At the end of the trailer it says next update on 9.26!
We thinking....
direct?👀 or just another update?
we also are due for a Smash character I think

I had more fun than I anticipated with the first game, but I don't think I'll be getting this if all the old characters are gone. Musou sequels are known for expanding rosters, but this seems to be an exception given the new art style and BOTW-only box art. Personally speaking, going from a massive series-wide roster with the likes of Skull Kid, Tingle, Tetra, and Marin to just BOTW is an unfathomable downgrade.
Hopefully the versions/DLC will be much more logical to figure out, because I completely lost track on what the hell was up with that between season passes, 3DS exclusive characters and transfers, and the Switch version.
As far as roster: We will likely have:
Sword Link
Sheikah Link
Sheikah Zelda
Magic Zelda
King Rhoam
Daruk(Club)
Mipha(Spear)
Urbosa(Sword)
Revali(Bow)
Impa
Purah
Kass's Teacher
Robby
Probably Some friendly Guardians as well.
On the Evil Side: We Will Likely Have:
Whoever is the Yiga Master at the time
Hinox
Lynel
Stepp Talus
Ganon
That already is a far better roster than FE Warriors at the very least.

Also, this needs to happen like Ren needed to be fully voiced in Persona 5.
That'll be at the Tokyo game show digital events probably.
Edit: Yeah

Koei tecmo have a segment on the 26th. This update will no doubt be there.
Look you guys,
Mark my words - Link will speak. If not here, then at least in the Sequel. There is NO good reason for him not to.
In fact years before BoTW I was all about Voice Acting, and everytime I was like "ZELDA GAMES NEED VOICE ACTING IT'S 20XX" guess what Zelda fans reactions were.
Next step is a voiced Link.
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL Y'ALL AREN'T GONNA KNOCK ME OFF IT NO MATTER HOW HARD Y'ALL TRY

The trailer only shows her using a rune from the Sheikah Slate. That's different from the Goddess powers Zelda awakens later on.
The first game was a bland non-canonical garbage story. I hope this new one is meaningfully different, and breaks the capture-point structure. Just plop us on sections of the BotW map!
Granted, we don't know what new mechanics and systems might be layered on top here, making the cast potentially deeper from a gameplay perspective. Either way, this is a must-play for me: I love these characters, I love this world, it's a canon prequel, and the fact it's a coherent setting will elevate the stakes and make the battles actually seem meaningful (even if we already know they lose the war).
Looks great. Probably won't pick up right away without knowing the extent of DLC....I should probably get further in the first Hyrule Warriors too though I don't have my Wii U near me and all that extra content made me wonder if it's worth getting or waiting for a sale on the definitive edition on Switch.
There was a mystery game on Tecmo's TGS schedule on 9.26, it's probably that.
I mean obviously we won't get everyone back, but there will be side modes and I expect at least Lana and Linkle as bonus unlockables as they basically act as mascots for this side spinoff series. Then a number of characters(at least 6 fan faves) brought directly over for the side modes
I don't expect everyone. But I'd be greatly surprised if we didn't get a bunch of fan faves as bonus characters for side content. We haven't seen the back of the box and the official site isn't up yet. So we'll see on the 26th perhaps
I only played the original Hyrule Warriros but yes, there was a ton of side content that you can do.
Since it's canon, I'm sure there will be plenty of people digging through it for some kind of clue.
It is a good way for satisfying people that wanted a bit more meat on the story and cinematic cutscenes. I loved the BotW story and characters and even I haven't really played these kind of games, the way this seems to be executed makes me willing to give it a try.
I enjoy the live reaction to the news simultaneous than being late to the party. Thats the enjoyment Of Live Directs versus shadow dropped game annoucements.
I'd say the same but the fact that it's such a focused BotW prequel just means it's going for something entirely different that I'm completely happy with. Even just Link Zelda and the Champions playable would be fine for me.
If there is one thing I would like to remain "as-is" in our digital gaming world...
Its Link not talking.
I like his voice but I dont want him to talk.
They're probably not including any playable villains in this one because of the story. I don't know how they'd even contrive Ganon to be playable when he's a big puff of evil smoke in BotW.
I am super excited for this. I loved the original Hyrule Warriors, but as someone who loved BoTW story, but felt their just wasn't enough of it, this is exactly what I wanted out of the story. Obviously, the gameplay will differ, but I enjoy the Warriors gameplay in Hyrule Warriors, so again this has me super hyped.
They literally established that BotW!Link doesn't speak and gave a canon reason for it though? Kinda late to walk back on this one (not that they need to).
I really wanted to like Hyrule Warriors but it just wasn't for me ultimately. I couldn't be bothered finishing it. But damn it they might have me with this game due to its story being a prequel rather than some random story with a mishmash of characters from various games.
Phew! How unexpected! Can't watch the trailer because I'm at work :(
Yeah, I was thinking this too.
Yes indeed!
I really enjoyed HW I just didn't care for the Koei Tecmo's OCs or their story and I wanted to see a sequel with playable Champions so this solves both my gripes.
Just the "No not a Musou! Guess I'll just watch cutscenes in YouTube" posts. Lol
Yeah, I was thinking this too.
I mean... yes please?

I'm wondering the same thing. Like, does Nintendo have the stones to go full on Rogue One Down Ending on this? Or is the tory going to end with a "victory" before the actual war is over.
Then again, Majora's Mask was dark as fuck, so hey.
Well, you tried. Don't let this minor setback stop you from trying to be funny in the future.
