Don't worry, the beauty of the Link's Awakening Shopkeeper will remove the sadness from your hearts once he's debuted and your owl/Marin dreams are crushed.

After checking the main game again - "Adventure Battle" are those battles that use a full stage area. Challenge battle are the ones that use only part of a stage, with various areas locked or inaccessible. Considering how they were highlighting those there... could it be that we're getting 3 new stages too with those "new adventure battle"? Coincidently, the Link's Awakening pack, and so it'd the hardest to use as inspiration for a new stage, would be the only one without a completely new stage if I'm right about this.

The 3DS version comes with a voucher for the Legends Character Pack. The new Legends of Hyrule Pack (season pass) is completely different.
Legends Character Pack ($12.99) - contains Linkle, Toon Link, Tetra, King Daphnes, Skull Kid, and Ganondorf's trident weapon
Legends of Hyrule Pack ($9.99) - contains Link's Awakening Pack, Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks Pack, and A Link Between Worlds Pack

Looking at the US DLC plans, why is the first pack not mentioned? I only saw the three with new characters.
EDIT: Mistaken.

I'm looking at the site now and all four are listed. http://zelda.com/hyrule-warriors-legends/#buynow/1

You are totally right. I must have accidentally been looking at the Wii U information.
Marin is probably the prediction that I'm most confident about. She's the second most prominent character in Link's Awakening (she's practically its version of Princess Zelda), and she'd embody the spirit of that game better than anyone else.
Fun fact: Marin is the only Zelda character with a trophy made from scratch in Melee. The rest are model rips.

The two that would make sense for LA imo is Richard or the Shop Keeper. I would love to see Marin though.

I think Linebeck is a given for PH but I would love Byrne to get in with any version of his theme

ALBW will be two of the 3 Lowrule cast most likely unless they go really random like Agatha again.

Any guess on Linkle's new weapon?
I was thinking the slingshot at first, but must be redundant. (and Lana got one in a special move. And Saria will eventually need it too).
Since this LA's pack, looking at LA items not in HW already:
Shovel, or something wilder, like a magnifying lens, or some seashells, if you can fight with that.

The most sensible option is probably the Thunder Drum or a different instrument. I'd bet on the Thunder Drum since it's linked to a specific element and because holding a drumstick in each hand fits the aesthetics of her dual-wielded crossbows.

What does it mean by my Fairy costumes?

It could be the seashell sword - or whatever is the name of the lvl 2 sword from Link's Awakening. She could mix it up with random items or comical mistakes during her moveset, to make it more unique, like mixing it up with Roc's father or the Pegasus Boots for some attacks.

Customizable fairies that give boosts and one extra attack in battle.

ooohh,those look kinda weird, but interesting they give you more abiities
I guess its good enough for me, I never finished all the adventure maps
Yeah, characters and weapons are the same between both versions.
Nice. I mainly like replaying favorite missions at this point, so new characters and weapons is all I want.
Including Medli, how many new characters will these new packs add? How big will the final roster be?
The Legends Character Pack adds 5 characters (Toon Link, Tetra, King Daphnes, Linkle, Skull Kid), the season pass adds another 4, and then there's Medli. So that's 10 additional characters compared to what Wii U users currently have.
There are 29 characters in all, plus a bunch of extra weapons that are technically unique characters in and of themselves.
- Link
- Zelda
- Sheik
- Impa
- Ganondorf
- Darunia
- Ruto
- Agitha
- Midna
- Fi
- Ghirahim
- Zant
- Lana
- Cia
- Volga
- Wizzro
- Twili Midna
- Young Link
- Tingle
- Toon Link
- Tetra
- King Daphnes
- Linkle
- Skull Kid
- Medli
- Link's Awakening character
- Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks character
- A Link Between Worlds character 1
- A Link Between Worlds character 2
I think that list is very likely, but there is a good chance that it could be Phantom Zelda in place of Linebeck. At the same time, there is also a chance that Phantom Zelda could technically be a Toon Link weapon, which would immediately free the spot up for Linebeck again.

90% Shopkeeper
9% Marin
1% Yoshi Doll
those are the LA character odds tbh

Oh man, Onox and Veran would've been awesomeI'm still salty we probably won't get these two.
And Vaati, while we're at it
And I still want Koume & Kotake
I've kinda fallen off the Zelda train, in this post-Souls world, but I still like the characters
That.. could work. The game he was from originally was an Intelligent Systems game right?
boiled goose
good with gravy
No maps for wiiu? Ugh pass.
Wtf. Bought all previous dlc but cant have the the complete version on wiiu.
Would have insta bought it.
I dont care about characters if I have nothing new to play.

STOP SUPPORTING THIS GAME
I really don't want to play it all over again, just make a sequel already!

If they add a Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru character I actually will buy this rerelease immediately.

They should add a 30th character for the 30th anniversary. And it should be Groose
If they were to do that, it would probably be someone from the upcoming Zelda game. In which case, keeping that character a surprise makes perfect sense.
You can even feed them and pet them.
There is even a clothe wardrobe you can store fairy clothes in it.

For Link's Awakening, I expect to see a "classic" version of Link, with moves based on his abilities in that game:
.png/revision/latest?cb=20091019205637)
Link's Awakening doesn't really have any other noteworthy characters that lend themselves well to Hyrule Warriors. Marin is the only other character that is remotely popular enough, and she has zero moveset potential at all. Putting in an established character and then giving them a moveset that isn't based on anything at all just seems pointless.

Kinda agree as we'll have to fight in the exact same stages with the exact same bosses again and again, they really needed to put new ones in the DLCs.

That's already a costume for Link. It basically looks exactly like that.

That's just a costume. They could go all-in and change the artstyle to a cartoonish or even some kind of pixellated version.
Or just reuse that same costume, but give it a unique moveset. I still think that's more likely than getting any other character from Link's Awakening.
This is Koei's Omega Force team, though. Even forgetting their own offbeat/unexpected picks for Zelda Musou like Agitha and the upcoming Medli, being able to surprise is the kind of thing they do in their own games, such as Dynasty Warriors.
If someone has enough imagination to make Marin "work", they'll do so. Or maybe they'll pick from anyone of the game's other off-beat characters and make them into a part of the roster, like the Shopkeeper, Crazy Tracy (also appeared in Captain Rainbow), Richard or friggin Mamu aka Wart.

They made a move set for a talking boat.
I'm sure they can find someone from LA to make a move set for.
Toon Link and Young Link stand on their own. Young Link is basically a playable Hero of Time, likely the most well known and popular Link. And Toon Link is basically his own character at this point. Both were also playable in Smash Bros.
Even Nintendo just treats "Classic" Link more or less like a different art style Toon Link, these days. Smash has been consistent with this since Toon Link started with his classic alt colors, but even Triforce Heroes turned Link Between Worlds Link into Toon Link. Four Swords Adventure as well has Toon Link filling in as Classic Link.

Hilda > Yuga. I'd much prefer Ravio and Hilda being added instead of Yuga.

Wow, I had no idea that the Wii U version was going to be getting a handful of new content! I'll definitely be buying up anything I can for it.
I do wish that there were new levels for the Wii U, though. Hopefully the new characters are varied enough to make up for it.

Yuga with a paint mechanic would be more interesting than Hilda with... whatever she would do.
It'd be nice to have another villain as well.
Ravio seems totally obvious as the second Between Worlds character. Hopefully him being a greedy little coward comes across in his moveset.
