The Guardians will probably be allied units for most of the campaign and them turn on you in the final few maps.

Though maybe our friend will survive it in some way. I mean some of the guardians get through unscathed (the ones in the shrines, Robbie's oven that he really wants to gently caress etc).

Some noobie advice in spoilers though don’t be afraid to just go off on your own and ignore this.

Head to Kakariko village first like the game suggests you do. Once you’re done there, head for Hateno Village (Far East)to get the last of your sheika slate upgrades. After that you can truly go gently caress around and do whatever. If you want to go after the four Divine beasts, here’s a good order in terms of difficulty and reward: Zora domain (north of Kakariko), Death Mountain (north of Zora but you really can’t miss the giant loving volcano), Rito Village (far west), and the Gerudo Desert (far Southwest).

I would change this to Rito Village first (I mean of the divine beasts; definitely go to Kakariko/Hateno first overall). Getting Revali's Gale first is absolutely game-changing as far as exploring the world goes. Plus, IMO, it's by far the easiest to complete.

They actually let him keep it.
It kind of bums me out that cool looking Zelda spin offs keep dipping into genres I don't love. I couldn't get into the original Necrodancer or any Musou game. I'm very tempted to try again though.

Unless this is a budget title i can't see how its pre calamity BotW canon cast only. There's maybe 7-8 notable characters max from that era. The first HW got a river of poo poo on release for only having 13 characters.

Persona 5 Scramble (The last KT crossover musou game) had about that many playable characters and I don't think it was any worse for it at all.

Fixed, but playable Makar also would have been good, now that you mention it. We got Medli but not Makar!

I just realized they could make a pretty penny selling some of Link's clothes from BotW as costumes for characters. The Barbarian set would look fitting on Daruk, Stealth Armor is a no-brainer for young Impa, and Link himself is absolutely going to get the Gerudo outfit.

Yeah I left Revali's Gale until the end of the game after I'd finished everything else - god drat did I regret that. As much as I enjoyed the hell out of BotW it would have been even better if I'd gotten that sooner.

I mean they could pretty easily pad it out with OCs (they have a unique little guardian on the cover who's almost certainly a character), the Ganonblights etc.

And you have, at minimum

Link
Zelda
Revali
Urbosa
Mipha
Daruk
King Daphnes
Impa
Purah
Kohga

Who are all active and important during the period. We've definitely seen either Impa or Purah in the trailer as well.

Then there's a lot of background characters who get mentioned in diaries and the memories who could show up like Link's dad (who was a knight and good enough to be chosen to teach Mipha how to spear fight). Or the Koroks and Great Fairies etc.

Cadence has a mode where you don't have to act on rhythm for accessibility reasons, but I'm not sure if you can activate it in the demo (in fact my brain can't even remember if there's a demo or if I'm just making that up)

I wonder if any missions in this game will explain some of the more mysterious areas of BotW. And maybe a mission with King Dorephan throwing a guardian off a cliff.

Surely there's going to be some kind of dimensional shenanigans that throws other Zelda characters into the mix, if only because I can't imagine they won't take the opportunity to keep the huge existing cast playable.

In the main campaign probably not, as that being an accurate retelling of the Great Calamity seems to be one of the big draws for this.

I could see something like Tingle's spirit coming to protect the island named after him. Same with other characters with BotW landmark references, but most importantly Tingle.

Never played the first Hyrule Warriors, but I fuckin loved the storyline in BotW so I’m abso-fuckin-lutely getting this one!

Also I’m guessing this means BOTW2 ain’t coming till like 2022 and this is just to tide us over lmao

To the degree that they're modifying the original, rather than creating something entirely new, that could cut down on the development time but this being Nintendo and BotW being such a landmark game, they're probably doing something ridiculous.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reveal is literally: [image of BotW Hyrule in all its glory] "You've explored Hyrule before... [image pans down to show a cross-section of Hyrule from the side and there's a subterranean layer 3x the size of the surface] ...but never like this!" Followed by some sky layer with a floating Hyrule Castle.

Hyrule Warriors - Prelude to BoTW: The Definitive Holdover Edition still looks pretty cool, though.

I've never played a musou game before until Hyrule Warriors definitive edition, and lemme tell ya, its a real fun game. The adventure mode is a massive time suck, but you could easily play the legend / story mode. I imagine they'll have original playable characters for this game, similar to the first one. Hopefully someone less annoying as Lana...

Given that we see Zelda playable in her adventuring gear and using the slate but on the cover in her dress, I'm fully expecting the ending to be unlocking and playing as awakened Zelda as she goes to seal herself and Ganon away.
