I agree. Oda has already addressed that this arc is going to be big for Zoro, honestly before we were even sure an arc would happen. It's just been foreshadowed that way - the same way we're not currently 100% sure there will be an Elbaf Arc, but we know if there is, it will be big for Usopp. Zoro's gonna get his shine. If him one-shotting an experienced samurai from Wano with a frickin Seppuku knife, destroying a house in the process, while also managing to get back all 3 of his blades doesn't tell you that, not sure what kinda signs you're looking for here. Wano just started and the man's already had 3 fights. People need to chill out.

Like you said, I'm more curious who else is gonna get some interesting development this arc. I'm admittedly not too excited for Luffy's, due to them kinda implying already that he's gonna recreate Garp's feats against the Rock's crew in some form or fashion. Due to his position as captain, his feats have to automatically trump Zoro's......which I normally wouldn't think about until the Garp-Hina conversation threw it right in my face. Everyone else though:

Chopper - I'm quite curious what will happen with Chopper, this arc seems like it could be big for him. The Cherry Blossoms are a huge theme of his past with Dr. Hiluluk, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn he visited the place at some time in his long life-span.

Robin - Due to the Kozuki Clan history and their association with the poneglyph language alone, we also already know that this arc should be huge for Robin and the things she might learn.

Franky - I'm not sure what Franky knows about Kaido, but Oda foreshadowed that Franky will have a major technological breakthrough this chapter in terms of discovering a weakness for Kaido/way to beat him. So excited to learn more about Kaido's god-level durability, and how Franky plans to counter it.

Sanji - On top of naturally clamoring for this guy's redemption after his showing in Whole Cake, the "leftovers" concept reminded me of his G-8 arc feats (yes I know they were filler). Sanji's ability to make the most out of seemingly nothing when it comes to food couldn't be any more relevant to the story than it is now. He can seriously help turn life around for these people in the meantime-between-time they are figuring out their plans for Kaido. Especially with kids like Tama going hungry. The irony of actually wanting Sanji to have cooking feats this arc more than an arc with a food theme aside, I'm hoping Oda is aware of the Ls that the fans are handing our chef.

Nami - We're all dying to see how Nami is going to incorporate Zeus into her fighting style. Not only that, but if Big Mom truly is due for an appearance this arc, how exactly will that play out? Will Zeus be more loyal to Nami due to her being able to feed him exactly what he wants when he wants? Or will he turn out to be a double agent who screws the Straw Hats over in the worst possible way at the worst possible time?

Brook - Homie is MVP of the One Piece 2017-2018 season, anything he does this arc is just icing (pun intended) on the cake (pun also intended). I know Oda is eventually gonna expand on Brook's backstory given all the little hints he's been dropping, but I don't expect it to happen in Wano, or for his past to be connected to Wano in anyway. He does use the classic "Iai" fighting style for a lot of his sword attacks, which is pretty Samurai/Wano-esque. Although we do know his journey with the Rumbar Pirates began in the West Blue, it isn't clear if this "certain Kingdom" hes from is there too.
