That said, I'm curious to see what happened to Metal Gear ZEKE. Probably lost underwater or something. Don't know. Then again, why would Big Boss return to the Naval Prison Facility in Cuba in The Phantom Pain (Kojima made clear that we would return there in that game, and even implied there would be a special bonus for those who had a Ground Zeroes save file)? That, I can't tell you. Especially considering Kojima said that what we're going to do there can only be done in a game or whatever. Maybe we'll get to capture our own "enemy combatants" or something. What I can tell you is that it's not a sunken offshore base that was destroyed 9 years before the events of the game.

but I'm just grasping at straws here Could be. Could be that Huey worked with XOF while Boss was in his coma, and he made a new Metal Gear for them. The Emmerichs don't exactly have the best judgement all the time.
