Support NeoGAF

[dickgumshoe]

Com on Linebeck

Tingle's not female.

Still a waifu..

 

[Nocturnowl]

I've finally figured out what character this game is missing, playable Kaepora Gaebora.
Musou attack is the "would you like to hear what I said again?" text box falling from the sky and crushing all that's below it multiple times since everyone always says "yes" when they're mashing away, a Warriors staple in some respects.

 

[Enforced]

What? Agitha!? Haha. I can't wait to see the screenshot and the gameplay of Agitha.

 

[georly]

What? Agitha!? Haha. I can't wait to see the screenshot and the gameplay of Agitha.

Seems no scans yet :/

 

[ProtomanNeo]

If they're just going to throw random people in this. Then Tingle is missing.

 

[Nia]

Do you guys think we can get Byrne?

I really hope so. He's my favorite character in Spirit Tracks.

 

[ShinMaruku]

We all know who's next

Spoiler

the fish

Spoiler

The hero we need and deserve.

 

[Bermuda_IX]

Come on Vaati needs some lovin

 

[Enforced]

Seems no scans yet :/

I'm going to use my imagination then.

 

[Longsword]

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)

Dynasty Warriors tend to offer heroes, villains and side characters as playable characters. Let's see if Hyrule Warriors follows the suit.

 

[Shun]

Please bring back Vaati.

 

[BGBW]

Marin from Link's Awakening needs to appear with singing and seagull transforming powers!

 

[Kater]

I hope the next announcement is for a playable Tingle or Ganon. Or both.

 

[Chindogg]

Now let's add some Wind Waker characters...

 

[Zomba13]

No Vaati, no sale.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I really want a Dynasty Warrior Characters in this too..Preferably.. Lu Bu?

 

[KolosLazar16]

Wait so does this game have local coop?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I really want a Dynasty Warrior Characters in this too..Preferably.. Lu Bu?

One of the Treehouse dudes sort of "asked" that to one of the producers, phrasing it as "who's stronger...Ganon or Lu Bu?", and the answer made it seem like that won't be happening unfortunately.

 

[BassForever]

Wait so does this game have local coop?

Yes that was confirmed one player on game pad one player on tv screen

 

[Geminosity]

I'm going to randomly call another Hyrule Warrior it'd be fun to see: Medli!

The idea of being able to do bombing runs from the air is too cool to pass up
Also, in co-op being able to carry your friend for a little bit while flying would be fun

 

[sixteen-bit]

probably too minor of a character but it would be hilarious if they put Meowmeow in there and she fights with a Chain Chomp

 

[KolosLazar16]

Yes that was confirmed one player on game pad one player on tv screen

Good god.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Good god.

optional motion controls like in Zangeki no Reginleiv would push this into system seller territory for me

 

[Shun]

Playable Tott please.

 

[The_Intruder]

Please be here:

Kabooom! Sploosh! sploosh!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Agitha? hahahah!
I remember being upset that this wasn't a Fire Emblem Musou when it was first revealed but with every piece of media and information that we get, I'm glad this is a Zelda game.

Spoiler

still want that Fire Emblem Musou tho...

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Agitha is unexpected. This is so weird that can be awesome.

 

[Reknoc]

tingle isn't an out there character but... i'd want them to somehow factor in the slaves he has Wind Waker.

 

[TreIII]

One of the Treehouse dudes sort of "asked" that to one of the producers, phrasing it as "who's stronger...Ganon or Lu Bu?", and the answer made it seem like that won't be happening unfortunately.

I honestly have no problem with it. Lu Bu or any of the other DW characters didn't make it into any of the other franchise Musou games, so Zelda Musou should be no different.

At best, we may be able to get costume DLC. More than likely, they'll find some way to get Zelda or one of the other ladies into Wang Yuanji's dress...just like they did in OPPW2!

 

[Dr. Buni]

How about a Pokémon Musou

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I'm still waiting to hear that Tingle and Zant are playable! Make it happen!

 

[Kriken]

Nice to hear Zant, really felt like he was wasted potential, would be nice to see him playable

 

[Anteo]

How about a Pokémon Musou

Nintendo said no, that's why we got Pokemon Conquest instead

 

[Dr. Buni]

Nintendo said no, that's why we got Pokemon Conquest instead

They did? ;_;

Oh well, Conquest was the best Pokémon spin-off anyway.

 

[mindsale]

Would love to have Vaati, Groose, Skeletal Stalfos Link, Tingle, Ravio, Aghanim, Ganon/dorf, Ghirahim, Linebeck, Tetra, Young Link, Skull Kid, the rest of the Ocarina sages... All playable and stylized Twilight Princess style.

 

[SkyOdin]

I was actually considering the possibility that they would give Link the Bug-catching net as one of his weapons (considering he probably has more than two and I was drawing a blank on anything else), but it appears they decided to give that fighting style to someone other than Link instead. I guess if you want to use bugs in a combat style, Agitha is as good of a choice as any.

But this certainly means that anything and everything Zelda is now on the table as a playable character.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Do you guys think we can get Byrne?

I'm expecting zero handheld Zelda references for this to be honest. Outside ALBW and LA, the handheld games aren't as well liked as the console installments.

 

[Geminosity]

While she perhaps isn't the top of most people's minds I'm kinda surprised at people's "If Agitha can get in, anyone can" exclamations

Agitha apparently had a fairly decent fan following in Japan to the point where she even made it as a trophy in Smash Bros Brawl :3

 

[mindsale]

I'm expecting zero handheld Zelda references for this to be honest. Outside ALBW and LA, the handheld games aren't as well liked as the console installments.

And Agitha's the people's champion? I'd hope some handheld entrants would have priority to a ten-year old shopkeep. /shrug

 

[McNum]

Well this is one of those things I didn't knew I wanted until it was suggested. Much like this entire game, really. Agitha. I can totally see her being an insect summoner, which in a sea of enemies might just be one of the most horrible things ever.

I wonder who else is in... This does pretty much open the door to nearly anyone.

 

[twothunder]

Give me the oracles next!

I support this.
Always liked the oracle games (and the oracles themselves)
Might even add Ralph and Maple

 

[Kouriozan]

In Warriors Orochi (3), literally everyone is playable (minus the huge Hydra of course), even the monster captains Gyüki and Dodomeki, the final boss and true fnal boss, so I would be shocked if Ganondorf/Cia/etc won't be playable.

 

[m_shortpants]

 

[emb]

As long as we're thinking of ridiculous and seemingly random characters for this game, I might as well. I kinda felt like being reminded of some old Zelda games anyway. So here's an attempt at a most over the top scenario roster [possible SPOILERS in list]:

-LoZ-
Link, Zelda, Ganon, Old Man (the hint guy), Darknut, Wizzrobe, Stalfos

-LoZ 2-
Dark Link, Horsehead, Error

-LttP-
Agahnim, Sahasrala, Link's Uncle, Blind the Thief

-LA-
The Shop Keeper,Marin

-OoT-
Sheik, Impa, Ganondorf, Rauru, Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Nabooru, Malon, Mido, Running Man, Dampe, Phantom Ganon, Twinrova, Iron Knuckle

-MM-
Fierce Diety Link!, Goron Link, Deku Link, Zora Link, Skull Kid, Odolwa, Mask Salesman, Tingle, King of Ikana, Zubora and Gabora

-Oracles-
Farore, Din, Nayru, Onox, Veran, Ralph, Ricky, Dimitri, Moosh, Maple, Subrosian, Pippin

-WW-
Tetra, King of Hyrule, Niko, WW Ganondorf, Medli, Makar

-Minish Cap-
Vaati (in Wizard form), Swiftblade

-TP-
Zant, Midna, Agitha apparently, Ashei, Rusl, Darbus or Dangoro, Purlo, Colin, Hero's Shade

-Phantom Hourglass-
Linebeck, Jolene

-Spirit Tracks-
Byrne, Cole, Phantom possessed by Zelda?

-SS-
Ghirahim, Groose, Fi, Demise, Koloktos, Scervo, Batreaux

-LBW-
Ravio, Hilda, Yuga, Gramps


That's just everyone I can possibly imagine... but honestly, my memory of several of the games is pretty fuzzy at this point. My (slightly) more grounded hopes for a roster:

Link, Zelda, Ganon, Dark Link, Agahnim, Sheik, Impa, Ganondorf, Rauru (with Kaepora transformation <.<), Saria, Darunia, Nabooru, Phantom Ganon, Twinrova, Fierce Diety Link, Goron Link, Deku Link, Zora Link (Those four maybe as one character that can transform?), Skull Kid, Mask Salesman, Tingle, Onox, Veran, Ralph, Tetra, King of Hyrule, Medli, Makar, Vaati, Zant, Midna, Agitha, Ashei, Hero's Shade, Linebeck, Byrne, Ghirahim, Groose, Fi, Demise, Ravio, Yuga

Ok, that's still too optimistic though. Prediction for final roster:

Link, Zelda, Ganon, Dark Link, Agahnim, Sheik, Impa, Ganondorf, Fierce Diety Link, Skull Kid, Tetra, Zant, Midna, Agitha, Hero's Shade, Ghirahim, Groose

The idea of Link with different items is cool though. I'm tired of listing stuff, but I'm guessing there are plenty that could create cool movesets.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

What's with all the Twilight Princess characters!? Give us Groose!

If aghita is in, its very possible for Groose, to enter. OMG I didnt know they were going to get this crazy, Aghita? WTF, this is awesome.

 

[Lightning4Ever]

Has there been any word on if this will have online multi yet?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

playable Zant?

lol, looks like the

Spoiler

ending

of Saint Rows IV

 

[Reknoc]

In Warriors Orochi (3), literally everyone is playable (minus the huge Hydra of course), even the monster captains Gyüki and Dodomeki, the final boss and true fnal boss, so I would be shocked if Ganondorf/Cia/etc won't be playable.

3 is the important part though, most musou games start with few and eventually end up with many and Orochi's thing is to have a bunch of characters. Again, Pirate Warriors 1 had a tiny roster and was full of unplayable bosses, Kens Rage as well I believer though that might just have been a small roster.

That might not be the case here but it'd still be wise to temper expectations.

Kabooom! Sploosh! sploosh!

This would be kind of awesome.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I posted THIS on the smash miiverse 7 months ago:

Oh god though... I was happy when they put Midna in as playable but now Agitha? I... actually have a choice of characters I want to play in a game. This has never happened to me before! What do I do? @.@
