The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors

[MrYoshbert]

American site is up.

Looks like the final title really will be called "Hyrule Warriors".

If you read on the american site it says advance the story to unlock more characters there must be a ton of characters then?

Famitsu says Agitha and Lana are playable, whoever that second person is. I really want to see Mikau and Darmani.

[Terminal Devastation]

Famitsu says Agitha and Lana are playable, whoever that second person is. I really want to see Mikau and Darmani.

Okay. After initially making sure Agitha was who I thought she was... and then figuring out just how she'd even work in this situation.

I want this to be true.

If just for one of two possibilities of her move set.
Possibility 1) She uses some of the insectiod enemies and bosses in her moveset... or is even using one as a mount!

Possibility 2) Good Bee.

Both would also be nice.


Also... I'm really hoping this means they are pulling two or three playables from each "era" if not each game in the series. I mean... Midna and Agitha from TP? I'd find it very odd to pull relatively minor NPC from a game you have a rep from already for a playable if you didn't already have a decent rep count from all the rest of the series.

Son of a bitch, we better get Medli and Orca.


Playing as Agitha will be ridiculously rad though, great choice if it turns out to be true.

My wishlist for this game (knowing full well that the amount of question marks that were on the site for unknown characters is much smaller than my list, but whatever)

Heroes (Or Non villains at least?):

-A Goron (Darunia, Darbus or the like)
-Ruto (Or any Zora warrior)
-Ashei
-Groose
-Tetra
-Kiki (The blue monkey from A Link to the Past who was UNFORGIVABLY absent from A Link between Worlds)

Villains:

-Agahnim (Wizuro seems to have his archetype down though, so I'd let it slide if he wasn't in)
-Ganondorf with the options for a huge sword, two swords or a trident
-Pig Ganon
-Onox
-Skull Kid
-Twinrova
-Garo or Garo Master
-Gomess
-Igos Du Ikana


As you can see, I have a bias for villains. X:

[Helmo]

Skull Kid, Ezlo, Zelda, Link, Impa, Ricky, Moosh, Dimitri

thats all I need

[Kriven]

Link's Uncle would be pretty sweet...

[Jermungandr]

As much as Link's Awakening is one of my favorite games in the franchise, I couldn't really come up with any characters from it that really represent either faction very well.

Rick, Dimitri, and Moosh I imagine would make good summon attacks for either Din or Maple.

[TomGuycott]

Great Fairy is already confirmed

Spoiler

to have ENORMOUS tits.

Seriously, she was in the video. Would be interesting to have her fight though.



Also, I just saw this:



My hype for this game is so high right now.

[Kriven]

You guys keep forgetting...

[TomGuycott]

I think I mentioned being mildly worried about a particular roster image. This is the one I was talking about:



It only has 9 slots, and with Agitha and that other girl announced we're down to like... 3 unknowns.

However, given the select screens of various Warriors games tend to differ very considerably, I'd imagine there could be another screen for, say, the evil faction, or other factions entirely. It's hard to say, especially with it still in development.

[Jermungandr]

I remember at some point during E3 one of the developers confirmed that there was going to be way more than nine characters. I can't really remember who said it or when though, but it's definitely a detail that stuck out to me at the time.

[Koopaul]

Still keeping my fingers crossed for Tingle!

[Ark Kuvis]

after playing Link Between Worlds, I'm pretty partial to seeing newcomers Ravio, Hilda, and Yugo.
