Hyrule Warriors: character trailer #15, Lana (with Deku Stick)
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Nagitata is alright with fire. I understand why Biggoron sword would fit better with fire though.
Those types of elementals seem to me like part of the weapon moveset as opposed to the interchangeable weapon element that you can fuse into a weapon, but I could be wrong since they might just make it different for this one, which would explain why Impa seems to have water for Biggoron sword.

Still not into this whole Lana thing
I can't believe the incompetence of the Hyrule Warriors dev team.
It should've been on their checklist from the start:
+ Turtleneck sweater and shorts
+ Green hair
+ Go-go boots
You know, the obvious things to check off in a game. And Saria would've covered those essentials. But nooooooooooo, we give her move-set to Lana!
I swear, these people...

I wonder if she was the Dynasty Warrior teams idea, or if Anouma and co. came up with her...
Maybe she's going to actually appear in Zelda Wii U and this is her debut.
The development team didn't even have access to ALBW characters. Why would they have access to Zelda U characters?

Lana has some really cool weapons. She looks like a fun character.
The DLC costumes for the most part look really great. Not digging the SS stuff that much (Zelda's bangs, yeesh), but the rest are awesome. OoT Link is my top choice for him, and I think I'll switch back and forth between OoT & TP Zelda, since they're both excellent.

It's definitely to appeal to a Japanese audience, because from what I understand The Legend of Zelda is a series that enjoys popularity mostly in the west
Frankly I don't care who came up with her, I just feel like she clashes with what the Zelda series has been doing so far stylistically
Might be a "stick to characters from realistic 3D Zeldas" mandate
Well Zelda's in and he's a Kokiri.

they needed to keep your hype at a level that wouldn't cause the planet to explode
Lana is literally Hitler.

*Sigh*
This game needs to come out already, can't wait to play it. D:
Dude why Saria? What do you want her to do against enemies? Waving at them?
Nabooru would be more fitting.

It still kinda aggravates me that they made movesets perfect for Nabooru (Naginata) and Saria (Deku Stick) and just gave them to existing characters. On the one hand I can understand not wanting to make the roster an OOT-fest, on the other...they went to the trouble of making these perfect movesets for those characters. It is a bit mind boggling that they are just assigned elsewhere.
I'd like Nabooru, too. But Saria has always been my favorite of the OoT Sages. I just love her character design. Not an extraneous detail, and the color scheme is PERFECT. And of course, she's Link's childhood BFF.Dude why Saria? What do you want her to do against enemies? Waving at them?

Would have been a fantastic moveset for Makar or Saria. If at least one of them isn't in with the moveset cloned over that would be a tremendous waste of potential.
I guess worst case scenario it still seems like a lot of fun to play with - but it would be tremendously odd to give this moveset to Lana of all characters if they weren't planning on doubling up some of the moves and giving them to several characters. Maybe that will be the Big Reveal of the Hyrule Warriors Direct - that the roster will be filled to the brim since they can take some movesets and give them to multiple characters!

It seems to be decently balanced between each entry and meanwhile wanting Makar, it doesn't look like there's any Wind Waker cast here unfortunately.

Look at all the recent female characters in Zelda games. TThn look at most of the female cast of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors.
Of course it was Tecmo-Koei.

Especially THIS one, Saria would've made sense with a Deku Stick with these kind of powers.
Sounds like she won't make it in. :/
Aww, so Wind Waker items are in the game (I think I saw the leaf) but I would have liked to see some Wind Waker characters. However, Wind Waker allows you to play as Medli and Makar (albeit in a limited fashion) and I'd pretty much have only wanted to play as those two so it's not really a loss since those characters were already playable in a Zelda game

The only strange thing is that SS and TP both have a villian from their entry but OoT does not. Perhaps Twinrova is a secret since thats the only one that could be on par with Zant and Ghirahim.It seems to be decently balanced between each entry and meanwhile wanting Makar, it doesn't look like there's any Wind Waker cast here unfortunately.

Terrible looking character. It looks like something I'd see from a generic slice-of-life anime.

Wait, why do we only have three characters left?
I know there was three character slots in the NicoNico stream, but that was only for Story Mode iirc, so Ganondorf and possible playable villains probably have a different character select screen.
Plus the E3 demo only had nine spaces, and this time we saw more spaces.
I still think though we'll see two more Skyward Sword characters, and one Twilight Princess. That way things will be even since Ocarina has three reps (Sheik, Darunia, Ruto) to it.

Utter insanity.
And yeah, could've worked beautifully as Saria. DLC Alt costume perhaps?
More, please.

Who fed Maokai?
Oh man... That's probably what they're doing. They know people will pay extra for Saria. She's totally going to be a DLC reskin of Lana!
Hey, whatever it takes. Name your price, Nintendo. $15? $50? $100?!
You know, I hope there's some special battles based on famous events in the series... like, I dunno, Zant's invasion of Hyrule Castle (that you see during that famous cutscene in TP), the battle just before Hylia takes humanity and send it to the skies, or Ganondorf's invasion of Hyrule.
And as far as DLC is concerned, I don't think they've confirmed anything other than the special costumes. I wouldn't mind a "new character + new battle" pack.

GAF is obsessed with Saria.
I'd love it if there were special stages like that. Maybe they could be unlocked through the challenge mode?
I don't want character DLC. The time spent on those characters could be used for a sequel.
If the game is good, I really hope it doesn't become a one game per system series like Mario Kart and Smash.

I hope Lana becomes more interesting, or at least is more interesting in the game than she is in the trailers. Because I'm starting to agree with other posters in that she seems like a standard anime character, and a little out of place in the Zelda universe. I didn't think that at first, but every time I see some new footage of her, she just seems to get more and more stereotypical.
I know this topic is about Lana, but dang, Link+Fists is the first time I think I have ever see Link so badass, and so focus on killing everything on the field.
My goodness, if that Link were canon, he would totally stab Ganondorf multiple times in the head with that badass attitude, and then telling Ganon to resurrect again so he can make him into his personal pig-horse in Ganon's next life.

That is probably the type of stage that is more likely to be a DLC bonus stage/mission rather than being part of the main game, if the orochi games are anything to go by.
I do hope something like that is in the base game though. I'd love to see, say, the imprisoning war, or the war with Hylia, The Hero, and Demise.
"You want to fight me? Uh, sure... just move over to this plinth with a picture of a medallion on it, would you? Yeah, that's right, all of you. And just group up. Tightly now! Right, now where were we..."

I love Saria and all, but I'm fine with Lana, I'm fine with the game getting an original character if it's as cute as her.
Nah, I'm pretty sure that in regular DW games, characters can use pretty much any weapon (though some are better suited to each character). HW is unique because each character got its own tailor-made weapons.
And I don't think all characters got a secondary weapon... well, so far, they haven't revealed any for Agitha, for example.

No to all of your questions. As far as we know, some characters will only have one weapon, iirc Link will have four. These kinds of things wary in the Warriors games. There's no set formula. Some games have no extra weapons while other games have random drops with like infinite weapons. You can most likely not level up the weapons in this game; that wouldn't really make any sense.
