You can summon TP Wolf Link using the Wolf Link amiibo to fight alongside you. That's pretty cool.

Looks like there aren't going to be towns, just villages due to the decline of Hyrule. Which makes sense to me. Not sure what people were expecting in that regard, or why they're getting mad. Makes perfect sense for the narrative. But oh well.

Actually, scratch that. That hasn't been confirmed since villages kinda are towns.
