The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was definitely one of the most surprising announcements of E3 2019, and it has left Zelda fans buzzing about the possibilities. Some think that the images in the trailer hint at co-op and a playable Zelda, whereas others have been going a bit deeper, going as far as playing the trailer in reverse in search of clues. This method is how one popular theory has started making the rounds, that the villain Zant from Twilight Princess will play a role in Breath of the Wild 2.

Zelda fans have been playing the music from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 trailer backwards, discovering that some of the notes actually seem to play part of the game over theme from the original Zelda on the NES. However, other notes appear to be lifted from some of Zant's music in Twilight Princess, which some have taken as a hint that he will be returning in Breath of the Wild 2 in some capacity.

Listen to the music and compare:

The theory stems from a post on Reddit by user ReroFunk. ReroFunk offers up the possibility that the zombified creature we see in the Breath of the Wild 2 trailer is none other than Zant, or that the hand reviving the creature is Zant's. Not only does ReroFunk offer the similar music as evidence, but he also points to the pose that the zombified creature makes in the trailer, which is a similar pose that Zant does in Twilight Princess.

Beyond the possibility 0f Zant being in Breath of the Wild 2, ReroFunk has noted some other potential connections to Twilight Princess. The green light that appears in the trailer is reminiscent of the Twilight Realm, plus the markings in the trailer look like symbols that are seen in Twilight Princess as well.

Since we know so little about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 at this point, it's hard to say if this theory is accurate. However, it's hard to deny that the evidence is compelling, and it will be interesting to see if there are even more secrets hidden in the Breath of the Wild 2 announcement trailer.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is in development exclusively for the Switch.
