Can't have it both ways, deal with the perfectly fine walking speed or keep selecting the boots. Decisions decisions.

That's why I said I don't think it holds up haha
I going to guess that Marin is going to use an harp and her moveset will be similar to Cai Wenji from Dinasty Warriors.

I know, I just find it funny that you think Pokemon Red holds up with its snail pace 4 direction walking.
ehhh not really in the mood to have this discussion again. I'm just going to say I disagree.
The hell? Link's Awakening is the masterpiece, LttP is utterly soulless by comparison.

So, just to be clear, I can download the DLC characters for the Wii U version, right?
Granted, I was considering caving on Legends anyway, but...
Huh, I remember that being one of Melee's best-looking trophies. Oh, how time ravages 3D so!

It'll be interesting to compare her new Model to....that old SSBM render.

I think Red is charming because it's so far in the opposite direction from what modern Pokemon games are like if that makes sense. It's like a little historical artifact.
Maybe I don't like 2D Zelda.

The funny thing is, it's still way faster to get through than modern pokemon games because you don't have 20 minute trite discussions with your boring friends, and 50 different battle conditions to sit through like "the sun is shining harshly!"
They better not :| Cai ain't fun to play :V

Awesome to see Marin back like that.

Poor Linkle

Link's Awakening is just as charming and a joy to play back then as it is now. Though my one knock against it was how cryptic some of the puzzle solutions were. Or finding keys/entrances to certain dungeons.
It was a simpler game with simpler graphics and attack animations. Newer games have more depth. Even with animations turned off, battles feel longer. Presentation with polygonal models tend to emote more than tiny sprites.

that's awesome
Both are kind of scarce story-wise, LA's atmosphere is surely more charming, and it's the more quirky game of the two, but ALTTP's gameplay and dungeons are top-notch, the overworld is miles ahead and it's generally the blueprint for everything that's in the GB Zelda.
Playing ALTTP was bliss even in this day and age, LA mostly bored me, confused me at times and some of the design decisions puzzled me.
Just my honest opinion having played both games for the first time after 20 or so years since the day they originally came out. No nostalgia goggles here.

Link's Awakening is so friggin' good.
The self-aware comedy was Paper Mario-esque before Paper Mario.

that's weird. the dungeons are great in LA as well, but what LA does a lot better is the overworld.
in ALTTP you don't do much in it, it's alsmost a dungeon crawler. LA has a lot more and much better overworld content, while still having 9 great dungeons. which is also the main reason why I like it a lot more.

I wanna say I'm excited but I'm not 3 "yaaaAAASSSSsss" gifs excited. I forgot why Marin is important again. All I can recall was that she was a pretty cool char in LA

That would get me to try out this game if I still had a Wii U

Nice to see her design modernized.
Actually, come to think of it, she's the first character in HW whose never appeared in 3D (besides Melee, I guess). She's also the oldest character on the roster (besides Zelda, Link and Impa, obviously)

That's great, maybe it will help my impression that Marin is just kinda Malon but in 2D sprite form(never played LA but seen alot about it)

Looks like a typical anime waifu. Will not hype until further information becomes available.

The idea of Captain Rainbow was that all the characters in it were misfits who were forever ignored. Which continued to be true when everyone ignored Captain Rainbow!

Yay, let's shoehorn fan service in that doesn't make sense.
So you're saying she's the girl of Link's dreams?

LA's overworld basically is a dungeon itself. It's very cramped and filled with obstacles - even compared to aLttP. I don't think everyone enjoys that style.
She won't be a character in the main storyline. There's no story DLC this time. She comes alongside a new Adventure map in the 3ds game, a mode where the player explores 8-bit maps based on various Zelda games, using items to open the way, with one Hyrule Warriors battle scenario in each "square" of the map. The battles can have stuff like "Defeat the Ocarina of Time characters!" and such - there's no real storyline tying it all together, aside from "find and beat the Dark King Ganon!" which triggers the ending sequence. The player can obtain new characters, weapons and costumes through those maps, giving a sense of progression in spite of the lack of story.
Hyrule Warriors is basically a fanservice game.
Very little about this game makes sense. Don't overthink it.

Just because the its drawn slightly more anime than the usual zelda, doesnt mean its otaku-bait

What doesn't make sense about a well known Zelda character appearing in a Zelda spin off with a varied cast of well known characters through the series' history?

Best Zelda from the best Zelda game. Too bad I don't own Hyrule Warriors.
They made Agitha work, so I'm down. Not gonna lie, kung-fu shopkeep would've been fine too.
I doubt it's possible at this point, but it would've been wonderful if the animal trio from the Oracle games made it in. A boxer in a Musou game of all things would've been hilarious if nothing else. Of course, Din and Nyaru would most likely be considered first.
