But wait. I thought the game had an online multiplayer mode... aren't we jumping to conclusions too quickly?

The extent to what online functionality it has will probably remain unknown until the release date gets super close.  But right now it sounds like co-op is def. ruled out.

I'd certainly be curious as to how else they'll implement it, if they do.

There are small details for the online capabilities on the game's Japanese page. Used Google Translate, forgive poor wording:

Buy additional content (DLC confirmed)

Automatic posting of play status to Miiverse

Play the special battle in adventure mode (this is probably our mystery online mode)

We'll probably learn what that mode is during the Hyrule Warriors Direct on Monday.
