A possibly major plot detail for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 has seemingly leaked from Daruk’s Italian voice actor Pietro Ubaldi.
This article contains Breath of the Wild and possible Breath of the Wild 2 spoilers going forward.
Daruk himself passes into the afterlife at the end of Breath of the Wild, meaning his appearance is a little odd in itself, but the apparent ancestor character is also a complete mystery.
Even more interesting, trailers for Breath of the Wild’s (still officially untitled) sequel have shown what looks to be a longer haired, seemingly injured version of Link.
