oh hey, Malon could be in this if they wanted, given that Lon Lon Ranch was destroyed during the war
That's a lot of bombs.It looks like it
At least we know who actually cause that town to becomes ruin.
RIP gaming news aggregators. You're going to eat for days apparently

I never played a musou game befor, but since this is about a full blown war, what a better way right?
What are the odds?
Last night I was struck with the urge to listen to the Divine Beast themes just to creep myself out, and I thought "This is such a horrible moment because you never see how they die. They should leave it to the imagination."
Aonuma heard me I guess and was like "Aww, you're cute."
But I'm not complaining too much- I GET TO FIGHT WITH URBOSA AND REVALI AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH-!!!

I'm so fucking there. I take it this is canon to the Zelda franchise, unlike the first Hyrule Warriors.
Don't do this to me
The fact that it's apparently canon may trick me into getting it.
Are these games only eye candy/spectacle -- is there any skill involved?

I never believed that excuse, it was probably to make Link and Zelda visually distinct from eachother considering their similar color schemes in BotW.
hence a prequel to BotW, as it's being released after but it's chronologically set before
Possibly but I think this is going to sell a lot more than a bog standard Hyrule Warriors 2 would have at least.
Wait, what??? Was this the same artbook they localized a year or so back?
Part of me thinks she might actually be the main for the sequel, but I have nothing to base that on
Yes, it was written and is being supervised by the official Zelda team
Damn. Out of nowhere. Loved Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U so I'm super down for this.
Kind of conflicted about the story aspect though. Hope it doesn't negatively impact the story/vibe of BOTW itself

(at least Nintendo's directly involved on the story).
A person with standards so low that they like almost every piece of media released also likes Musou games?
That's not exactly shocking.
This is such an awesome way for us to play with the rest of the Hyrule Champions. These characters were bursting with potential but still underutilized (despite the DLC additions). Looking forward to playing as Urbosa and Revali.
I didn't like Hyrule Warriors all that much, but setting this 100 years before BotW is a really great premise. I just hope it has more diversity than the first game and the level design is more interesting/more complex. Being able to use some of Link's tools from BotW so you can, for example, destroy a metal bridge so enemy reinforcements cannot arrive or you could destroy a dam to flood a battlefield rather than fighting the enemy would be great. Hopefully they include some of that excellent design and environmental interaction which made BotW so special.
They're kinda challenging in higher difficulties but I wouldn't say they require that much skill. They are pretty much "cool attack animation goes boom" the game
which I love, but it isn't for everyone
I'm day one! I'm not even a huge Warriors fan. I only played FE warriors and got burnt out. But this new Zelda game? Botw engine? Zelda team also giving directions to gameplay, story, lore, world and graphics? I'm definitely getting it lmao.
It's insane how this game didn't get rumoured or leaked.
One thing that doesn't make sense if this is a canon entry:
How is Zelda using the Sheikah powers during the Calamity? Zelda didn't unlock her powers until everything was already too late. The Champions were already defeated, Link was on the verge of being hit with a killing blow and out of desperation Zelda actually used her powers.

Oh my god, I'm so hyped, and I've enver even palyed BoTW.
I honestly think that a Musou game is actually a REALLY GOOD format to tell BoTW's story. Think about it, this is the story of the destruction of Hyrule and the champions tasked to stop it. The event itself must've been apocalyptic, with waves of enemies and rogue guardians everywhere terrorizing and destroying the country.
