Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer: 6 Big Hints (& 7 Questions We Have)

3. Where's The Night King?

The trailer ends on a horribly chilling moment, as the army of the dead arrives at Winterfell. The living are ready, but it's still a frightening sight as those undead hooves plant down in the snow.

But wait, hooves?

While there's going to be a White Walker atop the horse, this does make you wonder whether or not the Night King is leading the attack on Winterfell? If he's on Viserion then he could be in the air, so not necessarily in shot. But might he simply be content sending everyone else to do his dirty work while he hangs back? Or could he have other matters to attend to? We don't see Daenerys or the dragons during the battle either - could they be having their own fight somewhere?
