Hyrule Warriors: new info from Famitsu [Up: Famitsu preview]

creepy green goo from Agitha's attack

need bug vision to zoom in to see it

We'll receive something amazing in his place.

this is what I'm getting at I don't think this is Team Ninja's style unless you can make it cute
that is Pink but not cute
 
I desperately hope Agitha can summon one of the Gohmas to fight for her. I like the idea of leaning in to her incredibly creepy, probably sadistic side.

So the girl on the cover is NOT Cia? Thank god, hope for a good Cia with white hair survives. Looks so much better.
 
I think that Lana being Nayru is spot on

Lanayru is the region/spirit in TP and SS, and is based on the goddess Nayru from older games.

Lanayru

She's Nayru, or at least is supposed to be heavily based on her.

Can't wait to see Din and Farore's designs for Hyrule Warriors. It would be cool if they revealed at least one male character not named Link for the game also.

I thought the visual comparisons in the last page were forced, but the way she seems to focus on barriers ("Nayru's love" barrier spell in OoT), alongside the blue theme and that name connection does make it seem like she could be meant to represent Nayru.

They'll probably do this for all three goddesses. I bet they're oracles, sages, etc, who commune with the goddesses. So Lana for Lanayru, Eldi for Eldin, and Faro for Faron. Easy way for them to invent three waifus without seeming completely arbitrary.

Instead of just being themed after the goddesses, giving them abilities to summon their associated Dragon or Light Spirit might give a nice bit of spectacle while tying them in closer to the established lore. Plus, even though she was a massive bitch, I kind of want to see Faron again.

...Also, does this mean we'll get a buttrock remix of Nayru's theme from OoA?
 
Current roster makes this game TP warriors instead of Hyrule warriors, hope they'll begin revealing non-TP characters next week. Also Link is the only non-villain male character, Cia the only female villain. lol

Mind blown! >_<

How brilliant, to base an original character off of such an incredibly well known one. Obviously making the 3 goddesses playable would be a bit OP, so it makes sense to have a character embody them in a perhaps weaker form.

Meh not a fan of this addition. Either one really. Agitha is too minor of a character for me to care apart, and Cia is an ORIGINAL CHARACTER out of nowhere for no reason. I want to play as Tetra dammit.

Ok, for those interested, the Famitsu scans are now floating around on the internet so...

This thread will be updated as soon as the Famitsu article goes live.
 
From the scans;
-Lana has some sort of connection with Cia.
-Lana rescues Agitha from attack.
-As thanks, Agitha gives her a butterfly to guide the way, and joins her in the fight against Cia.
-The butterfly is stolen by Midna (it seems she will initially, or at least in part, appear as an enemy character)
-Two of the costumes from the Premium/Treasure Box have been revealed. One is Link from TP, the other is Zelda from TP. Remember, these will be sold as DLC later. You can see illustrations of them in the bottom right corner of one of the scans.

Midna kinda started as a villian towards Link early in TP
It is her style when she is Imp version to be a little devil

good stuff thanks
 
GameExplain have put up a slideshow vid with all the pics :D

Seeing Lana run on a giant cube like that and her 3 shield wall move looks supremely badass. This isn't just the first game where I have a choice of characters I'm super hyped about, it's going even further by having more than just 2 XD
I'm rather enjoying this roster and can't wait to see who else they reveal :D

It's also kinda novel to see people in the vid's comments asking for 'more male characters' for a change. It's usually the other way around :p

Nintendo just give us the T Box damn it.

you're sticking TP stuff in there so you might as well give it to the market where TP performed the best.
