Aonuma went on to explain that the scope of the ambitious sequel is the reason for the delay and teased new gameplay additions.

“As previously announced, the adventure in this sequel will take place not just on the ground as in previous games, but also in the skies above. However, the expanded world goes beyond that, and there will be an even wider variety of features you can enjoy, including new-encounters and new gameplay elements. In order to make this game’s experience something special, the entire development team is continuing to work diligently on this game, so please wait a while longer. That’s all for today’s announcement.”
