[L Thammy]

Neiteio, it'll be alright. I'm there for you buddy.

 

[Neiteio]

that's not Saria

EDIT: lol

 

[TelluricTokoro]

Okay, now I actually want to play as her.

Despite this game coming off as way more slow-paced compared to other Warriors games, I want to give it a try solely because of the unique weaponry.

 

[Marjar]

Oh hey, the Wind Waker leaf.

Now we just need a Wind Waker character...

Please?

 

[mullet2000]

Lana still looks so incredibly out of place stylistically. It's very jarring to me.

 

[ShadowElliot]

The Lil Deku Trees are so adorable!

 

[Banana Aeon]

Wow, is she Cosmo or something.

/s

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Lana was better with her book and spells don't like her treehugger version

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So the Book of Spells seemed to be based off Nayru (as is Lana's color scheme), this one is Farore...does she have one more fire-based weapon for Din?

 

[L Thammy]

I just realized that Lana's spellbook was a missed opportunity to bring back to the Book of Mudora. Imagine all of the translation-based attacks she could have had.

So the Book of Spells seemed to be based off Nayru (as is Lana's color scheme), this one is Farore...does she have one more fire-based weapon for Din?

Maybe she has a move where she uses the Deku Stick to light some torches.

 

[Neiteio]

This move-set looks awesome and all, but if this means Saria is not in the game...

You had one job, Tecmo-Koei

 

[Kinsei]

Should have been Saria or Makar.

How is there more than one Deku Sprout?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Holy shit this was early

 

[Lulubop]

Not feeling her, loving everything else about this game though.

When is that direct again?

 

[Dimitri LH]

Saria....;-;




Music was great though!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Her moveset is hype.

 

[Kinsei]

Not feeling her, loving everything else about this game though.

When is that direct again?

It's at 11 PM EST tonight.

 

[chaobreaker]

As if this game needs another little girl.

 

[Lulubop]

It's at 11 PM EST tonight.

Oh nice.

 

[Neiteio]

As if this game needs another little girl.

wow so racist

 

[Papercuts]

I don't think the water/ice type attacks mesh well with that weapon at all, looks weird.

 

[L Thammy]

As if this game needs another little girl.

She's really old though.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

As much as I don't like Lana this moveset is one of the better one's I've seen. Very acrobatic like Impa's Naginata.

Also,

I don't think the water/ice type attacks mesh well with that weapon at all, looks weird.

 

[Kinsei]

I don't think the water/ice type attacks mesh well with that weapon at all, looks weird.

Isn't elemental affinity based on the weapon and not the weapon class? I'm pretty sure you can find a Deku stick with no element.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah, the water/ice attacks just kind of come out of nowhere, lol

At any rate, I'm guessing the point of the Direct is to show off Saria

 

[chaobreaker]

I don't think the water/ice type attacks mesh well with that weapon at all, looks weird.

I assume she has cyrokinetic powers? Why not use them in tandem with the stick?

She's really old though.

Just like in my Japanese animes.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So, I was thinking, one of the weapons we've yet to see are the Medallions from Link to the Past...

The other night I thought it'd be cool if Rauru was playable, and in addition to using the Medallion Powers (since he gave you a Medallion in Ocarina), was summoning Kaepora Gaebora to attack.

At the very least, that owl better be in.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Jesus Neiteio are you still slapping crap on that avatar?

OT, I liked everything, except for the 3 deku saplings looking back and smiling after the attack. Cheesy as hell. In a game made of cheese.

 

[MAtgS]

Seriously, how does no one in Tecmo or Nintendo ever stop & said "you know, this weapon might be better suited for a kokiri" at any point during development?

 

[L Thammy]

I'm hoping for Malon. With Romani's alien hunting and dairy-based attacks.

Just like in my Japanese animes.

You know, I was really resisting the urge to add "oh god I've become a Nowi fan" to my post.

 

[Kinsei]

Lana does the same thing when she is using her book, so it's not totally out of place.

 

[Fandangox]

I like Zelda although I don't care all that much for it, and I am indifferent about Saria, but even I find it baffling that they decided to give this weapon to her as opposed to Saria. Her Spellbook weapon fits her a lot better than this.

Either way, I assume that she still has ice/water attacks because either:

a)That's her main element in her game. Everyone in the Musou game has one. (She might be related to Lanaryu, who knows)

b)Water is life. Essential for all living things, i.e plants.

 

[Neiteio]

I haven't tweaked my avatar since December!

 

[OricWindstar]

Neiteio, it'll be alright. I'm there for you buddy.

that's not Saria

EDIT: lol

Haha, perfect! I agree with Neiteio, seems odd this isn't Saria.

 

[Kinsei]

I just realized that in less than 24 hours we'll (most likely) know the entire playable roster. Who do you think will be the final three?

My picks are
Ganondorf
Zant
Ghirahim

 

[Papercuts]

Isn't elemental affinity based on the weapon and not the weapon class? I'm pretty sure you can find a Deku stick with no element.

No idea on that. Would that mean attacks like her summoning the icicles would be replaced by something else?

 

[Neiteio]

They must be saving Saria for Hyrule Warriors: Xtreme Legends: Saria Edition

 

[ShadowElliot]

It's at 11 PM EST tonight.

I almost forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder!

 

[Kinsei]

No idea on that. Would that mean attacks like her summoning the icicles would be replaced by something else?

Maybe they'll be replaced with blasts of wind, or some leaves? The reason I think that it's based on the weapon and not the character is because the element shows up in the weapon info screen.

 

[Fandangox]

I think those are the three most likely.

Spoiler

THE GROOSE THOUGH

 

[Fandangox]

Also those icicles are clearly part of her moveset, the type of element you guys are talking about that depends on the weapon affects the enemies only. i.e it'd freeze them, shock them, etc.

She just might have an innate ice element (that still affects enemies) and decided to theme both weapons around it.

 

[Astral/H3X]

I haven't tweaked my avatar since December!

BUT WHEN DID THE BEARD GE- oh Donkey Kong...

 

[Subaru]

Wind Waker leaf should be in Smash Bros (Toon Link) =(

Sheik is awesome btw <3

 

[ohlawd]

dat cavalry attack <3

 

[Neiteio]

BUT WHEN DID THE BEARD GE- oh Donkey Kong...

Ha, yeah, the beard was added when Cranky Kong was revealed for Tropical Freeze

 

[blitzwolf215]

This move-set looks awesome and all, but if this means Saria is not in the game...

You had one job, Tecmo-Koei

Don't give up hope, she could be a secret character.

This really makes me wonder why they gave Ipa ice/water attacks using Biggoron's sword, but fire attacks when using the naginata. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

[Dimitri LH]

They must be saving Saria for Hyrule Warriors: Xtreme Legends: Saria Edition

Will buy 30 copies! Day 0! Final Destination! Saria only!

 

[zeldablue]

...

Yeah, Saria's not making it in.

It looks like the Kokiri might be out in general.
