It's been a week and Nintendo has just released Untold Chronicles From 100 Years Past - Part 2, featuring three more characters from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which hopefully will become playable at some point.
In this case we get a first look at some villains. We're introduced to Master Kohga, who seems to be the same as in Breath of the Wild. Well, since the Yiga Clan is made out of Sheikah, it's possible that he was able to grow very old or even stay young somehow. But it also might be that this Master Kohga simply got replaced by someone with a similar statue at some point in history, but this really looks and feels like the exact same guy.
Anyway, he gets full voice acting now, as well as a special commander for his troops, who looks like a Yiga Blademaster with the difference that he is dual wielding and has two pigtails on his head. I bet he also likes eating two bananas at once. But he could be like this game's version of Volga, just less serious.
In addition, there is a dark sorceress type of character who's aiding the Yiga and has a Gerudo symbol on the back of her robe, so she could be a Gerudo witch serving Ganon, similar to Twinrova. Of course it doesn't necessarily have to be a Gerudo, where this simply could be someone with allegiance to the old Gerudo Ganondorf from legends, similar to how Onox and Veran used to wear the Gerudo Symbol in allegiance to Twinrova. But since the Gerudo tribe in Breath of the Wild is overall opposed to Ganon, the simplest explanation would be a Gerudo who is still loyal to Ganon somehow.
This character also has the typical villain jewelry on their forehead, but in this case it's an eye that looks very similar to the Glowing Eyeballs that grow in Calamity Ganon's malice, further linking this new villain to Ganon. And her weapon seems to be a corrupted Ancient Core.
People also seem to be quite obsessed with the fortune teller who told King Rhoam about the prophecy, where it would be a cool twist if that fortune teller was this evil figure. But whoever it might be, we can briefly see that person in the Yiga Hideout, but also at the entrance to the Lost Woods at the end of the trailer, where the Yiga are probably trying to get to the Master Sword or chase after Zelda.
This is all very intriguing and I can only repeat myself when I say that all of these characters better be playable. King Rhoam, Robbie, Purah, Master Kohga, that Yiga commander and the sorceress... Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the villains only become playable via DLC, but in the least it's good to see that Koei Tecmo is working on some original characters again. I really liked what they did with Cia, Volga and Wizzro in the first Hyrule Warriors, so this could be equally good.
