Very good
Of Legend the Zelda
1) The Legend of Zelda: Dusk Vale (or: Evening Basin, Dawntide Pursuit)
2) The Legend of Zelda: Voyage Beneath (or: Sealed Relics, Ancient Fragments)
3) The Legend of Zelda: Heart of the Wild (a real winner imho)
4) The Legend of Zelda: Roots of the Temples
Notes:
1) The 2019 BOTW2 announcement briefly shows the outside landscape in what is either dawn or dusk. Night or Evening could plausibly be a strong theme of this game, given speculation that it might be a darker game in tone. If you consider past Zelda titles, the keywords 'Twilight' and 'Skyward' have appeared before.
2) These are based on the idea that the tangible location or elements from the cave scene will be part of the title's theme.
3) I like the keyword 'Heart'. It is poetic, and it can be used in a geographic context ("Heart of Darkness", "heart of the continent") and it can be used in a context to suggest love, companionship, or spirit.
4) The keyword 'Root' is also quite good. It can suggest going underground, if that is in fact the dominant theme of this open world. It also can be used in a context to refer to a "source", as well as refer to something ancient or connected to the past. It also allows the title to retain a reference to nature without using "of the Wild". "Temples" might be a good keyword for this sequel for obvious reasons.
The more I think about it, the less I believe something like "Ganon", "Calamity", "Evil', "Miasma", etc will appear in the title. The inciting incident or antagonist force that brings the hero the action doesn't deserve to be part of the title. It is just assumed, and it isn't all that distinctive between games anyway.
I'm also somewhat cool on the idea that one of the player's items will feature in the title (like "Ocarina of Time", "Wind Waker"). There is a very good reason that they went with "Breath of the Wild" for the first game, because the biggest difference with the rest of the series is what is beneath your feet, not what is in your inventory slot. Even though they might add a new gameplay item which is elevated above the others, most such items are very plot related and don't contribute to the moment-to-moment "feel" the way the overall open world enviroment does. By this logic though, TLOZ: Wind Waker should have been titled after Oceans or Seas since its enviroment was such a distinctive part of that game's feel. This suggests any titular item for BOTW2 is likely to itself have a name that can suggest something about terrain, geography, or something else from the open world.

When u think about it, Calamity Ganon is basically the same thing as Metroid Prime: poops phazon, is responsible for calamitous destruction in the past, sealed away doing nothing until you walk in on it, first form ambulates all weird-and-crab-like and utilizes the main Elementals Powers of the game (Power, Ice, Wave, and Plasma in Metroid's case; Fire, Laser, Axe, Spear, and who knows what else in Zelda's case), and the second form is a victory lap where you go pew-pew at it with a special laser (game theory: is the hyper beam just hi-tech silver arrows?)
In conclusion, I can conclude that the conclusive name of BotW2 will be "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes", or maybe "Echoes of the Calamity" if they're fancy.
Also, Dark Link will make an appearance.

"But I thought the 'Hero of Time' was Link in the Ocarina-Majora-Twilight timeline"
No you fools, the subtitle is a reference to Zelda
Well, I don't want to brag, but it looks like I called it. Looking forward to ZoD
Also they never show Link's face in the trailer, and he has crazy long hair at one point and a weird arm, so maybe you play as someone else (Zelda?) sometimes? Or there's timeline schenanigans? THE MIND REELS AT THE IMPLICATIONS
Return of Groose
Nice of today's direct to confirm the real title will be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2: Skyward Sword 2: Electric Boogaloo.
