Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition - Sheikah Slate Weapon?

This week's Famitsu magazine has another article on Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch and the official Japanese website for the game was opened. There are two interesting images in all of this, which indicate new stuff. This is about the first one.

There's an artwork of the new Breath of the Wild costumes, where the one for Zelda shows her with the Sheikah Slate:


Most likely this is just a reference to her original artwork from Breath of the Wild, because they share the exact same pose:


But the Breath of the Wild artworks always gave me the idea for new Hyrule Warriors characters, especially with the Champions and their weapons. And if Breath of the Wild Zelda was her own character, the Sheikah Slate is the weapon type that I would give her. So, it's a possibility, but if the Sheikah Slate is not in this edition, Hyrule Warriors 2 will most likely introduce it as a new weapon.

I could see it as either Lightning or Water type, where the moveset uses Bombs, Magnesis and Cryonis to blow away enemies. I guess, it would be somewhat similar to Ravio's moveset, where he also uses Bombs and Ice Rod to attack in many ways, with a little bit of Twili Midna in there, where Magnesis would probably summon metallic objects out of nowhere to smash enemies with it. For the winning pose, Zelda could even use the camera and do a selfie.
