Ever since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild made its debut more than five years ago, it has amassed a huge fan following among all the Nintendo players. So much so, that now they are ready for its sequel which is scheduled to come out soon. Initial reports indicated that Zelda 2 was going to arrive in 2022, but Nintendo came up with a sad update earlier this year, announcing a delay. While the hype may have decreased a little, the craze among fans is still high. To escalate it even further, there’s a new leak based on the upcoming second installment in the beloved saga. THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD 2 LEAKED ON AMAZON! Shaun Weber, a popular insider [https://twitter.com/just4leaks2/status/1561726009153671168?s=20&t=tgaHHnMSwNr90tDtx9cEqw] on Twitter, posted a tweet on his account, revealing major information on the awaited sequel. Going by the tweet, the scooper found a listing for Zelda 2 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-four-reasons-why-nintendo-decided-to-delay-the-eagerly-anticipated-zelda-sequel-to-2023/] on Amazon [https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B07SW7M7QB/ref=sr_1_41?qid=1661177931&s=videogames&sr=1-41]. However, the catch is that it was visible only on the German Amazon website and nowhere else. Furthermore, the screenshots from the listing provide some crucial details as well for the awaited Nintendo Switch [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-watch-nintendo-switch-on-its-way-hitting-the-billion-dollar-mark-in-sales/] exclusive. The page showed Zelda 2’s main poster and release date, being December 31, 2022. But it’s just a placeholder date. The listing even mentioned the price of the game, which is €69.99 for Germany.

If you try to go to this link now, there won’t be anything except a message reading “Temporarily out of stock. We are working hard to be back in stock as soon as possible.” All things considered, however, it’s an interesting leak to witness, especially at a time when there’s literally no update regarding Zelda 2. Maybe the page was dedicated to the game in case it was arriving later this year, which is definitely not the situation anymore. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel will release next year in early 2023. Till then, die-hard fans will need to wait for a few more months. What are your thoughts on the aforementioned leak on the anticipated Nintendo Switch title? Are you excited for the game once again after witnessing a piece of fresh news?

<h3>Nintendo Switch - History, Sales, Current Market Value, Popular Games</h3>
Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular gaming consoles on the face of this planet. The reason behind this is not just the legacy that its creator holds but also the fact that the console captures a majority of a market that is not very passionately captured by others, or it would be better to say that not many consoles had the potential to do the same. Although there are a number of competitors in the market now, back when Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, no one stood even close.

<h2>History of Nintendo Switch</h2>
Nintendo Switch is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nintendo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nintendo</a>’s latest Primary console. It is the first home console ever to provide its users with a hybrid functionality. This console was released on March 3, 2017 worldwide.  The console was instantly met with a positive reaction all thanks to its innovative functionality and launch library. The most popular among its launch titles was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a>, which usually gets credit for its success.

Popular Games

However, the most popular Nintendo Switch game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe This kart racing game from the Mario franchise was released at the same time as the Switch. Thanks to the hype of the console and the game, it has gone on to remain their undisputed leader in sales. As per the reports from the end of 2022, Mario Kart remains at the top of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games with a mammoth 52 million copies sold.  

The top position was at risk at one point, but the end of the pandemic stopped that wild run. At one point, in Switch's journey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a game that gained instant popularity thanks to its chill nature and its availability during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Many credits this game for keeping them happy during this trying time. Released during the lockdown period, this game was unstoppable and was easily the favorite to topple Mario Kart 8. 

However, that pace dropped due to many reasons, with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-animal-crossing-new-horizons-fans-give-up-on-the-game-despite-nintendo-scheduling-a-maintenance-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unimpressive updates being one of them</a>. Nevertheless, the brilliant fame saw it become the second most successful game with a little over 10 million short of taking the top spot. And all this in a short span of two years.

Further down the list, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pokemon Scarlet and Violet</a>, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Super Mario Odyssey prove their popularity as a few of the Switch favorites with their sales.

COVID-19 turned out to be a boon for Nintendo

The COVID-19 pandemic only helped raise the popularity of the Nintendo Switch. The console sold more, and it is the newly launched game <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/animal-crossing-a-new-reality-in-the-pandemic-new-horizons-esports-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Animal Crossing: New Horizons broke several sales records</a>. It broke the record at Nintendo for being the fastest-selling title in Europe after one year of sale.

If that wasn't satisfying enough the next one will do the job. New Horizons had<a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/animal-crossing-has-broken-nintendos-first-year-sales-record-in-europe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> sold 31.18 million copies</a> dated December 31, 2020. In the same year, Nintendo Switch sold 27.3 million consoles. It is also to be noted that ACNH was not out till March 2020, making this stat even more stupendous.

[caption id="attachment_1680216" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1680216" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Animal-crossing-.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" /> Image Courtesy: IMAGO[/caption]

Although the game has won many hearts doesn't mean it was flawless. Even the record-breaking console had its flaws. The biggest criticisms of the Switch are its low graphical power, a commonly known issue with its Joy-Con controllers, and its lack of a customizable user interface. While there was no fix for the graphical power, Nintendo failed to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-nintendo-games-takes-the-first-step-to-improve-the-joy-con-experience-for-its-users-free-of-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">address the Joy-Con-related issues</a> for the longest time and they have yet to do anything about its simplistic user interface.

Paying heed to these problems could have won more hearts, but they did their best and produced new things. Since its release, Switch has received several new features such as Bluetooth headphone connectivity, media transfer, and game folder creation through numerous updates.

 Nevertheless, the hybrid console has done what it was intended to do. Since its release, the Switch has sold 122.55 million units as of December 2022, making it the third best-selling game console in the world, and the second best-selling Nintendo console behind Nintendo DS, which stands at 154.02 million units sold. The top of the overall list is the PlayStation 2 with over 155 million sales.

Although untouchable, Switch might finally have competition

The Nintendo Switch has been untouchable in the market for a long time. Its uniqueness has been the major reason why it stood out when compared with other consoles in the market. Nintendo sells to its own niche, hence its popularity is never threatened by its several rivals. 

However, new players have entered the race and the one threatening it is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/steamdeck/">Steam Deck</a>, which can now be considered a better alternative. An <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-is-steam-deck-in-trouble-asus-rog-unleashes-a-game-changer-in-portable-gaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even better player is set to step into the field</a> as ASUS 'ROG Ally' is said to be the 'best in the world' after boasting its features recently.
<h2>Nintendo Switch Components - Details, Costs and Differences</h2>
Nintendo Switch comes in three variants, Original, Switch Lite, and OLED. The original is the first model ever launched for this console which costs $299.99. Switch Lite is a lighter model that comes without a dock and an extended battery life costing $199.99. The OLED model comes with a larger OLED display and an updated Dock with a LAN port. Along with these, the price increase is also not small. The expensive of the lot, the OLED variant costs $349.99.

(Note: The above-mentioned price are subject to change from time to time depending on the offers)

The Standard Switch package comes with basic accessories such as a charging adapter, a dock, and a pair of Joy-Con controllers. Switch Lite only comes with a charging adapter. The adapter is used for charging the console and powering the dock in dock mode. Joy-Cons can be detached from the console and used as individual controllers for offline multiplayer game sessions, adding to the flexibility of this system.

Nintendo <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-after-a-year-of-its-release-is-the-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack-worth-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced an online connectivity feature for Switch</a> called Nintendo Switch Online. Users can purchase this service in tiers and receive various perks with more expensive tiers. For example, its most expensive tier called Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass offers a bunch of DLCs and a library of its older systems to subscribers.
<h2>What are some of the best games to play on Nintendo Switch?</h2>
<ul>
 	<li>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild + DLC - One of the largest games on Nintendo Switch and its first blockbuster. It was a launch title and many purchased Nintendo Switch to take this game on the go.</li>

</ul>

</ul>
<ul>

<h3>The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - History, Gameplay, and 2023 Update</h3>
The Legend of Zelda is one of the most well-known video game series, with a strong history that started 37 years ago. The Legend of Zelda, usually known simply as Zelda, is a Nintendo action-adventure franchise that began in 1986. The series has had over 19 installments, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild being the most well-known.

The 2017-released game is a Nintendo exclusive, as are other Zelda titles. It was the final Zelda title on the Wii U and the first one available on the groundbreaking <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nintendo-switch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Switch</a>. BOTW follows an amnesiac Link who is on the journey to save Princess Zelda while also protecting the Hyrule Kingdom from Calamity Ganon.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-830811" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-switch-hero.jpg" alt="The Legend of Zelda" width="1920" height="1080" />
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gameplay</h2>
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stays an action-adventure to its core like every other installment in this Nintendo series. Although, there are some other elements like role-playing and stealth, the most mind-blowing features of this 2017-released game were the Open-world setting and the non-linear gameplay.

Because of the above features, fans had a lot of freedom in exploring the Hyrule Kingdom. These features led to the introduction of scavenging mechanics; Link has to scavenge through the Hyrule for resources. In this game, Link doesn't have access to undegradable weapons. So he needs to create new weapons with those resources to replace the degrading ones.

The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nintendo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nintendo</a> exclusive also didn't give infinite stamina. So, the amnesiac hero will have a tough time running across or climbing any mountain in Hyrule. If Link loses his stamina while climbing a mountain or swimming, it will lead to his death. But despite these limitations, the game heavily focuses on exploration. So the above actions must be risked to progress in the game.
<h2>When does Breath of the Wild happen in the Zelda timeline?</h2>
The Zelda timeline is possibly the most complex one in the history of video games. The 19 installments in the Zelda series are neither released in chronological order nor are they all set in the same timeline. Instead, there are multiple timelines in this franchise. So when does this part happen in this confusing timeline?

Breath of the Wild takes place after all prior Zelda titles in the series and doesn't have a proper link to any of the three classic timelines. The creators want to leave it to the players to come up with the connection between this and the past games in this series. But having no links will also let Nintendo to further explore this series in the future.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1196323" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/legend-of-zelda-botw.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a hack-and-slash Zelda game released by Nintendo in 2020. This game is set 100 years before the events of Breath of the Wild, serving as a prequel to the latter. But the events of the Age of Calamity diverged from the history provided in Breath of the Wild, resulting in a different timeline.
<h2>What happens after Breath of the Wild?</h2>
This new Zelda saga, which began with Breath of the Wild, did not conclude in 2017. There is a sequel to this Nintendo Switch title which is called Tears of the Kingdom, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-why-did-the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-take-so-long-to-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">set to release on May 12, 2023</a>. This next Legend of Zelda game will take up the plot where Breath of the Wild left off.

The amnesiac Link will embark on another journey across Hyrule, exploring the land and skies in search of the strength required to defeat the menacing threat that endangers the Hyrule Kingdom. There are rumors that this nemesis is none other than the iconic Zelda villain Ganondorf, the Great King of Evil.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gameplay The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stays an action-adventure to its core like every other installment in this Nintendo series. Although, there are some other elements like role-playing and stealth, the most mind-blowing features of this 2017-released game were the Open-world setting and the non-linear gameplay. Because of the above features, fans had a lot of freedom in exploring the Hyrule Kingdom. These features led to the introduction of scavenging mechanics; Link has to scavenge through the Hyrule for resources. In this game, Link doesn&#8217;t have access to undegradable weapons. So he needs to create new weapons with those resources to replace the degrading ones. The Nintendo exclusive also didn&#8217;t give infinite stamina. So, the amnesiac hero will have a tough time running across or climbing any mountain in Hyrule. If Link loses his stamina while climbing a mountain or swimming, it will lead to his death. But despite these limitations, the game heavily focuses on exploration. So the above actions must be risked to progress in the game. When does Breath of the Wild happen in the Zelda timeline? The Zelda timeline is possibly the most complex one in the history of video games. The 19 installments in the Zelda series are neither released in chronological order nor are they all set in the same timeline. Instead, there are multiple timelines in this franchise. So when does this part happen in this confusing timeline? Breath of the Wild takes place after all prior Zelda titles in the series and doesn&#8217;t have a proper link to any of the three classic timelines. The creators want to leave it to the players to come up with the connection between this and the past games in this series. But having no links will also let Nintendo to further explore this series in the future. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a hack-and-slash Zelda game released by Nintendo in 2020. This game is set 100 years before the events of Breath of the Wild, serving as a prequel to the latter. But the events of the Age of Calamity diverged from the history provided in Breath of the Wild, resulting in a different timeline. What happens after Breath of the Wild? This new Zelda saga, which began with Breath of the Wild, did not conclude in 2017. There is a sequel to this Nintendo Switch title which is called Tears of the Kingdom, set to release on May 12, 2023. This next Legend of Zelda game will take up the plot where Breath of the Wild left off. The amnesiac Link will embark on another journey across Hyrule, exploring the land and skies in search of the strength required to defeat the menacing threat that endangers the Hyrule Kingdom.
