I just really like botw
What do you think about the idea of multiplayer in BotW2? Old-school straight-up split-screen couch multiplayer that is.
One of the first things, very first things, Aonuma mentioned about the "Next big Zelda game" in January 2013, (at the same time when they announced Wind Waker HD) he talked a lot about 'breaking the conventions' of Zelda. Two points were mentioned - 'Complete dungeons in a certain order' - and 'Play by yourself'.
The first point was shattered and tossed aside in BotW, but what about the other point? Could the Zelda team, possibly, this time, seriously consider multiplayer in BotW2?
Would you want this?
Or at least think that it would be a cool addition?
Would you like to be able to play as both Link and Zelda with a friend as you explore Hyrule together? Or something else, like some sort of 'Link copy'?

My take: I had an idea that Zelda originally serves her purpose in the story, let's say that she is in another location providing assistance in rebuilding Hyrule. Then, in the menu, you can toggle 'Multiplayer' on and off, and if you toggle it on, you have your friend in the couch connect their controller to the switch, Zelda gets summoned to Link's side as the screen splits.
She could have different abilities than Link, maybe she has the Sheikah Slate this time around and Link has his arm ability. You could travel wherever you want, solving special puzzles together or just go to enemy camps and wreck havoc and just have a good time.
