"The new Breath of the Wild or the sequel to it, it’s not necessarily going to be related to Majora’s mask or inspired by it... What we showed you currently is a little darker," Aonuma said.

Zelda Breath of the Wild Sequel Is Not Related to Majora's Mask - E3 2019 - IGN

Director and Producer of the Zelda Series, Eiji Aonuma, told IGN that the Breath of the Wild sequel is not connected to Majora's Mask.

Another bonus, I didn't want to make a new thread:

Breath of the Wild Sequel Team Drew Inspiration From Red Dead Redemption 2 - E3 2019 - IGN

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma revealed this information in an interview with IGN. When asked what games the younger staff on the Zelda team were playing, specifically what inspired them, Aonuma replied “[Something] I did hear that a lot of people were playing was Red Dead Redemption 2."

When asked what open worlds inspired the Zelda team as a whole, he said "When I was working on Breath of the Wild, the director [Hidemaro Fujibayashi] was playing Skyrim."

I did get some creepy vibes from the teaser, but creepy doesn't always equate to dark. MM was dark largely due to the fact everyone is going to die in the game and you can see how it affects almost all of the characters. You couldn't save everyone and needed to reverse time to move forward. While you still got the rewards from quests, they were effectively undone everytime you had to travel back in time.

If they are going for a dark theme I hope they get it to MM levels and don't try to force it. Either way, this game is going to be lit.

I thought it looks more like Twilight Princess with that "rock patterns" art style. Not a huge fan tbh, i much prefer the "dark carnival" style in MM.

Either way, this game is going to be lit.

Actually it is going to be dark.

Sorry.

Interesting. I hope the story is more involved this time

Definitely got some dark overtones from the trailer, everything about it was foreboding.
Can't wait to see more
Looks like a direct sequel none the less and playable Zelda?
