It should be noted that this is not the Breath of the Wild sequel. Though, in some ways, it could be considered the Breath of the Wild prequel.

The enemies players encounter will include Bokoblins, Lynels, and Ganon's other minions. In addition to playing as Link, players will also be able to play as Zelda.
