I'm really glad I managed to avoid that rumor. A botw sequel was not even on my radar and man did that make the reveal more exciting.Well I think the rumour was more along the lines of 2D Zelda in 2019 and new 3D Zelda in 2020, don't think it specifically spoke about a BotW sequel. Though I guess that considering the circumstances that was the most likely option.
