22 is the most reasonable one simply because we know there are 52 play styles. Link has four, everyone else has 2. That means someone else has 4. (Ganon if I had to guess)
Ghirahim. Me and my friend have wanted to co-op Ghirahim and Zant since day 1.
Also, to anyone questioning playable villains: Ghirahim and Zant both have weapon icons in the features trailer.
The overwhelming majority of interesting supporting characters in the Zelda series are female, so it makes sense. Aonuma said the roster was about half female. Most of the other half likely consists of all the Zelda villains, most of which are male.
In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask there were neon lights and robots.
The series has always been pseudo-medieval, and all technology is magic fueled.
Your point is moot.
1. Link's origin - Zelda had Hylia, and Ganondorf had Demise. They are technically separate characters, but were caused because of that deity. SS Prequel.
2. WW Link's origin - WW Link was said to have no connection to the past hero, Adult Timeline had no Link during the great flood, meaning...
It's sad to see a new female Zelda villain who has a lot of potential but is reduced to "talking breasts who's main obsession is the Oh So Perfect Male Protagonist"
I do like her, but I just would've liked to see someone who WASN'T another Veran. Zelda is known for a diverse cast, so what's the...
That's kind a moot point. It's not like all the playable characters will be on one screen at once. Regarding a lot of objects on screen at once, that's also a staple of the Warriors series and we've seen that in gameplay with hordes of moblins and hylian soldiers...
Also, I have no idea why...
Huge rosters are a staple of Musou games. Aonuma himself said he was surprised by the size of the roster in this game. And as for continuity issues, we're not even certain this takes place ANYWHERE on the timeline, and even if it did, the description of the backstory (Link defeating some evil...
Many people thought Ghirahim might be a woman when we first saw glimpses of him as well. I'm not buying the whole "Female Ganondorf" idea. Make up and long hair do not make a woman. They share the same earrings with Ghirahim. I'd say this person shares qualities with both Ghirahim and Ganondorf...
Vaati.
-It's obviously not Ganon unless Nintendo decides to revive him for whatever reason (But I could go into a rant as to why I would absolutely detest that)
-ALTTP1's connections with Four Swords from the GBA re-release (The Palace of the Four Sword was even included)
-Nightmare's final...
The Wind Fish could be a descendant of Levias. Hyrule Historia says that Jabun isn't Jabu-Jabu for instance, but a descendant of him. Could be the same case here.
Form of communication between the Sheikah, later adopted by the Royal Family. Hence the name "gossip" stone and only being hearable using the mask of truth (a Sheikah related item)
