Yes! Even though Hyrule Warriors is getting explicit "Majora's Mask" DLC in February, the latest DLC, now available in Japan and coming to the rest of the world around the 15th, includes 2 outfits based off Majora Mask characters! And since people seem to love these Majora Mask remake hints, I thought I'd alert more people.

First for Darunia, there's this outfit...recognize it? Perhaps take a closer look at that scar on his stomach? Yes, this outfit resembles Darmani's Ghost from Majora's Mask!

Second for Ruto, she's now the lead-singer of the Indigo-Go's, Lulu!

On a related note, Zelda also gets a costume that makes her resemble Hilda from A Link Between Worlds.

In addition, the DLC also has quite a fair amount of new costumes, although the rest are basic stuff such as "gothic" Agitha, maskless Zant, and purple Link.

 

[Pumpkins]

Whoa, that's awesome!!

 

[MrSaturn99]

That's rad. Looking forward to the MM characters in the future.

 

[WonderzL]

That Hilda! Very nice touch.

 

[timetokill]

Love the Hilda inclusion. Very nice!

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Needs Oni link.

 

[Anth0ny]

fuck yes Darmani

 

[Kinsei]

I wouldn't call purple Link basic. I'm pretty sure it's based off of Four Swords.

 

[Kyari]

These are some simple but rad costumes. More like this

 

[SweetDonuts]

They're doing a great job with the DLC

 

[Bomber Bob]

game of the forever

 

[kunonabi]

Hilda outfit is awesome. Still need to unlock Zelda though.

 

[Clefargle]

Want to see that "Gothic Agitha" badly.

 

[darkmagus]

OHH YISSS Darmani, the DLC for this game so far is so Good. I can't wait for Majora's Mask Pack.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

With the Majora's Mask costumes and the Majora's Mask Pack due out in February, I am 100% expecting a Majora's Mask 3DS announcement early next year.

And Hyrule Warriors' obsession with Twilight Princess makes me wonder if a Twilight Princess HD is in the works as well.

 

[SirPainsalot]

I hope they include some DLC for the more minor zelda games like the oracles and minish cap. They need more love

 

[Byronic Hero]

That Hilda costume is pretty nice.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yo, too awesome.

 

[spindashing]

The game needs a lot more GROOSE, but I'm not mad at Hyrule Warriors at all. Awesome DLC.

 

[Kinsei]

Want to see that "Gothic Agitha" badly.

Here you go.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Not bad. Still expecting a combination of Fierce Diety Link/Mikau/Skull Kid for the new characters.

 

[Insaniac]

so, does this mean no actual Majora's Mask new characters?

I would love a TP HD Make over, as it's my favorite game in the franchise.

However I really don't think that is the case, I honestly just think that it's the highest rated and best selling Zelda after OoT's release so they are using stuff from it to sell HW.

 

[Kinsei]

There will be two new characters in the Majora's Mask pack. Going by the name, I think it's safe to assume they'll be MM characters.

Good news for you: it's January, not February.

Pretty sure the developers just like it a lot.

 

[KelpPlankton]

These are cool skins. Too bad Zelda didn't get a Hilda recolor in Smash Bros...

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Yeah, Hilda is only the third hand-held reference I've seen...

1. Bow-Wow (and he's a Mario character)
2. Gauntlets seems to be partially inspired by Magnetic Gloves from Oracle, as they're electric based and can repel enemies
3. Hilda costume

I might be missing something minor, but sadly that's it.

so, does this mean no actual Majora's Mask new characters?

No, that will be in the Majora's Mask DLC.

 

[SerTapTap]

Darmani lookin' good. Ruto's legs look...weird with that fade effect. I think I'll pick this up with DLC at some sale or another, looks good but I'm not quite sold. Certainly seem to be going a good job though.

Needs Oni link.

Fierce Deity? I thought that was in but not as a costume. Would love it to be a proper outfit though.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Good news for you: it's January, not February.

It's February. January in Japan.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Not bad. Still expecting a combination of Fierce Diety Link/Mikau/Skull Kid for the new characters.

Please no. I want somebody who looks differently aesthetically, such as the Happy Mask Salesman or Tingle.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

Blonde =/= goth

No, that will be in the Majora's Mask DLC.

It's a mix of both for Gauntlets? Not to mention more so from Twilight Princess if anything.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Who told you it's February? Have they changed the date?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

A lot of the weapons seem to borrow from multiple sources. Deku Stick includes the Slingshot and Deku Leaf, Fire Rod changes into the Gust Bellows, etc.

The Gauntlets also reference the Mogma Mitts as the first combo digs through the earth. But yeah, I just theorize the Magnetic Glove reference is on purpose, in reality it's probably just a coincidence.

You're reading too much into this.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Man, the Hilda costume looks great. It's pretty... astonishing that there is no Hilda color swap in the new Smash Bros. games.

 

[Mookie1515]

Skull Kid and Fierce Deity Link are absolute must haves in this game! And if all of this leads to a Majora's Mask remake.... do this right Nintendo!

 

[Beckx]

Tell me purple Link has black hair.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Please no. I want somebody who looks differently aesthetically, such as the Happy Mask Salesman or Tingle.

You know they aren't going to just ignore Fierce Diety. It's like the most obvious inclusion for a game like this.

 

[zroid]

Ruto costume is awesome

 

[MagiusNecros]

Tell me purple Link has black hair.

Nope. But the Scarf while not Black/Blue Checker Pattern makes it look damn close.

--------------

Fierce Deity will either be a sep character, a weapon for Link, or a Costume for Link. Probably.

 

[Volotaire]

Hmm they're not exactly Majora related. They've just skinned them in dark colours instead of subbing in a Majora model for the goron like the baby Goron or the old Goron.

 

[ArchedThunder]

These are cool skins. Too bad Zelda didn't get a Hilda recolor in Smash Bros...

I know, it's super weird that she didn't get one.

 

[Brizzo24]

game of the forever

I've been holding off from buying HW (too much on the ol' backlog) and I just don't see it being $59.99. But dammit if this comment didn't sell me on it.

 

[Kyzon]

Delicious!

 

[Crayolan]

These are pretty cool. Can't wait for the Majora's Mask characters, I'm expecting Skull Kid and another Link variation (probably Fierce Deity or Young Link).

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Blonde =/= goth

For Japan having blonde hair is goth since it's not a natural color.

Hmm they're not exactly Majora related. They've just skinned them in dark colours instead of subbing in a Majora model for the goron like the baby Goron or the old Goron.

Uh...yeah, they are?

This costume explicitly adds a scar to the Darunia model. The Ruto one specifically puts her in a dress.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Who told you it's February? Have they changed the date?

The eShop

 

[El Odio]

So... why is the triforce still pointing upwards on the Hilda costume?

 

[Trike]

Would have loved to see Fierce Diety Link as an alternate costume, but I suppose he and Majora will be the DLC characters in Majora's Mask pack.
