Spoiler

[Xeroblade]

they need to add the Old Man.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

they need to add the Old Man.

He's gonna have two campfires that shoot fireballs.

 

[Kandinsky]

I need to see blue midna in motion now plz.

 

[Grylvak]

Game looks beautiful, and I can't wait to play it! I also love all of the DLC so far. SS Link and Zelda is my favorite

 

[zruben]

hot damn.

my first reaction to this game was "meh, I'll buy it at 15 bucks from the used game bin"...
after all these updates and info they've been sharing, I want to preorder it.

 

[emb]

they need to add the Old Man.

Yeahhh.

And on that note, they need to add the shop keeper from Link's Awakening. Dude's apparently stronger than any boss Link has had to face.

Character profiles:

Fi

Fi is the spirit of the "Goddess Sword" sealed inside the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft. Once the worlds became fused together, Fi was transported from the world of Skyward Sword into the world of Hyrule Warriors.

With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically and offers advice and wisdom to whoever holds the sword. Its body is made of a blue, metal-like material. Although it has the appearance of a young girl, Fi is genderless and does not have emotions.

Fi floats and moves in the air, and transforms into a sword to attack.

Ghirahim

Ghirahim is the Demon Lord who tried to resurrect his master; the leader of the demons who was sealed away.

He is enormously proud of himself, and vain about his own appearance.
He may appear to be formal and polite at first, but once he loses his temper, his brutal and cruel nature emerges.

He attacks with multiple knives in the air, or transforms himself into a giant blade to slash his enemy in a single sweep. He is skilled with swords of all kind, and also good at confusing his enemies with his teleportation ability and by summoning demons. When he loses his composure, he transforms to enhance his power and increase his attack abilities.



The Imprisonned

His entire body is covered in hard, scale-like protrusions. On top of his head you can see the stake that was once used to seal him away, but due to his massive size, you won't be able to attack it directly. There are, however, some soft, white areas at the tips of his toes....

The dark beast who was imprisoned in the Sealed Grounds in the world of Skyward Sword. He is believed to have the power to lead the world to destruction.

The Imprisoned is a massive, mountainous beast whose heavy stomping creates powerful shockwaves that can blow away anything nearby.

 

[Bullza2o]

Okay I'm definitely buying this game. I can't help it.

 

[Kyzon]

I think I'm most excited to attack foes with the iron gauntlets.

 

[TreIII]

So no ALBW characters...confirmed. I still don't expect any handheld/2D characters though looking at the way it has been going.

Anything's possible, but it looks like the pool of 2D characters will be much slimmer with ALBW not a possibility, and the likelihood of Koei staying far away from whatever Capcom probably had a hand in.

Our best bet is that whatever self-professed Zelda fans Koei has on staff have at least played LTTP and Link' Awakening.

So both Fi and Ghirahim transform into their sword mode for some of their attacks.

Dark Master Sword

returns!

 

[Mesoian]

If I was ever going to cosplay LOZ, it would be that. That combo looks f'n sick.

 

[Jarlaxle]

This game is complete and utter fan service and I love it.

I can't believe I'm excited for a Musuo game. It's been years.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

That Zelda design seriously needs to be in the main games.

It's absolutely perfect.

 

[Neoxon]

Those costumes reaffirm how great the character designs in Skyward Sword were.

And Smash 4 ignored them completely. Granted, it'd be odd to have SS Zelda in Smash, but at least SS Link (not that I hate TP Link). Then again, they probably want everyone consistent besides Toon Link (because Ganondorf is eventually coming).

Some 720p shots from Facebook

 

[spyroflame0487]

Did anyone make a Waifu Warriors joke yet?

Actually I'm really excited about this game, it looks like a lot of fun.
King of Red Lions boat form confirmed when? Floating around in the air, smacking people with the stern, launching bombs/hitting enemies with the grapple claw. pls happen

 

[Fandangox]

So

Spoiler

both Fi and Ghirahim transform into their sword mode for some of their attacks.

Dark Master Sword returns!

You may want to spoiltag the second half of that comment, I figure people who have not played Skyward Sword are not aware of that.

Also I think its mentioning that he transforms into his "darker" more powered up version, as he does in the second fight against him, as opposed to his

Spoiler

sword form.

Also I wonder if the Imprisoned will be a endgame enemy before Demise shows up.

 

[BY2K]

What's this about no ALBW characters?

 

[-Horizon-]

Hope Kina is playable.

 

[Beelzebufo]

While I won't hold out hope for characters like Tingle, Medli, and the King of Red Lions, I think the prevalence of the "serious" 3D Zeldas and huge amount of fan service means that we can expect Fierce Diety Mask to be an alternate weapon for Link.

 

[BY2K]

Rated M in Australia.

 

[Fandangox]

I can totally see Phoenix Wright-like jokes out of that rating.

 

[-Horizon-]

Rated M in Australia.

Multiplatform?

 

[MagiusNecros]

So both Fi and Ghirahim transform into their sword mode for some of their attacks.

Dark Master Sword returns!

Demise is basically confirmed at this point if the Imprisoned wasn't convincing enough.

 

[BY2K]

Multiplatform?

I think they always say that, no matter the platform/exclusivity.

 

[Mr Swine]

Possibility that they put in Agahnim from ALTTP?

 

[-Horizon-]

I think they always say that, no matter the platform/exclusivity.

Oh ok. I was going :0 for a moment there after reading that.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Multiplatform?

It's online, so multiple WiiU's are interacting.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Rated M in Australia.

well Link does swing his Massive thing

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Awww... SS Zelda (the character) is the best version of her. Hands down.

 

[Kater]

Ghirahim looks great, and that is all that matters. Fi, Zelda with Wind Waker and Link with the Power Glove are also quite neat.

Spoiler

Can't wait for the WW characters reveal

Spoiler

;_;

 

[Neiteio]

He's gonna have two campfires that shoot fireballs.

Old Man shooting fireballs from two campfire sprites and tossing swords at enemies while saying "IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE, TAKE THIS" would be god-tier

 

[Kinsei]

Awww... SS Zelda (the character) is the best version of her. Hands down.

In terms of design? Maybe, but TP Zelda is my favorite. In terms of character and personality? Hell no, not in a world where Spirit Tracks exists.

EDIT: Why the hell did my keyboard switch to French? The E`s in my original post were meant to be ?'s

 

[Beelzebufo]

If the game was too far along to put in ALBW characters, that probably also means no Alfonzo

And the Groosenator but no Groose is a shame

 

[Timeaisis]

In celebration:

I hope I get to hear this in HW.

 

[victreeb3l]

Damn, so much Skyward Sword love. Ghirahim is boss and the Imprisoned is pretty nice too.

Does that mean

Spoiler

Demise is next?

Zeldas design looks great in this game.

 

[random25]

Rated M in Australia.

LOL Link has traversed the world of the mature...

 

[OceanBlue]

Rated M in Australia.

Lol, what? Is this just an Australia ratings board thing?

 

[Mesoian]

Lol, what? Is this just an Australia ratings board thing?

Pretty much. See Australia and Germany's history on banning games for things widely accepted by the rest of global society.

 

[foxuzamaki]

aww yiss

 

[MrSaturn99]

glad to see the shittiness of skyward sword's trees was left intact

 

[georly]

It's online, so multiple WiiU's are interacting.

When was it announced that this game would have online? What form of online?

 

[Beelzebufo]

When was it announced that this game would have online? What form of online?

I don't know, it says it on the ratings thing though. Miiverse?

 

[Mesoian]

When was it announced that this game would have online? What form of online?

I don't think so, but if it doesn't have it, that would make this pretty feature lacking compared to the other Musou games.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Wow Girihim is FABULOUS!

Such bueaty!

 

[georly]

I don't think so, but if it doesn't have it, that would make this pretty feature lacking compared to the other Musou games.

What do other musou games do for online?

 

[Tookay]

To this day I'm surprised at how many people played this fight the wrong/boring way. Heck I'm surprised at how many people played the entirety of SS the boring way.

Yep.

His fights are great.

All of them.
