Hyrule Warriors

[Reindeer]

Just cleared the final Legend Mode level (finally). I've seen a lot of people saying it's difficult, but it wasn't any worse than Liberation of the Triforce. The setup of it was interesting, though. I also enjoyed the design of the two Wind Waker stages, they were pretty different from previous stages.

Spoiler: Actual spoilers

I think the extended ending is kinda weird. It's cool that Cia and Lana team up and fight against Phantom Ganon together, but at the end they just walk off after (once again) wishing away the dimensional rift with the Triforce. The story focuses more on the relationship between those two, so Tetra and Daphnes feel like they were an afterthought. Toon Link isn't mentioned once.
I wouldn't say this added story is disappointing per se, just kind of underwhelming, as it's very much the same as the first ending.

Anyway, time to start the collectathon.

I just had to play as Midna and I did not like using her. It just seems like her attacks were not attacking as much as they should have been.

I'm nearly done with the Great Sea map. It's a pretty great one, I had fun with it. At first it confused me because there were no item cards to use, but once they started unlocking I powered through... until I got to the left part. Now I just need to beat the stage that gives Volga's Level 2, because that stage has the only Hookshot card which I need to climb the Tower of the Gods.

I also like that even if you haven't unlocked a Level 1 weapon you can unlock the Level 2 (not possible in the Wii U version). The Great Sea map seems to have easier stages than the first, so unlocking a Level 2 is sometimes (somehow) easier for me than the Level 1.

It was possible, I did it myself.

Which weapon? As far as I can remember, the stages were weapon-locked, so you had to unlock the Level 1 weapon in order to get the Level 2/3.

Just the level 3 was weapon-locked, 2 was just character locked.
That means you could also get the level 3 before the level 2 as long as you have the level 1.

Just checked and you're right. I just misremembered.
I dread the Level 3/+ stages then. I was hoping those wouldn't have the weapon requirement.

Nintendo of Europe just announced the Master Wind Waker DLC Pack will release May 19th.

I just unlocked "Attend the Festival of Cuccos"
That sounds like So much fun.

I had a lot of trouble with it on the Wii U version for some reason. Not so much on the 3DS version, because the difficulty of it has been scaled down. I'd also ignore most of the Cucco events, it's easy to clear the stage with an A rank without bothering to fight those guys.

New distribution for Legends players. It includes the level 6 Water-element Fairy Lazuli, 500k Rupees, 5 Delicious Weird Eggs, 5 Delicious Lon Lon Milks, 5 Delicious Odd Mushrooms, 5 Delicious Deku Nuts and 5 Delicious Magic Beans.


So how far are you guys into the game? I've cleared the Adventure, Great Sea and Master Wind Waker maps for the most part, and the Master Quest map about halfway. I still need a bunch of level 3 weapons for various characters, but I'm making slow progress.

Yay new distribution. I don't really need any of it but it's cool regardless.
As for progress, I've unlocked everyone's level 3 weapons (dominion rod and spinner took me forever - because im dumb and it took me way too long to realize KO's didn't matter LOL), and the only level 4 weapon I've got are the gauntlets. I've completed the first adventure map, and am nearly done with the wind waker one - then I can start to complete the rest, I just need some spare time to play.

Some details (images in spoiler) about the next DLC pack have been announced.
Basically the only thing worth nothing is that Linlkke's new weapon are the Pegasus Boots.

"Marin is the big new feature of this DLC pack, being a brand new character. She fights using the Sea Lily’s Bell from Link’s Awakening, which she uses to create shockwaves. She can also summon the Windfish as part of her special attack.

As was previously announced, fan favorite Linkle gets a new weapon, being the Pegasus Boots. They have the lightning attribute and allow Linkle to pummel enemies with a flurry of kicks. She will also get help from her loyal cuccos when using this weapon.

This DLC also features a new Adventure mode map, unsurprisingly based on Koholint Island from Link’s Awakening. Besides the expected (all weapon ranks for Marin’s bell and Linkle’s boots, new My Fairy costumes, Skulltulas and Heart Pieces) this map will also feature Rank 4+ weapons for the other characters. It’s currently not know if these are new designs (unlikely) or if they will be more powerful – they will, however, have two elemental attributes instead of one.

16 new costumes each for the characters and for My Fairy will also be included

Other than some minor bug fixes and additions of new medals and such, an updated that will be released (for free) alongside the DLC pack will also raise the level cap of all characters."

Is any of this DLC for the Wii U version or is it just the 3DS one? I like new adventure maps, even though I am currently stuck on the Twilight Princess map. It's like all attacks are devastating even when they are not. I'm never going to get A's for damage. lol

Only DLC for the Wii U version are the new characters and weapons, everything else is 3DS exclusive.

 

[Reindeer]

Here's a trailer as well.

I've kinda been neglecting this game since the new Kirby came out, but I should definitely get back into it by next week.

Sweet! Marin and Linkle's boots came to the wii u version. Hopefully the map will too. I want more silly character costumes.
