So we know that there is:
And most likely after today's video:
Hyrule Warriors eventually had 17 playable characters in the base game, plus another 10 from the paid DLC. So that would leave another 7 or so hopefully to be revealed.
Let's hear your predictions for the remaining slots please. I'll get the ball rolling, mine is Pikango. He's an artist in BOTW. I definitely think he has a good chance for inclusion as he would allow for a very creative attack style.
Though they haven't revealed it, I believe we will see playable enemies. Warriors games almost always have playable characters from either side of the battle. I'm thinkin' Yiga member(s), minions (moblin/bokabolin/stalfos), Guardian (perhaps pre-corruption), and/or Lynel. Perhaps their could be a Captain of the Royal Guard added, maybe Link's dad...
I'm coming around to the idea that the base roster is just going to be the 7 we know about right now. All the content seems to be tied directly to the main story map so that makes me doubt that villain characters or unrelated side characters will also be playable. With how soon we got gameplay for Impa after her reveal I'm thinking that the new characters getting introductions really are just NPCs.
EDIT: Also, all playable characters use the Sheikah Slate, so that's something to consider as well.
I'm still hopeful that all the characters will get multiple weapon-sets, though, now that Link is confirmed to have at least 3 (and Zelda still implied at 2). I'd like to see someone get a move-set based around the Giant Boomerang.
Maybe an alternate campaign comes around in an expansion pass, hard to imagine this game won't get DLC.
Hmm... is Pikango old enough though? He doesn't look as thoroughly aged as Impa and Robbie...
Still crossing my fingers for Linkle and Tingle... ... ...and maybe Beetle('s great grandfather).
