No. They have different movesets but they're the same character in the story.
I've clocked 400+ hours in this game and only fully completed one Adventure map. I have yet to get any character near 255 too. They're all fairly high level though. I'm always looking for a reason to play it again, which is why I want confirmation of The Wind Waker characters being sold as DLC. No way am I going to buy the same game again, especially a lesser version.

This isn't even the first Smash reference in HW either. Ganondorf Warlock Punches an orb as one of his combos.
Plus stuff like Fox and Falco's reflectors being seen in their new character art.
Same, I spent a lot of time in this game, and still play it every now and then, but there's no way I'd buy it again and start all over. I'd just get the WW stuff separately.

Yeah I'm in a similar boat (no pun intended). Wind Waker content is super hype, but I have no interest in buying the 3DS version so I'm hoping pretty hard that they release the new content as DLC separately. Especially since there being a Wind Waker facet to the story pretty much guarantees a pair of Wind Waker-themed maps, and one of the weaknesses of Hyrule Warriors was that it desperately needed a few new maps.
I have 6 black squares in adventure mode still
and have not touched the other maps...
yet I have clocked nearly 100 hours.. plz
150+ hours, legend mode complete 100%, first adventure map complete 100% (only non gold map is the infamous agitha one) and half of the second map already done with bits and pieces of the other ones.
....90% done in coop =x
I see. It will be like the Smash 3DS demo then. If there is no other option I will use that method.

E3? That artwork has been out before the Wii U version I believe.

The art featuring Legends' cast at the end of its E3 trailer, including Tetra and the King, has a bit behind one of the characters where you can see what looks like a crossbow. Hence the speculation that crossbow-toting fem!Link will become playable.

There was a shot in the E3 trailer with the render of many characters, and then a lone shot of a crossbow identical to the one from her artwork in the background.

Sweet!
What about the rumored adult female Link?
I'm pretty sure she was scrapped.
Well there is the rupee glitch
Is that confirmed or is this just an educated guess?
I'm pretty sure that there was a story shortly after the artbooks release that said they were surprised by how popular the concept was and said they were considering adding it to the game later, so I wouldn't exactly call it scrapped.
Especially with the crossbow in the 3DS version which pretty much confirms she is in.

Unused concept.

They should add a challenge mode where you fight neverending waves of Links. Especially if they add fem!Link. You must fight off the encroaching preposterous numbers of Links!
Maybe the crossbow will be wielded by Malon? Probably not, but I can dream.
Both, kinda: https://youtu.be/C2L8Cfafrvc?t=1m27s
I would have to imagine the reason it only shows Tetra and the King is because they didn't want to reveal the other things like Toon Link back when the game was first revealed.

It was initially a concept that they didn't have time to flesh out and omitted it. They are probably gonna add it in for Legends though.
Maybe those conceptual costumes for the characters as well.
Oh I knew about the transfer, I meant about the code being used to transfer the characters, I didn't think we knew how the transfer would work yet.
It's logical to assume it will be a code, but is it confirmed?
Hmm, I hope so.
Pineapple Staff/Lady Gaga Cia please
or Valkyrie Zelda
or long haired Impa
Hmmm yes please

Probably through a code of some sort that allows you to DL stuff off the E-shop off a encrypted page.
She looks pretty <3, but still prefer the final design, it's more Impa in the end, we have too many long haired characters.or long haired Impa
Hmmm yes please
I agree.

Impa is the only one I like.
The rest are too "anime" looking, especially Ganondorf who looks ridiculous and is missing his cyan and maroon sash that's consistently used in his design that ties his designs together. His armor is also way off color for Ganondorf.
Thank god for Twilight Princess costumes.
330 hours. First adventure map complete, second probably 80% done, haven't even broken bedrock in the 3rd and 4th adventure map.
There might too much content in this game.

Enjoy your flip flap cape
I will get it IF there is a cross save feature, I won't be playing it all over again.
I hope they fix balance issues, I wouldn't mind more overpowered characters because of how spongy some stages/enemies get (looking at you, Majora's Mask map) or at least make it cheaper to level up.
You can, but it's freaking expensive.

I'm really hoping that all of the new 3DS content comes to Wii U. I love The Wind Waker enough that I am willing to buy the 3DS version for it, but I don't want to play any of it on a portable where the enemy count will be lower and the environments won't be as pretty. I want to experience The Wind Waker content on my TV screen, and I really hope Koei Tecmo is going to allow me to do that.
Upgrade badge.
Which is still random/not constant enough and not a fix for some of the problems [but damn if it doesn't help!]
?
Not quite sure what you are getting at here. The crossbow is an upgrade badge?
thechristoph
Sir!
An upgrade badge will not be shown in a trailer video or a montage artwork. So even if it would have been possible for it to be a new weapon from LCT and/or an upgrade badge, it doesn't change anything, Linkle is the best bet.
I see why people say Lana is too anime, but IMO she's fine and she got (and most of HW characters) a good design. I think this character design is much better than some in the past Zelda games from the main series. Resistance guys in TP, baddies in Spirit Tracks... all largely inferior to Lana/Ganondorf/Cya, even Wizzro in HW.
The only problem IMO is that we don't see much of her story. She just shows up and OK let's go defeat Cya. Actually seeing some sort of temple where she works with ornaments that recall her outfit would have helped.

HW reinterpretations of existing/classic Zelda characters are gorgeous, even if I'm not sure they are superior to the "official" ones.
The brand new original character aren't, imho, at all.
The HW redesigns were nice enough; but I agree that they did feel more generic than those of the main games - Ganondorf and Zelda in particular sort of felt like they lost the most of their original character, though the former is a striking enough design in a vaccuum. The original characters ranged from bland to trash, but Wizzro was actually a fairly good design; even if he probably doesn't exactly count as original due to being heavily influenced by the main series' existing Wizzrobe and Poe types.
In any case, it worked in context, and I'd fully welcome a similar makeover for all the other characters who were portrayed more faithfully as DLC or in a future re-release.

This is too godlike.
Dat sexy mane....!
But... Helmaroc King... DO WANT! My favourite boss in this franchise <3
(Until he loses the helmet. Then I want nothing to do with him)
We got confirmation of at least Tetra and King of the Red Lions as free DLC for the Wii U version. No word on further characters/modes, though.

Please, Nintendo, don't make me go back to Hyrule Warriors... I've spent 230 hours in this thing. I'm always telling myself that I'm done with the game (first adventure map completed, 1/3 of master quest done), but every time I turn on my Wii U I feel like that little Link icon is calling me... what an amazing game.
I feel you.
On one hand it's amazing to feel like there is ALWAYS something to do in the game and that I can go back to it whenever I want.
but on the other hand I'm like "No! enough is enough!"

I feel like people are forgetting the 3DS version will have the character-switching feature from Samurai Warriors Chronicles. Have up to four characters on a map at a time, and you can touch their icon to switch between them. So no more running across the whole map with one character; you can just switch to a different character who's closer to the fortress in peril or whatever. I might buy the 3DS version just for that. Maybe.
Free if you have the 3DS game or completely free?
