The evil Ganon / Ganondorf has always been a dark presence throughout theLegend Of Zeldaseries , and one fan thinks that he might be playable in the upcomingBreath Of The Wildsequel . While the fallen Gerudo leader andbearer of the mighty Triforce Of Powerhasn’t appeared in every installment of Nintendo ’s iconic dungeon - cower RPG , he ’s been a spikelet in the side of Link and Zelda in many launching - either from the very beginning or as a hidden force manipulating another antagonist from the shadow .

It seems that the currently untitledsequel toThe Legend Of Zelda : Breath Of The Wildwill be no different , as eagle - eyed fans recognise a mummified remains during the plot ’s reveal at last hebdomad ’s Nintendo Direct at E3 – one that could very well be the Dark One himself . Ganon ’s last visual aspect was inHyrule Warriors : Age Of Calamity , where he took on the terrifying new form of Calamity Ganon in yet another battle with Link in the biz ’s climax . However , in the nextLegend Of Zelda , the longtime big badness of the franchise could be stepping into the spotlight as a playable character .

As reported byGamesRadar , Zeldafan andKinda Funnywriter Barrett Courtney has theorize that the forthcomingBreath Of The Wildsequel will sport Gannon as the basal character instead of Link and that the game will detail his journeying toward becoming the villain fans know him as today . He points to a scene of the player character skydiving during last week ’s E3 trailer , citing that the character ’s side is n’t visible and his correct arm seems to be corrupted in some way - possibly by the dark trick that transform Ganon into the fiend he is today . Courtney goes on to state that " this game will be learning about the evenfall of Ganondorf the piece and then carry through him from the evil that has been ruling over him for generations . And in doing so , we ’ll give away the cycle started by Demise . ”

Demise was the independent antagonist in2011’sThe Legend Of Zelda : Skyward Sword , which is currently do to be re - released on the Nintendo Switch next calendar month . Courtney says that this is no accident , think that it was select over more popular entryway likeTwilight Princess , Ocarina of Time , andWind Wakerdue to director Hidemaro Fujibayashi wanting players to get the full backstory before the nextZeldagame is released . He also direct to Nintendo not announce the full title ofBreath Of The Wild 2due to it possibly spoiling the secret plan ’s story .

While Barrett Courtney’stheory surroundingBreath Of The Wild 2is still just a fan ’s speculation at this point , it would be interesting to make for as Ganon during his days as a well - meaning hero who fell from grace , and the look of preventing his turning to the dark side could enter the serial publication up to some new story possibilities down the route . In any example , fans should stay tune for more selective information on the still - untitledThe Legend Of Zelda : Breath Of The Wildsequel to see if Courtney ’s theory holds weight .
