    Not to be sexist, but is Link really the only playable male character in this game?
    I hope they add more male characters soon.
    Given the circumstances, that question is not sexist, at all, and if someone tells you that it is, then it's likely that they're sexist themselves :|

    This is appropriate right?

    Anyway! They said that "at least half" of the roster will be female - as far as I know, that is the only official word we have on the subject.

    To be fair, the majority of strong, important side characters in Zelda are female. Now that Ghirahim and Zant have been shown as a boss characters, I suspect Ganondorf will be a boss as well, and that Nabooru will be playable to lead the Gerudo. So there are only a few other important males I can see being in the game:

    --Groose
    --Tingle
    --Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule (if they decide to include Wind Waker characters)
    --Goron Rep (Darunia, Darmani, Darbus, whoever - If you consider them males...?)

    Other, more minor considerations include Linebeck (again, not sure if we're taking from the Toon World or not), Ralph (super cool but not well known enough), Rauru/Gaepora, and Makar. SUPER minor considerations include ERROR, Salvatore, and Bunnio (stupid gag characters).

    Apparently, we're getting another character reveal this week, and it's likely to be a Goron. So, unless they're designing a female Goron (which I personally would love to see, honestly), then we'll be getting another male characters this week.

    Here's an English hype trailer featuring every character we've seen so far, as well as a bunch of locations and items and whatnot. It's surprisingly comprehensive.

    I'm so hyped for this game man. Miyamoto and Anouma are appearing on a live stream later this week, so hopefully we get a new character announcement!

    Man, we get a worldwide Direct as well? How much more HW news do we need at this point?! There are TV commercials for it now, as well.


    You know what? Nintendo is getting much better at building up hype. All their Mario Kart 8 advertising/promotion was very promising, and this only further seals the deal.

    I can't WAIT to see how they promote Smash Bros.! You know they're really banking on those two games...

    I hope people riding the hype train won't be disappointed when they end up with a Dynasty Warriors game at the end of this, though. Because this is where I can see this going. :P

    @Katz

    Well I actually like DW/SW so.....

    Though I've read that the game does play a bit differently because of the Zelda style Z targetting and the general pacing - so that should be nice.

    Apparently Hyrule Warriors will NOT be having Online Co-op. It's a bummer, but at the very least, there is Local Co-op.

    I don't really care for Zelda and this game never particularly interested me, but there's one thing that's been bugging me. Is this the first time in a Zelda game that you get to play as someone other than Link? The only other time you play as someone else is in the CD-i games, right?
