So Cia, Volga, and Wizro or whatever his name is. Volga should have some cool fire-based Dragon transformation attacks.

As expected. Not overly disappointed but I hope this isn't the only dlc to come for the game.

Any mention of cost?

A little dispointing but still cool to have enw content.
I was expecting new characters to be playable, and not new playable (already seen in the game) characters.

Good, good! It was surprising that it wasn't from the beginning. I want to see the video, is it a
reskin of Lana
?

Looks like there are four more DLC pack planned in the future.
Think I heard Twilight pack, Majora's Mask, Ganon and something else.
Though, I might be wrong.
 
It honestly didn't make sense they weren't playable in the beginning. The humanoid villains are always unlockable in Warriors games. They should be free.

Why? Everybody knows that
there is a character named Lana in this game. I asked about a reskin, not a plot twist

Because
all characters in thegame are unique so one being a reskin might make people ask questions. Best to be safe imo

they should make the moon a joke character. Crash into the battlefield, 1 shot everything all at once :p
 
More Twilight Princess is a good thing. Also Majora's Mask is the best game outside of the three already represented to get more content with it's Orcarina connection.

If they are actually creating a lot of post-release content Groose should become a playable character. Skyward Sword having only Fi and Ghirahim while Agitha gets in rubs me the wrong way. I'll happily pay up to $8 for him alone.

If there are additional tp characters I want ashei, hero's shade and one of the cannon operatives as a joke character.

A master quest pack
A MM pack
A TP pack
A Ganon pack
Sounds good :)

Thanks, I couldn't read that kanji for the 1st pack. From the looks of it, it does look like additional content, not just costumes. I mean, what kind of costulmes would you get with a Master Quest Pack? Master Quest didn't introduce new characters in OoT.

I'm loving this post release support Nintendo published games have been getting
I think it's because of Koei Tecmo and I really don't like it if they are gonna just overcharge for some costumes. The store-exclusive preorder bonus was already a big foul.

Maybe a lot of challenge mode stages.

Edit: or just three villains?

Funnily enough, his question raised no flags, but your explanation sure does :) Luckily I won't be playing Hyrule warriors (or any Warriors game) for story anytime soon.
