Do you find it good or bad?
I actually so far feel like - at least for the new characters - they've improved the direction for the English.
The Japanese version, Kohga has this really theatrical voice and speaks in like...idk how to describe, kinda like the Shakespeare equivalent for English? so I can vibe with the English adaptation of it.
Oh, true. I guess i just hope they pull something unexpected!
I'm excited for a human villain though - maybe this is the fortune teller? One of the two things I actually liked from Skyward Sword was Ghirahim (the other was Impa haha), so this has me intriged
It's inconsistent, a Gerudo male is born every 100 years or so, but some sources say that one hasn't been born since Ganondorf. BotW seems to indicate the occasional Gerudo male pops up, since they have a full clothing Style for them.
They could also be side missions/endgame missions as well. I mean playable post story for sure but there could be side story missions from the villain perspective, that's what the end of the trailer felt like
Some previous Ganon lackeys used the Gerudo emblem even not being Gerudo themselves, so that doesn't mean much. Example:The one at the end has a Gerudo emblem on his back.
Maybe it's a non-Ganondorf evil male Gerudo.
If that character is the fortune teller, that might make it more possible that it's Agahnim. Given he basically did the same in ALttP.
Yes. They only have a male every 100 years, but they're not all evil nutcases like Ganondorf.
Beedle? Impa? Epona? The Great Fairies? The Deku Tree? There's more than just the Triforce characters. And obviously, even if it was just the 3, they could add more.
One possibility is that we've only seen bog-standard generic Yiga soldiers now, and presumably there's some strong-but-not-named-character Yiga unit to act as a general for the smaller forces. It could conceivably be the model for that role rather than a formal character.
Can't remember. If that's the case, i don't see any issue. Agahnim's last appearance was so long ago, they could just make a female one in this. Same goes for Vaati imo.
Doesn't really matter anyway, it would just as easily be a magic disguise. Sheik passed as male for 7 full years, for example.
Not counting alternate timelines, there's only one Ganondorf (the OG from Ocarina of Time). So the Gerudo males before and after him would be other people.
I think Four Swords Adventures had a second Gerudo turn into Ganondorf or something but... it's FSA.
All characters who were previously shown to be reoccurring was my point, I didn't say I listed them all. Vaati is more believable than Yuga because he goes MC-FS-FSA. But Yuga I really think they aren't bringing back unless all of Lorule coming back is the master plan. Which, maybe that is for BotW2! Idk.
itdoes say, in reference to the buff Yiga "a loyal new ally" plus he's voiced, so I think at least one is a character
"Making A Champion" suggests the fortune teller may have been the late queen. It leaves open other possibilities, although I find it interesting it mentioned that.
I loved it! "he's gonna kill you all to death"
It felt something out of Samurai Jack for some reason
Ah, fair, I'd misparsed the "Loyal new ally" and the "Ominous figure" as referring to the same person, but you're right that that's not quite what the text says.
(Although I'm not sure I'd refer to an existing Yiga clan member as a new ally... unless possibly it's someone who joins up with the Yiga during the narrative? In which case, I wonder if they might be someone else under the mask?)
At the start of the video, that looks like the garrison just east of the Great Plateau. You can see the plateau in the background. And on the Treehouse stream, there was a mission icon around there. Maybe this takes place prior to the Gerudo Town mission, while Link and Zelda are traveling south.
Something must be going on with him. Even if he was around Impa's age during the Calamity ... just look how Impa went after 100 years.
Thank you all for the replies! I realize what I was trying to say was, "Can there be a male Gerudo who is not the incarnation of Demise?" I recognize Ganondorf is just the one dude.
And it turns out the answer is yes! Which makes sense. A great evil every 100 years seems exhausting.
I've wanted them to come back for sooo long. With BotW bringing back the Gerudo after years, I thought it would finally be their chance. And it was perfect since BotW could've used a villain other than force of nature Ganon in the castle.
If they're really up to some master plan OOS/OOA style that would be so cool!
I figured that just meant new as in, we didn't see him in BotW so he's a new character to us. But yeah, could be that too!
Would be very interesting if the queen were Gerudo then. Might be why Urbosa knows her so well.
I hope Riju is playable in a non-canon mode. Maybe as non-canon DLC. She could race around the battlefield with her sand seal Patricia.Yes e.g.:
The icon is on her hip accessory.
Actually, this plays out well, because Minish were originally going to be in BotW.
In a Warriors game, I very much expect them to be. Maybe not (all of them) in story mode, but surely in the free play modes.
Kohga is a title, IIRC. So the leader of the Yiga clan will always be Kohga
Definitely not impossible, some could be non story unlocks though
Quite possibly. From the design and mystic elements, this being is quite surely the foreteller that saw the return of Calamity Ganon and warned the King. All while utilizing the Yiga Clan to perform the needed rituals to unleash the Calamity. So a Agahnim that this times plays both sides like a fiddle to bring forth its master's return.
Yeah he was still with Capcom at the time but then he joined Nintendo after.
