It's definitely there, kinda hard to hear though cause of the commentary.
Interesting, I prefer the English voices in this particular trailer. Still not convinced of the need to have VO in a Zelda game though.
Also: high-speed flying for Revali would be awesome =) .

Obviously he unlocks at 100 korok seeds.
kinda feels like post story/side unlockables could be their own trailer. We still don't have the full site yet and we're a month out
I guess the glider the king gave to Link at the beginning of BotW was Link's glider in the first place, and Rhoam was simply giving it back to him.
Also, Hestu in BotW outright says that no one has been able to see him for 100 years, so clearly something happens at the end of AoC to cause the Koroks to become invisible to most people.

You must have never used ancient Sheikah technology. Solves every problem.
I don't think it's wise to look too much into this. If something happens, great. If not, oh well.
One of the Koroks is shown atop the wooden boardwalks in Gerudo Canyon. The HUD map from the desert mission on Treehouse Live was massive and appeared to include Gerudo Canyon, and this supports that.
We see Link in a mining quarry, either the one outside Castle Town or the one in Akkala.
Also, in the boomerang scene, maybe that town in the background is Goponga Island at Lanayru Wetlands or Deya Village near Lake Hylia?

Would have never thought a warriors game would get me this hyped up for its release but here we are.
It should work at least in one sense: it'll make Revali's interactions with Link hilarious. Revali complains in his journal (only available at the end of DLC 2) that every time he tried to talk to Link, Link just stood there and didn't react at all, which is part of the problem Revali had with him. So maybe they can actually use Link's non-responsive in that way.
I have a theory about the identity of the egg character. In BOTW, one of the early shrines is a combat training shrine called Ta'Loh Naeg. The guardian is white for some reason. This is the only combat shrine that does not reset after a blood moon. I think there must be some untold backstory for this guardian that would make it make sense for him to be training you, like the combat spirit in TP. I bet this tidbit was turned over to the team making Calamity Age, and they will flesh out a connection. Thought?
Oh wow, you might be onto something there if that's truly the only white Guardian Scout in BotWI have a theory about the identity of the egg character.

In general, it will be neat to see how many unique designs this game offers up that weren't in BotW.
Off the top of my head, the new designs seen so far include:
- Various villages and infrastructure, pre-Calamity
- "Baby Guardian"
- Young Impa
- Young Robbie
- Young Purah
- Magic Moblins
- Khoga's second-in-command
- The mysterious cloaked villain
- New paraglider designs
- Runes manifesting in new ways, i.e. the bomb bot
For the most part, many assets are straight out of BotW, from character models (with new animations, of course) to environmental geometry (modified in places) to the hand-drawn icons for weapons, materials, meals and elixirs.
It's gonna be hard to juggle my time between this, PS5 launch and Cyberpunk. Is it crazy that I'd say my hype for this game is about the same as the PS5 lol? I can wait a few months to play Cyberpunk tbh, but this I wanna play right on launch
What I would like to see:
If you replay BotW with AoC complete save data, it will play a cutscene of this guardian inspecting Link curiously, almost as if it remembers him, shortly before backing away and drawing its weapon, like with Sid in Dark Souls

Put it this way:
While I don't claim comprehensive knowledge of everything Musou, I don't think I've ever seen a (non-generic-mook!) character appearing in a Warriors game trailer who wasn't ultimately playable.
Sorry, I was just making fan fiction of why I'd like to see
it's a pseudo reference to a scene from Dark Souls where you can meet a younger version of a character who's a boss battle the DLC, and of you complete the DLC before a that boss fight in the main game, the opening cutscene is different.
Ha, I was going to ask what AoC meant, but I thought I would just look it up myself later. Now I get it.
Some scans from Nintendo Dream are dropping and they seem to point to King Rhoam being playable.
Kogha and Hetsu might be playable as well, judging from their art.

I'm hoping all the new characters in these trailers(Purah, Yiga general, etc) are playable.
King Rhoam seems to uses two-handed weapons with one hand, btw.
Dude's not going down without a fight.
EDIT: The Nintendo Dream scans do not confirm if Khoga, Rhoam, Purah, Robbie and Hetsu are playable. Only a blurb that was translated says: "It is unclear if those character are playable".

Them getting full on character art has me more positive about it but I really hope we get confirmation soon.
They will probably be playable, just not involved much in the story. I think you'll mainly be playing as Link, Zelda, Impa and the Champions for the game's story, and everyone else either gets a secret/extra mission focused on them or they flat out aren't playable in the story.
This game will most likely come with a beefy HW1 style Adventure mode, and that's where these other characters will be playable. I do agree that I'd love confirmation, but that's what I think will be the case.
There should be a reversible cover of a memorial to the champions—I don't think there was any one monument in their honour, but there should be one.
It does match—curious what people expected in that regard
I'm also thinking that the characters they're emphasizing in these recent trailers are all playable, but they're not showing any gameplay because they're only going to be usable in extra modes rather than the story (which is what the marketing is currently focused on).
I clearly remember them showing a graphic of there being only one question mark left with all of the revealed characters thus far (including Impa) during TGS.

Holy crap!
Hyrule Warriors: Legends had a bunch of characters who appeared in the story, but were never playable in it. Only useable in other modes or free play
AoC will likely continue that
