Impa

Impa a playable warrior and a secondairy protagonist in Hyrule Warriors. Like in previous games, she is the caretaker of Zelda.

Impa starts off as the caretaker of Zelda and Hyrulian Army Captain, and would never fail to fufill her roles. She has great sympathy towards her soldiers, and acts like a sensai towards them and Link. She, among others, is destined to help Zelda and Link to defeat Cia, and eventually Ganondorf.

As a Hyrulean Army Captain, Impa is very skilled with large weaponry. No matter how large her weapons are, she can move them very swiftly, and thus is able to attack groups of enemies in a matter of seconds. This is because she is the leader of the Sheikah Tribe, a group dedicated to protect the Hyrulian Royalties as swift as possible. The only elements she is capable of using are the water and fire element.

Impa only has, as of current, 2 costumes. These costumes are only simple recoloured versions of her normal outfit. She has a red colour alt. and a black colour alt., both of which comes with the current released DLC.

Impa is, thanks to her attitude and speed, a brilliant warrior, and a true sensai for many warriors. She has a combat style that involves swinging her big weaponry around and ninja-like techniques.

Impa's speed and damage capabilities seem to be the same no matter which weapon she uses. The only difference is the way she hits enemies with her weapons. The Giant Blade is more horizontal based, whilst the Naginata is more vertical based.
