Zant?

Now all this game needs is Groose and Vaati.

 

[BY2K]

Holy shit Zant YES!

 

[georly]

Could you imagine? lol

 

[Neiteio]

Agitha? AGITHA???

She was my favorite NPC in Twilight Princess, with a house that gave me wacky Clock Town vibes, and a fun side-quest collecting bugs.

But making her playable is total waifu fan service. She's a delusional Gothic Lolita, not a killer!

But hey, not complaining, this is awesome.

 

[Gartooth]

I just want a Goron, Zora, and Deku character that play kind of like Majora's Mask (Might could skip the Deku, actually). Rolling through the battlefield as a Goron or using the double boomerangs of the Zora would be pretty awesome.

Agitha could be cool though, bug related movesets are usually interesting.

Majora's Mask version of Link would be the shit. Probably the most unique (fighting wise) version of the character in the entire series thanks to the masks.

 

[Neiteio]

Note about Zant -- Famitsu lists him as "aside from playable characters." Hopefully he'll still turn out playable, his design makes perfect sense for fighting.

 

[NeonZ]

Are villains typically playable in Musou games? Almost all the playable Zelda characters I'd like to see are villains. (Beast Ganon, Skull Kid / Majora, Zant, Ghirahim)

Usually there are very few npcs that are unique but not playable. Samurai Warriors 3 had two unique NPCs (6 counting the Murasama Castle bosses though, but they all could be unlocked as skins). Dynasty Warriors 7 and 8 only have one unique NPC.

I guess what might happen here though is that only the heroic characters will actually be fully playable in the main story and the others will be just for the "free mode" (battles based on the story battles, but allowing any character choice and without cutscenes) or its equivalent here.

hitting all sides of fanservice, I wonder if they're gonna give her a unique costume design or if she just be like midna

 

[Kinyou]

So outside of link , every playable characters are going to be female?

Who said that link is male?

*trollface.jpg*

 

[Forkball]

Still not sold on this game.

But omg agitha

 

[Kouichi]

Who said that link is male?

*trollface.jpg*

I can't wait to see female Ganondorf.

 

[Tenki]

Agitha? LOL I want to see the full roster.

 

[Neiteio]

They'll probably give Agitha clothes-ripping battle damage and attack animations where she sucks suggestively on a lollipop while looking oh so vulnerable (before unleashing swarms of flesh-eating locusts from under her skirt)

 

[RiggyRob]

Zant not playable?

Aside from playable characters, Famitsu also confirms that Argorok – who we’ve seen previously – and Zant from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be appearing in Hyrule Warriors

Sounds like a non-playable boss from that quote, although it might just be the wording of it.

 

[Neiteio]

Zant not playable?



Sounds like a non-playable boss from that quote.

Yeah, but as per Warriors tradition, all humanoid-shaped bosses should be fully playable outside of the campaign in the game's dream mode. So Zant, Valga, etc, will probably all be playable in that way.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah, that almost confirm there won't be 9 characters max, as some people suggested after seing the E3 demo.

 

[Village]

The number one character in the franchise?

Pffft.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[L~A]

Yup. And note that this is from NE, not a direct quote from the magazine. Pretty sure all villains will be playable.

It now shoots bees.

Yes, they are.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah, that almost confirm there won't be 9 characters max, as some people suggested after seing the E3 demo.

The nine characters max never took into account the possibility of multiple pages or a demo build interface. Aonuma said he was really surprised by the sheer number of playable characters, and this is a series where some installments have 100+ characters. I know they can also feature around a dozen characters, but this being Zelda, I think they'll go all-out and basically reskin existing Warriors characters in the appearance of Zelda NPCs.

Speaking of which, if Agitha is in the game, I'm confident they'll add Saria, for reasons good and bad (but I'm in it for the good reasons, namely she's the coolest OoT Sage).

Oh yeah, Saria would be amazing!
Remember, more than half the roster will be female

 

[Insaniac]

I want the Hero's shade playable!!

 

[-Setsuna-]

I couldn't care less about Agitha. Just give me Tingle, Skull Kid and Darunia already! >_<

 

[Savitar]

I so liked Zant in TP.

The fact he got made into a joke was beyond disappointing.

 

[Currygan]

playable Zant?

If Agitha's in, fuck it - make ALL the Zelda females playable.

Malon, Telma, Ruto, Saria, Nabooru, Twinrova, Aryll, Tetra, Medli, hell even Link's grandmother!

 

[Jim Sterling]

I named Agitha as an example of just the sort of playable character Hyrule Warriors could have, back when people were saying "How could you have anyone but Link?" If she is playable, I will hail myself as some sort of genius prophet.

Also, if Zant is playable, I'll be beyond happy. One of my fave Zelda characters ever.

 

[Nemesis_]

Playable Anju's Grandma please

 

[-Horizon-]

playable Zant?

I can't take my eyes off of this gif :0

 

[TreIII]

Not necessarily.

Not to be "that guy", but there has been a history of Musou games having a couple of NPCs in the first game, who then usually become playable in the sequel/expansions.

The One Piece games, for example, did this very thing, so I'm keeping my expectations tempered.

That isn't standard operating procedure for you?


I wanted adult Minda, that might be dead though. Hmm, well I guess it would be neat if they had different outfits. I wanna play zelda in that cloak. Like she is some medieval member of organization 13

 

[SweetDonuts]

Agitha would be a waste of a playable character imo.

playable Zant?

This is glorious.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Now we just need Ganondorf, Tingle and Groose and I'll be a happy man.

 

[Currygan]

full video for those interested in that breakdance gif


I just need to see Ganondorf in action and game'll be a day one

 

[Nemesis_]

Did Nintendo Everything obtain scans? Or are they relaying second hand information?

 

[Neiteio]

Anju and Kafei tag-team duo.

Their special is hugging passionately as the moon kills everyone.

 

[jmizzal]

haha this cast is gonna be great, cant wait

 

[Neiteio]

Imagine Zant snapping 10,000,000 necks

 

[Kyzon]

Agitha

so that's why Aonuma was surprised. I'm guessing the roster will scroll like Warriors Orochi and we'll have tons of characters.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'd be pretty pleased if Zant was playable in his bat shit crazy form.

Agatha is exactly the out-there, crazy character I want to see more of in this game. Hoping for playable Dampe, Deku Butler, and Ricky.

I didn't know I wanted this until now, I was thinking more towards playing as the king scrub and boiling enemies in a giant pot for a musou attack but gliding across the battlefield as the suave butler might top that.

 

[Neiteio]

Oh man

Koume & Kotake with Twinrova transformation

Smash Bros. failed to deliver but Hyrule Warriors can redeem this idea

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

lol Agitha. I guess Skull Kid, Zant, and Groose are not as crazy as I thought, then.

 

[Nemesis_]

can they just add Bayonetta and the Wonderful 101 while we're at it then.

but fuck Twinrova would be amazing.

 

[meppi]

Might as well throw in Happy Mask Salesman in there too.

That's actually a great pick. He can have a ton of different moves all connected to the various masks.

Now we need Cremia in there with tons of milk attacks. Or better yet, the Gorman Brothers. It'll be Cho Aniki all over again.

Scarecrow might be another pick.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Oh man

Koume & Kotake with Twinrova transformation

Smash Bros. failed to deliver but Hyrule Warriors can redeem this idea

I'm pretty confident they'll be in there, although I don't know if they'd be playable or just a supporting character for Ganondorf.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Agitha super leaked

 

[Smiles and Cries]

now we know what the next character video is

 

[Reknoc]

Pirate Warriors 1 was full of unplayable bosses btw and this game reminds me most of the pirate warriors games going by footage.

 

[Neiteio]

Might as well throw in Happy Mask Salesman in there too.

HMS would be great. He could be utterly devoid of animation. He could quantum-shift into each attack pose!

How about the Carpenters from OoT? They could build the shit out of opponents, and tag-team in one at a time, WWE-style.
