According to the latest Famitsu, Ganondorf has a new lightning-based trident moveset, and it's transferable to the Wii U version of the game. Awesome.

 

[foxuzamaki]

It's about time, seriously I was befuddled how they never gave him a trident weapon to begin with

 

[Platy]

Now they need to explain how people without a 3DS will get this on the WiiU

 

[georly]

Wish they would have given it to a pig ganon, but that's fine, this game has no ALttP references.

Glad he's getting something new, though. Spears/lances/tridents are some of my favorite weapons.

Can he summon fire bats with it?

Now they need to explain how people without a 3DS will get this on the WiiU

Would suck if there was no way.

I just wanna know if I can transfer saves :/ Otherwise this is a 40 dollar DLC package for my Wii U, assuming all the content is playable on Wii U. Really don't wanna replay the first 100 hours or so.

 

[Ryce]

Can he summon fire bats with it?

The screens only show him summoning lightning bolts with it.

 

[Lulubop]

Yass

 

[KingBroly]

Good. About time they gave more characters different weapons.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Because that's pig Ganon's weapon, Ganondorf never used a trident.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I should get this game.

What if they base future Smash Bros. versions of Ganondorf on this trident-wielding one? :0

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Nice!

So, so far, we know that Legends comes with five new characters and one new weapon, right? Honestly, that's more than I was expecting, but I'm hoping that there's even more. How many new levels are confirmed? Two? Three?

 

[TI82]

It looked weird in the screens since trident was piggies weapon buy oh well still more fun game to play

 

[twelver]

Are they going to make it easier to unlock things in this game? The adventure maps were a pain in the ass. Easier A rank requirements please.

 

[papertoonz]

this game has no ALttP references.

well the fire rod did come from ALttP so that could be viewed as a reference

 

[georly]

I wanted that for THIS smash, but didn't get it. Just Captain Falcondorf AGAIN. I'd settle with pig ganon as a new playable zelda rep, but that form hasn't really been in any recent games

Spoiler

(ALBW was a half measure)

, and certainly not mainline console games, which is what smash zelda games draw from.

well the fire rod did come from ALttP so that could be viewed as a reference

Zelda 1 had a fire rod.

They will do it... as his taunt.

 

[mp1990]

They probably won't ? Well, not without paying, that's for sure.

 

[studyguy]

Only like two musou expacs away from KT giving everyone random weapons that don't make sense anymore with the inevitable cross promotion on other KT musou franchises. Just gotta let Nintendo agree to ride the musou gravy train.

 

[Dreavus]

Are they going to make it easier to unlock things in this game? The adventure maps were a pain in the ass. Easier A rank requirements please.

I actually enjoyed coming up with a strategy for some of the tougher levels, though a few could be toned down.

I had more of a problem with not having enough Adventure map items to go where I wanted to go starting in the Master quest map. Redoing levels I've A ranked already, in a game with HUNDREDS of missions, just became a huge chore.

If this legends stuff comes to the Wii U version I'll probably come back to try them out for a bit though!

 

[Platy]

They probably won't ? Well, not without paying, that's for sure.

I would not complay if they say this is included in that "season pass" from before ... but yea, I doubt it will be free.

But how much ? when ?

 

[Fandangox]

I take solace in that this will probably end up selling primarily to people who don't have the Wii U version (or the console) so unused code for sales to get this stuff in the Wii U version should be easy to find.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Relax.

We don't even know how much new content there is yet. It'll probably be released on the eShop. And no, of course it won't be included in the previous season pass.

Phew

Got me sweating

Yeah. I'm holding off on buying either version until details about all the content are out there. Hoping to buy the Wii U version and get all the 3DS content off ebay, but who knows if that's even how it will work.

 

[YoYo Switch]

what i wanna know if the other dlc will transfer if i didn't buy any of the other dlc's released on wii u, not just the new stuff in this game

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Yeah. I'm holding off on buying either version until details about all the content are out there. Hoping to buy the Wii U version and get all the 3DS content off ebay, but who knows if that's even how it will work.

They'll probably put all the new content in one package on the eShop for the Wii U version. They might wait to do it a little while after the release of Legends for 3DS though, just to make people more inclined to buy the 3DS version. I don't think there'll be a need to scavenge for codes on eBay.

 

[mp1990]

But how much ? when ?

Well, all we can do at this point is guess, but i would bet on a DLC pack release, with all extra content from the 3DS game, after a month of HWL debut. Maybe a $9.99 price tag would be fitting ? I'm just assuming things here lol.

 

[Kouriozan]

Sounds good, I also hope it's easier to unlock stuff in the 3DS version, even more after spending 300 hours on Wii U and I'm still not done :lol

 

[Aostia]

Very good!!!

 

[Zero-ELEC]

So, apparently the new story content is exclusive to Legends and cannot be transferred to the Wii U version. :|

EDIT: That's two "episodes" worth, btw; being Linkle's story and the Wind Waker content.

If that's true then I am getting Legend.

Their all still technically the same person tho, it's not like Ganondorf didn't know how to use a trident and ganon does

 

[Piers]

All Hyrule Warriors Legends topics: Cool, but Wii U? ?

(Which I'm in the same boat as.)

 

[wild wild rice]

Source?

Seconded.

Has anyone played the 3DS version at a show or anything? Are they managing the same amount of enemies on screen?

Linkle's cutscenes from the Nintendo Direct seemed Wii U-ish.

Nevertheless, that really sucks if true.

 

[Piers]

Seconded.

Nope. In 3DS screens you can see enemies put into small clusters on the map.

Nintendo Everything, no scans, just details:

It’s also important to clarify what’s exclusive in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Once again, all characters will be available in the 3DS game as well as the original Wii U title. But the Wind Waker and Linkle stories will be exclusive to Hyrule Warriors Legends.

Which if true is extremely disappointing. As for the cutscenes looking like the Wii U version, I think they might be prerendered cutscenes for Legends and they're just showing them at full resolution.

Thanks. Legends it is, I guess.

 

[Dr. Buni]

That's really cool. I might look past that terrible character (Lana) and I actually buy the Legends/3DS version of the game.

So the those characters are once again relegated to empty levelling shells.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

From the Scans, it seems Twili!Midna and Skull Kid are involved in Linkle's story, so there's that.

 

[Berordn]

Didn't we have Wii U shots of Tetra's story mode? I feel like we're not getting the whole truth here.

Hmm, that's interesting. Old Famitsu scans (which I can't post because, y'know, scans) showed cutscenes from the Wind Waker episode marked with the Wii U border.

Of course this could have easily been a mistake from Famitsu, where they got the high-res screens and thought that they were from the Wii U version. (Interestingly, the high-res cutscenes/screens in the new scans don't have a border, because they're not from the 3DS version, and might just be the full cutscene rendered out before compression) And it makes sense since the new stages and enemies haven't been shown at all in Wii U screens, and the Wind Waker stages (may) require the new character switching mechanic, which is probably going to stay exclusive to the 3DS.

So, maybe there's no Wii U version. Or maybe they're lying to try and get people to buy the 3DS version. Idunno.

You know, OmegaForce should totally co-develop the next Smash game.

 

[jmizzal]

I'm happy for the characters and weapons transferring to WiiU

But I really want to story and being able to change characters on the fly on WiiU too

 

[thatdenalidude]

Phantom Ganon did.

 

[El Odio]

Now they need to explain how people without a 3DS will get this on the WiiU

Its starting to annoy me how this hasn't been clarified yet.

 

[NZerker12]

Hopefully Ganondorf will get the Warlock Blade as well, I mean Link has what 7/8 weapons? While Zelda has 3, considering Ganondorf is apart of the trio he should at least get a few more.
