Bandai Namco published a new countdown website Friday morning, which is counting some kind of mystery game announcement. The 72-hour timer on www.bne-project.com began at 8:00 a.m. ET Friday, and will end on Monday, December 21, at 8:00 a.m. ET.
Bandai Namco announced the arrival of the teaser site on Twitter Friday morning.

The site also features the branding #Mysteriousgame, as well as momentary flashes of a non-descript stone doorway, and a series of sentences in various languages, which flash on the screen every few minutes. According to translations from SiliconEra, the phrases are:
At least one of the phrases is repeated in multiple languages if you watch long enough.
SiliconEra also reported that fans believe the site may announce an English localization of God Eater 2: Rage Burst, an expanded edition of the game ported to PS Vita and PS4 in Japan in February, 2015. One fan, Ken Bladehart, posted an in-game screenshot that matches one of the images shown on the teaser site. Dualshockers also reported that the site likely teases an English localization of a God Eater title, but noted it could be either Rage Burst or God Eater: Resurrection, a remake of God Eater: Burst released on PS4 in October, 2015. As with all rumors, it would be a good idea to take these suggestions with a grain of salt. After all, we’ll find out exactly what Bandai Namco plans to announce when the timer hits zero Monday morning.

In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
