Some previous discussion: topic #17152, topic #22070

It's three months until the game's release, and I want to get this done before it gets out of hand.

This BUR will decidedly turn TOTK into a standalone title. Despite being the same Hyrule as BOTW, characters and enemies have been given a visual facelift, which further deviates the title from just a sequel.

There are some crossover/transitional posts that will get lost in the BUR, but I've been keeping track of them in favgroup #15325.

We should stop being so hasty to make implications as soon as a game is announced before anything concrete is known. Especially things like implying sequels to the previous game, which is harder to undo than just implying it to the franchise.

I think an umbrella tag for the series would be a good idea.

That means three copyright tags for one game. Or really, for one new outfit. At this point, the only difference in terms of fanart is that Zelda has a new haircut, so we're effectively using three copyright tags to describe one new outfit.
