I approve this trend.
Bwahahaha. I'm almost done watching the first 26 episodes of 2012 Jojo so this is even funnier to me.

I just see Shia as a sexual woman who is proud of her body and wants to show it off, it's harmless having a character like that IMO. Now if Impa and Zelda got huge breasts and started wearing revealing clothes, then it would be obvious fanservice.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I wonder what mine would look like with a blue cape instead of red.

Enjoy this beautiful, covered up Shia avatar. I even made her breasts smaller.

Skyloft!?Old, new?
From The Legend of Zelda UK's FB page/
First time I've seen it. So they're sticking with Hyrule Warriors and no mention of Legend of Zelda anywhere. Though maybe they're also banking on people recognizing the shield, it's pretty iconic at this point.Old, new?

And what up with the flying island? Skyloft? Canon confirmed?
More like invading bad thing in the sky warping over Hyrule castle.

If it isn't fake, looks like they stuck with the Hyrule Warriors name.
I am at work, but if someone bothers to scarf my avatar i'll love them with a passion
Hope this is good.

Same shape and has the statue of the godess, it's Skyloft alright.
I think that's the Goddess statue and those are loftwings though.
Edit:
Canon confirmed?
Aw snap, now we're talking
I'm on phone, most likely i'll have to see it on a proper screen and you are right.
It would look like this?
That's awesome, thank you! If I ever change my mind for Alpha Sapphire over Omega Ruby, I'll switch to this avatar.

But this is after Hyrule was established, and Zelda exists, so some weird time/dimension travel fuckery must be going on.

More likely art from the intro, Zelda games like to lead in with a storybook style intro to set the tone of the current game.

Unlike Impa who is directly engaging in combat, Shia until now was not a combatant but simply balancing the Triforce. It would look weird if she was wearing armor.
Oddly enough I think this may be gaming history's first OVER-armored female, the way the plats and epaulets are arranged make me wonder how she moves her arms, all to look intimidating. the leather with bracers would be enough in my opinion, though of course wanting to bare her chest is a big no no its still doesn't assault the eye so expect less bitching on that front though just as impractical as Bayonetta.
Noooooo! ;-;
The game is not yet rated.

But she's the villain. So her sexualization is being used to show how sexuality in women is evil. It's just another character who you ogle over while also not feeling bad about. It's okay to hate her/kill her because she's being the typical "slut" character. And her tendency to act on impulse or use her boobs to seduce only builds upon the idea that sexualized women are evil, corrupted and worthy of contempt...from both sexes.
No matter how you spin it, while being pro sexualization or anti sexualization her character is still very wrong for a Zelda game.
And humanity.

Always wanted to play as Link! A dream come true!
I don't think I need to have played the game in order to realize that she's dumb fan service for neck beards.
Just look at her:
Why do we always need to do the "neckbeard fedora tipping" thing with this?
Are you really trying to pretend the only people that find adult women attractive are stereotypical fat nerds?
Play as fan-favorite characters like Link [break here] and Impa for the first time in the series!

It's saying Link is a favorite character and that you get to play as Impa for the first time.

I find issue with this flawed logic they don't look like Shia because they're polgoned poorly. Not because they're inherently less fanservice. Look at any character with their boobs showing, they're sharp and pointed.
So making the argument they don't look like aren't as pandering as Shia is pointless because they couldn't do that even if they wanted to.
Now look at the great fairy. In twilight princess a recreation of a previous sexy character.
This is fanservice and it's even more disturbing, because she looks like a young girl.
That's not to say such fanservice is inherently good, but that's some pretty awful double standards you got there and at best your being fallacious.

Damn fat nerds taking all the fine women!
It fits. Note Zelda has english-germanic, hungarian, and then random japanese (my namesake), and other stuff. The Poe Sisters anmes (Beth, Jo, etc); Telma, Nabooru still makes me scratch my head and think its pdgin version of a proper name.
Shia by contrast is name or word in a large center of the world (Middle East and Hellenic) as well invokes old world culture (Shia Law and similar stuff).
Its seems the theme with the badguys is outrageous Dynasty Warrior implications of boss monsters so I'm hoping for Gohma,
BTW is is just me of is Impa's weapon not just inappropriate (admittedly she's gone from private aid with some skills to captain of the guard) but that screen shot I think she's flashblading them with a guitar riff out of Godhand or DMC

Then they should've typed that as their sentence, because that's not what the one they have actually says.
It's a poorly worded sentence. There's no punctuation for any type of break. As typed, the sentence reads straight through and the description is applied to both Link and Impa.
The only reason anyone would read it otherwise is because they already know that Link is always the main character so the way it's said is changed to force the sentence to comply with your existing knowledge base.

This is pretty much the only thread I have ever been on where breast discussion has shitted-up a thread.
