, along with a limited edition Joy-Con and new amiibo. amiibo are essential for unlimited fast travel in the game. amiibo are an essential item for unlimited fast travel in the game, which has caused some controversy.

Speculation is rife that "Breath of the Wild 2" will be the launch title for the much-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro, but there is nothing official to indicate that this is anything more than an Internet theory. Likewise, all of Grubb's information should be taken with a grain of salt, and while he has a solid track record, nothing definitive should be taken unless it comes directly from Nintendo.

Nintendo's full plans for E3 2021 are not yet known, but the company has announced its participation, and based on the previous year, we can expect a presentation at the Nintendo Direct. Fingers crossed that "Breath of the Wild 2" will be featured in some form.
