It’s fair to assume, then, that Nintendo will have absorbed this criticism, and will address it in the sequel. It made for a stark contrast to typical Zelda dungeons, which had become known for their distinctive and memorable dungeons and bosses. The two ‘dungeon-like’ areas in the game - namely, the shrines and the Divine Beasts – were hard to distinguish, and the bosses were all built around the same aesthetics. Though praise for the first game was widespread, one recurrent strand of criticism was aimed at the repetitive and samey dungeon design in the first game. As of yet, the only indication that he’ll return is a glimpse of a shadowy hand in the trailer, which rendered in the colour palette used for the villain in the original BOTW game (and which promptly set Twitter and Reddit alight). Although – spoiler alert – the player defeats him in the final scenes of the first game, he’s also been killed in almost every entry in the Zelda series so far, meaning he’s more than likely to make a comeback.

At present, it’s unclear whether arch-villain and primary antagonist Ganondorf will be returning.
