A new "Legend of Zelda" game — a direct sequel to the blockbuster Nintendo Switch game, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" — was just revealed by Nintendo.
The Japanese gaming giant announced the game as its "one last thing" at the end of a broadcast focused on big gaming announcements.

It also appears to tease at the return of series antagonist Ganon, in an incarnation that seems to be inspired by his appearance in "The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker."
