Hyrule Warriors: new official website update (June 26) [Up: full-size screenshots]

what handsome men from the Zelda universe would you like to see?
That's the problem, there aren't a lot.

Ganondorf and Groose I could see, but I really can't think of anyone else. Ghirahim could sorta be okay, but a big part of his character is how creepy he is. (Which I wouldn't want them to change, if they include him.)

I really hope they just don't stick to TP and SS characters in this game. I mean I get they're some of the more popular NPCs in the series, but you gotta cover the entire franchise, man. I want to play as the King of Hyrule, Vaati, Skull Kid (or Happy Mask Salesman), Aganihm.

Ha, this is amazing


I made a quick doodle in Paint showing Cremia's UFO cattle-bombing attack

If you can smack dragons out of the sky with the moon, then you better damn well be able to shoot cows at enemies with flying saucers. Because Dynasty Warriors.

I wonder if and when the chicken raid will show up?
 
WAIT

What if King Zora is playable
I'd love see him walk or see him stand on his feet, but I'm afraid that still wouldn't cut it. To do it truly right, he'd need to have his buttocks firmly planted on the ground and move by slowly scooting all over the place.

I would feel bad for StreetsAhead

Nintendo does have paid DLC in some games on 3DS even though Pikmin 3 had nothing but free bonus stuff

this is very different I'm willing to pay $1 :)
Pikmin 3 had both, free and paid DLC.

Maturity, bitches.
I want Marin with the power of song and seagulls. Also because too many people are suggesting post OoT characters like the terrible people they are.

She's likely queen but they keep the name Princess Zelda because that's what she's always been known as. I mean Princess Peach is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom and yet still uses the title princess instead of queen.
 
Makes sense though. Didn't the Dark Interlopers come from the Sheikah tribe, then were banished to the Twili Realm?

this is not the complete mask but she also has the complete version in this game
not sure if they will explain anything about it tho

interesting that it has that symbol

but also the same eye design as Majora's Mask

Zelda world is strange anyway always borrowing symbols

you can find upside down triforce in Wind Waker but had no meaning until Link Between Worlds

the dev insisted she was Queen so it is strange maybe marketting is not paying attention

Ha ha, no. It's definitely a mistranslation. And it's actually quite common for princes and pricess to lead a Kingdom. What the producer/director meant is that she has the role of a brave queen, not of a poor princess waiting for her white knight to come save her. Whether she is actually queen or not (or even becomes one during the course of the game) actually has no real significacence: she's gonna kick lots of asses anyway :p
 
Love what I'm seeing so far, but I still hope we see Wind Waker/Skyward Sword/Majora's Mask/A Link Between Worlds/etc. themed levels and characters and it's not just the OG stuff plus a big focus on TP.

Wind Waker without toon shading will just make fans moan too much spare me all the complaining whiny posts

they Hated on Wind Waker HD because it did not match the original so imagine what Wind Waker like would look like in Hyrule Warriors


@L~A too bad they are coping out on giving her the Queen title :(

I like Lana already, her gameplay and design looks awesome.
Agitha looks good too! Those trailers/info does its job to hype me :)
Oh and Zelda costume for those complaining in the last thread about her design :p
Anyway, can't wait, the game will be glorious!

Regarding the general lack of husbandos in Zelda - did Horwell, Owlan, Osfala, Darmani, Japas, Kafei, Final Ghirahim, Pipit, Vaati, Keet, Mikau, Komali, Eagus, Ralph, Shad, Gondo, Ravio, Alfonzo, Pipit and Byrne stop existing when I wasn't looking?

Though I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to fanservice being focused on significantly more in future male character designs, so long as the characters were still visually varied.
 
A lot of Zelda Characters are not fighters or Link would not have had such a work load

seeing Agitha of all people fighting means anyone can be playable in this game the issue will be how much of an art change fans will be okay with

if people would shut up Wind Waker characters would just come in looking polished like midna and impa
 

YAWN

Ask me which Shakespeare novel is best
I think Rusl would be a good male rep for Twilight Princess -
And seeing as we're getting weird with Agitha, why not Batreaux?
He has those scythes in house that could be put to good use, as well as a demon form...
 

Speedwagon

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
This keeps looking better and better. Midna looks great.

If I were a betting man with rupees to spare:

SUPER-SAFE BETS:

- Ganondorf, virtually guaranteed
- Ganon, if not accounted for in 'dorf
- Zant, likely playable in dream mode
- Valga -- see above
- Wizro -- see above
- Cia -- see above

SAFE BETS:

- Ghirahim (SS was a big deal)
- Demise (SS was a big deal)
- Groose (SS was a big deal)
- Skull Kid (fan service ahoy!)
- True Midna (fan service ahoy!)
- Tingle (because Tingle)

DECENT BETS:

- Saria (loli fan service, could be "Safe Bet")
- Darunia / Dangoro (Gorons, represent)
- Ruto (fan-wank for Zora titties)
- Mikau (fishbone guitarrrrrr!!)
- Nabooru (Gerudo cheesecake, mmm)
- Ashei (warrior chick from TP)

FUN BETS:

- Twinrova / Koume & Kotake (fire and ice spells!)
- The Yetis, from Twilight Princess
- Adult Malon / Cremia (fan-wank a-go-go)
- Happy Mask Salesman (creepy!)

BIG ?-MARKS:

- Anyone from "Celda," I.E. Tetra, Makar, Medli... How would they de-toon-ify them?
- Vaati... Same reason as above

MAAAYBE:

- Aghanim... Yuga... Shadow Link... Maple... Crazy Tracey...
How do you possibly forget about Sheik.

Yes! I replayed Wind Waker after A Link Between Worlds and had a 'holy fuck' moment when I saw the upside down triforce on the door. If it was intended to be the Lorule triforce, then Nintendo is damn sneaky... and now I'm rambling and going off topic XD. Candy for all (throws candy)!


edit: also, my memory needs a refresh... wasn't Majora once a Dark Interloper too? Which would then make sense that the Fused Shadow is another one of their masks.
 
This is looking better and better the E3 Build i played was pretty repetitive but its basically dynasty warriors so don't set your bar too high.

Not digging that Agatha model the TP one was much better
 
ALL of the Resistance members from Twilight Princess better be playable!

They were such an interesting bunch, I wanted to see more of them.

I'm kinda sad Nintendo jumped on costume DLC bandwagon actually :\

Extra stages and levels I can take it, but costume DLC just struck me as horse-armorish.

Sorry if this has been asked in here already, but how many playable characters do Warriors games usually end up getting? Just wondering if there is potential for more characters in this game.

I always loved Malon, so would love to have her in.
