Speculation so far has suggested that BOTW2 would be the launch title for the console – and while this is unsubstantiated, it would follow the template for the original Switch, which launched with the first Breath of the Wild.Įarly leaks suggested that BOTW2 would be released as soon as December 2020.

In case anyone is wondering whos doing the music the composer for the tracks weve heard from Breath of the Wild was confirmed to be Manaka Kataoka who has previously worked under Kondos supervision on the Spirit Tracks OST alongside Toru Minegishi (Majoras Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess) and Asuka Ota (Four Swords Adventure and Twilight Princess).
