What's sad about this is that Hunter is the only reboot character from the original series to be outside from the classics. It would have been cool to see Elora, Bianca, the professor and Spyros buddies to have their reboot versions in the reboot series but sadly it's just Spyro, Sparx and Hunter.
Its because it is a different game with another storyline, that is why we see another Hunter, it is not the Hunter of the original trilogy games, this is the new Hunter of the new spyro storyline
In the first three games Hunter is just a goofy funny idiotic character that skates flies with jetpacks and wings and constantly being...an idiot But in this game he looks Badass I don't know why Spyro and Hunter doesn't remember each other
it's because the TLoS trilogy is different take ont he storyline of spyro; the original spyro games and the trilogy dont have anything in common, really
