Hyrule Warriors - Now in Stores!

[Arc]

One of the best talking sword in the business. Fi's trailer is up!



Wow, she actually turns into the Goddess Sword as part of her moveset, haha. Anyways, Fi is much slower than I expected. Her movement speed leaves a lot to be desired and her attack speed is on the slower side. It would seem that all of her Normals involve a circular motion allowing her to counteract her slow attack speed, which is good. If I had to compare Fi to a past Warrior character, I would definitely say Nezha to a certain degree. The biggest difference is that Nezha is much faster, but the two seem to share some similarities in Charge attacks.

Woow, just saying that I never would have expected Fi to be one of the playable characters. This game just keeps getting better and better, I am loving the characters they are choosing to put in.

Zelda is back! Wind Waker trailer is up.



Oh, god. This is an unfortunate moveset. It's slow and its range is at most decent. Worst part is that it leaves Zelda's backside exposed, meaning she's going to be smacked out of her attacks mid-animation. Unless she has an amazing Charge attack that wasn't shown, Rapier is a much better option for her. Still cool that you can control the tornado for one of her Charge attacks.

Agreed, I'm with you on that analysis of Zelda with the Wind Waker. Speaking of which, why is she using the Wind Waker. Isn't that Link's thing? Hopefully that just means that items can be used on multiple characters because that really doesn't make much sense. Also around the 1 minute mark with that small cut scene where she initiates that tornado they use a LoZ song that's not normally produced by the Wind Waker. Hopefully that wasn't a soundbite from the actual game, because I feel like the Wind Waker should produce clips of music that it produced in it's actual game.

Nonetheless, I don't see myself using it as my weapon of choice. There isn't enough knockback for my liking from it, and that blatant opening in the back when you do the tornado is too revealing for attack. I like how they introduced the Wind Waker as a "weapon" per say, but I feel that it was a stretch that many players might just ignore when it comes to choosing their character set-up.

 

[Arc]

I'm guessing it would look rather odd for Link to be using the Wind Waker in a different art style that isn't Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass? I wouldn't be too hopeful on characters sharing weapons. If it was the case that sharing weapons was a thing, it would be unlikely for Zelda to get a different Musou with the Wind Waker than she does with the Rapier. But who knows? Link still has one more weapon that hasn't been revealed yet, and it might be the Wind Waker. But I'm leaning on the chance that it's going to be Bow/Boomerang.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

What are the weapon's he's currently using again? Sword, Fire Rod, and Ball and Chain correct? The Ball and Chain is one of my favorite Legend of Zelda weapons so I'm glad it got recreated from Twilight Princess. As much I'd love to see the bow be used, I don't think that he'll be using it considering doesn't Zelda use it? Wouldn't make much sense having two characters share the same weapon, and I don't think the boomerang will be picked considering it's never been a lethal weapon in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if it's either the Ice Rod or - which this is a stretch but I'd love to see it - the Skull Hammer. The Skull Hammer would definitely fit well for a Dynasty Warriors game in my opinion. Slow in attack, but the physics of sending enemies flying would fit very well for this style of game.

 

[Arc]

All of Link's weapons seem to represent a theme of Link's items. Sword is his obvious mainstay. The Magic Rod (yeah it's called Magic Rod in English not Fire Rod for some reason despite summoning flames), refer to his magical items. The Power Gloves/Ball and Chain represent the power and strength items. So, I don't see Ice Rod or Skull Hammer being the last weapon slot, since they're technically already represented. I'm surprised that they didn't use Megaton/Skull Hammer though. Of course this is all speculation, so for all we know I can be wrong whenever they reveal the last weapon, haha.

To be fair, Zelda's bow attacks are incorporated into her Rapier moveset. So, I think Link having a Bow as a primary as a weapon would be fine. Also, just found an interesting screenshot. Here. Shows Link with a bow, but seeing that his Sword and Shield on him, I fear that a bow may be a secondary item like the bomb and hookshot.

edit: Nevermind. Bow is a secondary item. Who knows what his last weapon is going to be.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

I just want Beedle to be a playable character in this game. Him going "Oooooohhhhh!" every time he hits a character would be absolutely hilarious.

Beedle as in the Wind Waker version, not the Skyward Sword one.

 

[Arc]

As long as his moveset incorporates his boat, I'm all aboard.

 

[Dragon]

New character is going to be revealled this week, in which rumors say it's gonna be a Goron.

Any other predictions? o:

 

[Klippy]

I think we'll get Ganondorf playable. They've yet to give him anything for HW, so I think there's a good chance we see some sort of reveal for him this week.

 

[Arc]

A Goron character is most likely due to how the tweet was hinting at it. Which I'm fine with. If it is a Goron, I can only imagine the only choices are going to be Darunia and Darmani, I'm going with the former since the latter wasn't all that important. Darunia also has two movesets he can utilize if he is a character, being his Fists as one and Megaton Hammer as the other.

 

[Arc]

Power Gloves trailer is up!



This is a badass moveset. I was expecting this to be much slower, but holy crap. This is waaaaaaaay faster than I anticipated it being. I honestly think that it's faster than his Sword and Shield moveset. Let's get a rundown. He can dig, he has some form of electric rekka, he can pick up a giant pillar, he can pick up an enemy, and he attacks ridiculously fast. I'd call this Link's best moveset right here unless his 4th weapon can bedazzle me.

 

[Mark Kamill]

Did he just flip the ♥♥♥♥ing screen 360? And is that a butt-rock Ballad of the Sky Goddess? This game just keeps climbing the ladder of ridiculousness higher and higher, there's just no end! This week is probably OoT week, with Darunia, the last DLC costumes, and probably(finally)Ganon. Maybe even Twinrova? Either way, there's no denying that this game is going to be the quintessential LoZ spin-off. Fanservice to the max, amazing gameplay(for a Musou at least)and some of the greatest butt rock to grace the Wii U! BRING IT ON.
Edit:Darunia just confirmed, along with Ruto and Shiek! So that's Agitha, Fi, Lana, Zelda, Shiek, Impa, Ruto, and Midna as the confirmed females. And considering how the cast is 50% female, that means we're missing at least 6 more playable males, unless yet another female gets annouced. I'm assuming its Groose, Ghirahim, Zant, Ganon, Vaati and maybe the Skeleton Dude from TP?

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

So when exactly are we going to get reps from Majora's Mask now that we got OoT reps, TP reps, and SS reps? A friend of mine suggested Skull Kid and the Happy Mask Salesman, and I'm trying to think of what other chracters from that game, besides the Masked Links, should go alongside with them.

That would be a little weird to see the Happy Mask Salesman as a playable, fightable character. Although it would be hilarious to see him run around with the Bunny Hood, Blast Mask, Captain's Hat, etc. as his move pool. The Masked Links could definitely be a playable character, even as only one character - similar to something like, Pokemon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If there was a quick transition from mask to mask, it could create an interesting dynamic and strategizing when it comes to fighting.

 

[Mark Kamill]

Deku Butler would be an excellent choice. Insanely out there, but I think out of all the Deku's that could be represented(if they have Zora's and Gorons then I think a Deku is gonna get in) he's the easiest fit. Unique design, an attack moveset that's gotta be one of a kind(seed shooting from the mouth combined with that spinny flower thing anyone?) and I'd even throw in some crazy plot, like him following the Skull Kid to exact his revenge!

Agitha got in despite having no fighting experience in Twilight Princess, so the idea of Happy Mask Salesman in Hyrule Warrior isn't much of a farfetched idea anymore.

 

[DJTiki]

Also Fi is playable, which kinda means that ANYONE has a shot. Just saying, we NEED Tingle. I'm already buying, but Tingle would be icing on the joke.

 

[Altairis]

Dang... Power Gloves Link is pretty fast. In the trailer Link is literally just chilling with a massive ball and chain like it's no big deal. And he flips the screen upside down! Looks like it's going to be fun to use!

Or we could have a female dominated cast 8) Although I do see Groose returning. Haven't Ghirahim, Zant, and Ganon been confirmed as enemies already? Why would enemies be playable characters?
