    (The "shrike" is a type of bird known as the butcher bird, known for grabbing bugs and impaling them on nearby thorns. Lanius translates to "butcher" in Latin, it's part of the bird's sciency name.)

    Hah! I've never played FTL, had no idea they had a Lanius and a Shrike.

    Impa, the Enigmatic Sheikah, Sage of Shadow

    Pssst, if anyone wants to see in-game footage of Impa with her giant blade in Hyrule Warriors Adventure Mode...

    Impa, the Enigmatic Sheikah, Sage of Shadow

    Maybe. I believe I've heard someone mention that the demo version indicated 4 weapons for Link and 2 for some of the other characters, but I haven't seen the screen shot. This one sort of shows that off, I guess. I also think some of the playable characters will only have one weapon...

    I get the desire for it, though I definitely support the young, slick, agile Impa over the older "sit in the same place for a hundred years" Impa, hah. But it is true that we don't have any older characters.

    Impa, the Enigmatic Sheikah, Sage of Shadow

    Yeah. At this point, I'd be totally fine if Impa basically was a strong/slow Sheik clone. Prefer otherwise bla bla bla, but... any semblance of her being included is all I really ask. Charging up a handful of heavy hitting needles could definitely be fun...

    I personally have, but others probably haven't. She looks absolutely awesome, right?

    @8-peacock-8 Ahh, the aerial spike doesn't make TL bounce off anymore? Or something? He goes through Kirby but then bounces slightly on Greninja... Hrmm.

    I believe the third Goddess power would be Wind actually-- Din's fire, Nayru's Love, Farore's Wind. If, uh, "love" is assumed to be icy. We can start speculating as to what her third breezy weapon will be! A fan?!?! I'm only partially kidding. Fans are one of the more popular weird weapons of...

    Considering that I've seen Warriors characters wielding "weapons" such as a cup-and-ball toy or a three-stringed guitar, I feel like inventing a special Sheikah weapon wouldn't have been too much of a stretch!

    Impa, the Enigmatic Sheikah, Sage of Shadow

    Oh, huh, didn't know that. Definitely doesn't seem super stealthy since it can't really be hidden on the body like kunai/shuriken. Doing research, it looks like the naginata was a very popular weapon among onna-bugeisha, essentially female samurai. Nifty, nifty. I would've been fine seeing Impa...

    Impa, the Enigmatic Sheikah, Sage of Shadow

    Notably though, Sheik's main weapon apparently is the harp with the knives as a part of that set. Which is an interesting choice. I'm not really sure I'd say that the naginata fits her any better than the giant sword... neither really scream "shadow ninja gypsy clan warrior" to me... but I...

    The "two certain characters"? Which two? In any case, I can pretty much guarantee that if you see a screenshot of someone sized and shaped like a human then they'll be playable.

    I believe the bow will be an equippable item, the kind that all the characters can find in chests. The bow, the bombs, and the hookshot are all like this (we've seen Zelda with the normal bow as well, and we've seen Midna with the hookshot). All of the new designs are pretty dang sweet...

    You guys see this? Screen shots of Impa's newly revealed weapon for Hyrule Warriors: A halberd.
