Daily Debate: Were You Disappointed By The Legend of Zelda’s Lack of Presence at The Game Awards?

Nintendo fans far and wide tuned in to last night’s Game Awards hoping to see some legendary announcements, whether it be the unveiling of a new Zelda collection, a new tease for Breath of the Wild 2, or one of many other more sensible World Premiere showcases. But other than a minor appearance in a Nintendo sizzle reel and a devastating loss in the Most Anticipated Game category, Breath of the Wild 2 — and the Zelda series as a whole — was largely absent from the evening’s festivities.

The Game Awards hype train, fueled in no small part by vague statements made by Geoff Keighley and Reggie Fils-Aimé, was running off the rails by the time the show began. And for fans expecting — convinced even — that Breath of the Wild‘s sequel would be the ceremony’s big announcement, the end of the show likely begot feelings of disappointment, bewilderment, or emptiness.

Meanwhile, others — like myself — had not invested too much in the possibility of a big Zelda announcement and were therefore not as bothered by a largely uneventful night, Nintendo-wise. Sure, we certainly would have loved to see more of Breath of the Wild 2; but its absence was not at all shocking in hindsight. Speaking for myself, though, I was still a bit disappointed by Nintendo’s non-presence at The Game Awards overall.

But what about you? Did The Game Awards let you down? Did you go in expecting a legendary announcement that never came to pass? Were your expectations more tempered? Let us know in the comments below!
