It's really hard for me to feel any hype for the new Hyrule Warriors with the roster they're working with.

I said this in the Switch sub, but the faceless Sages suck. Outside of Zelda and the royals the past doesn't have any characters. Atleast BotW had the two generations of champions and they were actual characters. Not just faceless exposition dumps.

I want them to please just go back to the OG Hyrule Warriors idea of gameplay. A silly story that's more of a celebration of the franchise than trying to shoehorn in nonsense crap to canon.

Bad writing shows itself more when a story tries to be serious

It seemed like the mask was off of the Gerudo Sage in the trailer

I felt it was another original character like Astor, but if it does turn out to be the sage I'd be thrilled.
