oh HELL yes.
We're getting so much key art of characters that didn't have it in BotW. Only link Zelda kass and the champions did in botw I think
Whew, they look awesome.

I must admit I have no idea how Impa plays or WTF i'm doing, but I'm winning (it's awesome too!).
While I didn't expect the mini guardian to appear the way it did I'm almost certain that thecurrent time version of it was the thing spying on them from behind the tree, which will be reprogrammed and boxed up after the the time travel version sacrifices itself for Zelda, ensuring a stable loop.
I'm a little confused about how Impa works? What is her special and the absorb thing?
Right on, thanks.We don't know. There's several ways to pull of a time travel story(one being alt timeline, another is it already happened and the main results cannot be changed). Too little to know for sure
We were definitely led to believe the game would be "canon." I'm not sure if Nintendo ever used that word (lol, of course they wouldn't, that word is anathema to them), but that is definitely the impression we were given up until now.I don't really see the problem with it given that time travel in general is a staple of the franchise and used heavily so often that this is just an extension of that.
We haven't seen any data thus far to insinuate that there's going to be "happy" endings for everything but the short answer to that is this is not canon (or is it? Who knows.)
If they change things in the plot to fit this new scenario at least it's established from the first cutscenes what's going on versus FF7R's approach of "Hey here's some spoopy ghosts but also lol here's a bunch of random extra shit."
I think the "tone" of the first scene was such that we'll still have either heavy moments or bad ends for everyone involved, and even if we don't, we know it's not canon due to the way BOTW plays out. If I end up being wrong and they cancel out BOTW then yeah we can talk, but I don't think they're stupid enough to do that.
If anything this will be used to bring in more characters and more things into the game to play with and more spinoff chapters, which I don't see as a problem so long as there's a "true" ending that matches the original intent.
Yes, some stuff has been found in data minesI haven't dug into the demo yet but is there any signs (datamining or otherwise) that there'll be additional playable characters beyond Link, the champions, Zelda and Impa?
The time travel framing is actually really good if it is canon as it then allows them to go completely crazy with the non canon side content.

Yes
Icons have been found
Likely for sure King Rhoam and future Champions are playable. It seems Hetsu, Great Fairy, Kohga and monk Maz May be as well. Mini Gaurdian and Ganon might be or just be map icons

Was really hoping Purah and Robbie would end up playable, but I shouldn't be too surprised since they're side characters more than anything.

they want you to like them based on cutscenes so you're excited to buy them as DLC next year!
KT hides dlc stuff and this is gameplay icons for playable characters. They're in base
Yeah man that's what I'm saying. Robbie and Purah aren't here because they're going to be DLC
a new DLC with the future champions really made so much sense. I'm surprised they're in the base game and wonder how. Robbie and Purah being DLC doesn't really open a new campaign
True, I guess it was legends which really added the new campaign, and that was a completely separate skuWhoops thought you meant the future champions. Yeah I can see it
Dlc doesn't have to be canon stuff, heck likely it won't be a campaign. Most Warriors dlc is just characters with some new challenges, HW1 just tacked those onto challenge maps and an epilogue which is more than what most get
I enjoyed the demo a good amount. Handheld performance was decent enough that I could put up with it in the full game. Framerate held up okay and that's all I need, even if it doesn't look the best.

That's also part of the reason why I'm expecting changes. I have a hard time seeing the same guy who asked, "What would Link do?" be okay with the answer to his question being, "Nothing, 'cause he's dead." They'll re-write the ending so that Link can be there and be the hero.I think y'all are reading waaaay too much into the time travel shit. The Zelda team worked on the story for this. It is canon. No branching paths. It's just adding a wrinkle to the story we didn't know before--one which may come into effect in BotW2.

Beat the demo. That was fun. Fighting mechanics and Rune use is very good.
Did local co-op and the FPS dropped to ~10-15 when things got hectic. Docked. FPS dropped some during single player
Not surprised at all tbh. But yeah.
really...?From what I played, it help up really well in split-screen co-op.
yeah I think Cia's story was a free update but that's itTrue, I guess it was legends which really added the new campaign, and that was a completely separate sku
Totally called the future champions being playable in the base game!
Surprised that we're getting Rhoam and Hetsu but not Purah and Robbie. Guess they could be DLC or something.
With the character leak...
Will be interesting to see how they implement the future champions in AOC
I'm happy with the datamined characters.
I'm expecting more through free updates like the first Hyrule Warriors since the new villain is seemingly not playable.
really...?
We 100% only played in split screen (except for mission one since it's not even an option)
It was alright at times.
But certain encounters dropped to ~15 fps for sure for some moments.
One of them was Lightning Wizzrobe iirc with lightning on the screen. Funnily, a few encounters I expected a drop didn't drop that bad. Then some fights I thought not a lot was happening had steep drops.
also when you've charged all 3 symbols and use your special you get a much stronger special with a unique animation.I'm not completely sure about this, but it seems like ZR marks the enemy, and when you use a strong attack on the marked enemy it generates your clones. Not sure what other advantages there might be in attacking marked enemies (ie. increased damage, etc.).
