Hyrule Warriors

Sweet! Marin and Linkle's boots came to the wii u version. Hopefully the map will too. I want more silly character costumes.
As was revealed with the Legends DLC announcement, all new DLC characters and their Lv. 1-3 weapons will be available for the Wii U as well. All new maps, Lv. 4 & 4+ weapons, and costumes will be exclusive to the 3DS entirely.

Oh thanks. I was getting confused with the dlc. That's a bummer though, I like blue Ghirahim. lol

I haven't played it in months.
I want to play it again, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
I know I'll get to it eventually.
 
So am I the only one that still actively plays this game or no

Wow just ignore the fact that i am still alive... It hurts... Cri...

After all those times that i spammed you on LINE ;_;

Anyways, i am very upset that the new adventure maps are 3DS exclusive.
I was so excited about them initially...
 
I loved this game but honestly, it's a little overwhelming with how much there is to do in it. I can't go back to it now.
 
Sand Rod is probably Lightning and looks REALLY FUN. Will probably be my favorite of the 2 new movesets.
Toon Zelda is Light. She looks basic but I hope she has other, more interesting moves.

Quick thoughts on the DLC before I go to bed.
-Toon Zelda is FANTASTIC. She attacks waaay faster than she should be attacking, she has combos, she has power, and DAT WEAK STRING FINISHER. She's pretty bad at giant bosses but great at everything else. Definitely a new favorite of mine. Also... Zelda, Sheik, and Tetra have 1,505 strength at level 255. Toon Zelda has 1,530 strength at level 255. Proof Toon Zelda is the best Zelduh.
-The Sand Wand looked extremely fun and I enjoyed it when I first used it (I was laughing the entire first level I used it and 5 minutes after I finished it). But after using it on some more challenging stages, it lacks damage. It barely does anything to health bars unless you use C4 or C5, but those attacks are also slooooowwwwwww so you at take damage. At least it's realistic, throwing small amounts of sand at people isn't going to kill them, but driving a flaming train over them then blowing them up with said train's cannon will.
 
I am stuck on the Twilight map. I was trying to get Ganon's 8 bit weapon, but you need an A on the mission before it. I'm not sure I have an A anywhere on that map even playing with co-op. It is an obnoxious mission where you need to beat 2 dark Zants, then 3 dark Lanas at the same time. My brother and I can get an A for time, but not get near the A for damage. I feel like if you get hit once, you lose the mission. Any advice?

What characters are both of you playing as?
 
We were using Ghirahim and Link to have light and dark type advantages. Ganon might get hit less than Ghirahim though... I love him, but his posing leaves him open to attacks sometimes.

Lana is weak to Lightning, not Darkness, so Ghirahim wouldn't be that great of a choice. I'd say use Ganondorf's Trident (if you have it), otherwise go with Zelda's Baton. With the Trident, you'll want yo use YYYX (or BBBY for Zelda controls) to gather up the Lanas, then use YYYYX (or BBBBY) to combo them into the air. You can also use YYYYYX / BBBBBY from far away to hit them for a nice chunk of damage. With the Baton, you'll want to use mostly X (or Y in Zelda controls) from REALLY far away, and then YYX / BBY if they start to get near you. Link should be protecting Zelda the entire time to make sure nothing hits her.
With Link's Master Sword, all you need to do is spam YYX / BBY lol.
Ghirahim is one of my favorites too :p You can dodge before or during his posing to cancel it.
 
Oh, I didn't realize Lana was weak to lightning, I guess Ghirahim was winning with level advantage. We failed with the trident because I am not good with that weapon, but it did help to have the second player hover around the attacker and protect them. We won with Link and Ghirahim. Thanks! Now I have the awesome giant 8 bit keys for Ganon. lol That mission was easier to pass.

We also got the dlc. Why is Toon Zelda a ghost in armor? I want to run around as adorable Zelda, not a knight.
 
Not sure if I should get this game so would like some advice.

Is it worth ?30-?35ish? Or should I wait for some price drop?

Is it a story driven game? Unlike Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros since those have 0 story. I would like to keep coming back to it for more past the first few plays.

How long do you usually play it for? Not sure if I'll be playing in long times or short bursts. I don't mind either too much really but story would drive me to longer times.

Does gameplay get too repetitive? I've heard it can.


Thanks I'll ask if i have more Q's.

In Spirit Tracks, Zelda's spirit is separated from her body, and in specific dungeons she's able to take control of Darknuts to help Link. I like that they picked this for Toon Zelda, it's pretty much what I imagined back when they announced the DLC.

It is worth the price of the full game and DLC. There's hundreds of hours of play in these games, which are filled in even more with DLC packs.

There is a story mode in the game, but it is not story-driven per se. Counting the DLC, there's 2 storylines in the Wii U version and 4 in the 3DS version. However, the biggest part of the game is the Adventure mode, which are 8-bit maps with separate stages that have various goals. To clear each map you have to beat the final boss, but each map also offers a ton of unlockables (Hearts, costumes, weapons).

Personally I play a few stages at a time, so about an hour or two, before putting it down for a while. I mainly play the 3DS version.

Does gameplay get too repetitive? I've heard it can.
Sometimes, yeah. I love the game, but there are times where I just can't stomach the gameplay for a while. I put it down for a while (generally a few weeks) before picking it up again, and then it's a blast. The Adventure mode also lends itself very well to this, because it's easy to pick up and continue where you left off.

Generally I'd say it's worth the money, but I'd also say that it's best to think about whether or not you've enjoyed hack and slash titles (or another Musou game) before purchasing it. Hyrule Warriors is not exactly the same as titles like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, but I think it's a good genre to measure your interest by.
 
I got Hyrule Warriors Legends as part of a bundle with my New 3DS XL. Was a little put off, since I've never really played a Zelda game... but felt right at home when I realised it was also based off the Dynasty Warriors series game play. Haven't really played too much of it, but I'm so far loving it.

I've only really played the Legends mode and haven't looked at the Adventure mode, or the upgrading of the fairies. Are those features worth playing around on?
 
Well Adventure Mode is like 98% of the game so avoiding it would be a terrible mistake.
 
Hyrule Warriors is a fun game. I would recommend it. I play the Wii U version, but I think the 3ds one has more available maps. My favorite mode is the Master Quest dlc since it has all of the coolest unlockable costumes and lets you play as Cia, Volga, and Wizzro. There are a variety of mission types so you can just pick a different mission if one gets boring. If I don't feel like playing a long mission I will pick a quiz where you defeat the right enemy based on the clue or one where you have to battle a couple of giant bosses.

There are also a lot of opportunities to customize your favorite characters. You can unlock new weapons and look for the best skills to put on them. It is also fun to beat missions where you can win a new character costume. When you beat enemies and bosses they can give you items that can be used to level up your character's abilities. You can give them extra special attacks, boosted defense, more combos, etc. It is also fun to play this game in co-op mode. It is especially helpful if you are having trouble with a mission. A second player can help beat enemies or protect your allied base from attack.
